The series Ellas Soy Yo, featuring Gloria Trevi, has become a major hit and it appears it will continue to generate a lot of buzz in the coming weeks.

Marlene Calderón is closely connected to the Mexican singer’s life and was one of her backup singers.

Recently, her name resurfaced following the sad news of her 16-year-old son’s passing.

In fact, the ‘Zapatos Viejos’ singer dedicated a heartfelt message to her on social media, indicating that they still maintain a good relationship.

Marlene Calderón: Her beginnings and her tumultuous career with Gloria Trevi

Originally from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, Marlene Calderón had a knack for the arts from a young age.

Her journey with Gloria Trevi began at the age of 13 when Aline Hernández, Sergio Andrade’s ex-wife, met her and brought her to work with the singer.

«My parents were very excited. I went straight to work as Gloria’s backup singer, and I was always the official backup singer,» she said in an interview with journalist Adela Micha.

However, the young girl couldn’t imagine the hell she was about to endure, or that it would last for several agonizing years.

The Trevi-Andrade clan violated her rights

During this conversation, Marlene Calderón told Adela Micha that her rights were violated, and she wasn’t allowed to talk on the phone with her parents.

This was because she spent nine months in jail as part of the Trevi-Andrade clan, in addition to suffering other terrible injustices.

«They clipped my wings. I recorded an album that never came out,» said Marlene, who wholeheartedly wanted to become a singer.

Few people know that she had a child with music producer Sergio Andrade, although that’s not the son who recently passed away.

Marlene Calderón inspired Gladys in Ellas Soy Yo

According to what has been shown so far on Ellas Soy Yo… Gladys was inspired by a childhood friend of Gloria Trevi’s.

In the story, the young girl started studying at Sergio Andrade’s school shortly after meeting him on a trip with Gloria to Monterrey.

Even though her parents opposed it, Gladys went to Mexico City to pursue her dream without realizing what would happen.

However, it turns out Gladys’ story is inspired by that of Marlene Calderón, who was sexually assaulted by the music producer.

Gladys’ identity is revealed in Episode 15 of the series

According to La Razón, in episode 15 of Ellas Soy Yo, entitled ‘Las Chicas del Coro’ (The Choir Girls), Gladys’ identity is revealed.

In this episode, a performance by Gloria Trevi that actually happened is recreated. Here, the singer introduces her three backup singers.

It’s worth noting that in real life, the singer was accompanied by two backup singers: Mary Boquitas and Marlene Calderón.

Evelyn Álvarez, an actress from Monterrey, who was Miss Nuevo León in 2019, portrays this character on the show.

The tragic death of Marlene Calderón’s son

As mentioned earlier, Marlene Calderón’s son passed away recently at the age of 16.

Through her official Instagram account, Gloria Trevi said that Orlando brought them «a little closer to God.»

«If, for just one day, we could try to win a postage stamp to heaven to send Orlando a message of love, it would be something very special,» she stated.

Marlene did not reveal on her social media what happened to her son. Rest in peace. (TO VIEW AN IMAGE OF MARLENE CALDERÓN, CLICK HERE)
