Emotions were high as singer Jenni Rivera posthumously received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame more than a decade after she was killed in a plane crash near Monterrey, Mexico. KNBC’s Amber Frias has the details.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame stars of Selena Quintanilla, known as the Queen of Tejano music, and fellow Mexican American icon Jenni Rivera were vandalized twice this week with black paint, sparking outrage as well as loving support from fans, who even helped clean the defaced stars. Both singers are recognized for their contributions to Latin music during careers that were tragically cut short — Selena was killed by a fan when she was 23, and Rivera died at age 43 in a plane crash.
” Jenni Rivera, “la Diva de la Banda,” is considered by many to be the most important female figure in regional Mexican music. Rivera’s daughter Jacquelin Marin Rivera said on social media that fans from Texas who were visiting her mother’s star made her aware of the vandalism on Monday, according to NBC News 4 Los Angeles. Videos began to circulate on social media of fans scrubbing Rivera’s star.
