As the siblings of\u00a0Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla squabble<\/a> over the business surrounding her legacy, the late singer’s husband, Chris P\u00e9rez, has taken to social media to say he refuses to participate in the nastiness.<\/p>\n

“This is me … NOT getting involved in any kind of legal capacity with either side,”\u00a0P\u00e9rez wrote\u00a0on Facebook<\/a>. P\u00e9rez\u2019s statement comes after Selena\u2019s siblings, A.B. Quintanilla and Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga, traded barbs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a Sept. 1 social media post, A.B. alluded to \u201ca lawsuit related to Suzette\u00a0Arriaga,\u201d as well as unspecified \u201cfacts and circumstances\u201d involving their late father, Abraham Quintanilla. He said the issues in the alleged legal action date back years but declined to provide details.<\/p>\n

Suzette and her mother, Marcella Quintanilla, disputed A.B.\u2019s account in a Sept. 2 social media post<\/a>. They said Suzette has never been served with a lawsuit and they’ve been unable to locate a publicly filed case matching A.B.\u2019s description.<\/p>\n

A.B. responded with\u00a0yet another<\/a> social media post, stating “I don’t lie” and asserting that Suzette was “notified of a lawsuit related to her fiduciary duties.” The post included screenshots of an Aug. 26 email correspondence between Los Angeles-based law firm Manatt, Phelps & Phillips and Beverly Hills attorney Michael\u00a0Trauben.<\/p>\n

The email, addressed to\u00a0Trauben, contended that Suzette did not respect A.B.’s “request to exercise his contractual right to inspect the estate’s books and records.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whatever the facts behind the Quintanilla family flare-up, P\u00e9rez has made it clear he won’t be taking sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Please, stop tagging me in your posts … that means you,” he wrote. “These social media ‘reporter’ guys are so lame … and (seemingly) getting fed false info like goldfish get fed their goldfish food. I hope they eat enough food that their bellies explode!!!!”<\/p>\n

P\u00e9rez and Selena secretly married<\/a> in 1992, despite her father’s disapproval. The couple stayed together until\u00a0Selena was shot in the back and killed by Yolanda Sald\u00edvar, the president of her fan club, in Corpus Christi on March 31, 1995. Selena was 23. Sald\u00edvar was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.<\/p>\n
