Susan Villanueva, the eldest daughter of Peruvian comedian Pablo Villanueva, known as Melcochita, has praised her father's 22-year-old partner Heydi Amado while launching a sharp critique against his former partner Monserrat Seminario over ongoing financial demands.
Speaking to the Peruvian newspaper Trome, Villanueva said she maintains frequent communication with Amado and talks to her more often than she speaks with her father. She praised the young partner for the care and attention she provides to the veteran performer as he prepares to mark his 90th birthday.
Villanueva described Amado as acting like a nurse who remains constantly attentive to the comedian to ensure he is well looked after. She confirmed that the two plan to spend time together during her upcoming visit to the Peruvian capital of Lima.
Upcoming visit and 90th birthday preparations
Villanueva is scheduled to arrive in Lima on September 16, a date she chose specifically to reunite with her father and assist with the preparations for his milestone 90th birthday celebrations.
In addition to praising Amado, Villanueva expressed strong frustration regarding her father's relationship with his former partner, Monserrat Seminario. She claimed that her father continues to bear the burden of covering numerous personal and household expenses associated with Seminario's living situation.
Financial disputes with former partner
Referring to Seminario as a crazy woman who asks her father for everything, Villanueva stated that the financial arrangement remains a persistent source of conflict within the family. She asserted that Seminario does not currently hold a job and does not know how to work or do anything for herself.
According to Villanueva, Seminario continues to make extensive financial demands on the aging entertainer, leaving her father with no choice but to pay all of her expenses despite her lack of employment.
Background on the Peruvian entertainer
Pablo Villanueva, widely known by his stage name Melcochita, is a prominent Peruvian comedian, actor, and sonero musician who has been a staple of South American television and salsa music for decades.
