Young man claims to be Shakira's son and asks to be recognised
A new challenge for Shakira has been added to the ones she already has, and there are quite a few given that she has split up from Gerard Pique this summer.
Now, Colombian actor Santiago Alarcon has made public the fact that he and his family are being harassed by a young man who claims to be his and Shakira's son.
The young man, whose identity remains a mystery, claims to be a product of a relationship that he claims Shakira and Santiago Alarcon had years ago.
"I am the victim of harassment and extortion by a young man whose name I am going to omit on the lawyer's recommendation, but we are going to call him a boy," Alarcon declared as he made this revelation.
"He says that I gave him up for adoption in 1992, but I was 12 years old then.
"This is a case of extortion because he is asking me for 835 million pesos.
"You won't believe me and I'm ashamed to name her, but I have to name her so that you can see the absurdity of the story, as he claims that his biological mother is Shakira.
"Imagine how far this has gone. I fear for my safety, my children's safety, my family's safety, my workplace has already been violated."
Another drama for Shakira
This comes at a terrible time for Shakira, as she is also currently working out custody of her children Milan and Sasha, following her split from Gerard Pique.
This claim will be shrugged off by most as being ridiculous, but this latest rumour isn't helpful.
Santiago Alarcon made the accusation public on an Instagram video that has, logically, gone viral, while he has also filed a report with the police.
