Alicia Machado has resurfaced in the news again after Democratic presidential nominee Hilary Clinton referred to how Donald Trump disrespected the beauty queen. While Machado has publicly supported Clinton in the upcoming election, the beauty queen is currently being accused of having a child with a drug cartel member.
According to FOX News Latino, reports are coming out of Mexico that Machado had a love affair with a rankling member of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel, who is rumored to be the father of her daughter.
Numerous Mexican newspapers reported in 2010 that Machado had been romantically involved with José Gerardo “El Indio” Alvarez – a capo for the Beltrán Leyva cartel who is now behind bars. The child's christening, they reported, was attended by Arturo Beltrán Leyva, aka “El Jefe de Jefes” ("the Boss of Bosses"), his brother Héctor Beltrán and Edgar “La Barbie” Valdés Villarreal.
Machado has denied the allegations from the start but the rumor mill is still buzzing. She claims that her daughter’s father is actually a Mexican businessman named Rafael Hernandez. The Mexican government planned to release an official document proving that “El Indio” is not the father, but the document is not available to the public.
Neither Machado nor the Clinton campaign responded to Fox News Latino's request for comment.
The news comes at an interesting time as the election is just weeks away. During the debate, Clinton brought up Machado’s claim that Trump called her “Miss Piggy” after she gained weight.
Trump is known to stir the pot, and speak about women in a specific regard. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Trump uses this new information as bait in order to sway the public from his comments about Machado.
