Mark Tacher Retracts From Sebastián Rulli Comments, Forced To Swallow His Words

Mark Tacher and Sebastián Rulli have been confirmed to star in Televisa's new telenovela "Papá A Toda Madre." The news came as a shock to fans of both actors as Tacher once said he would never work with Rulli. These comments were made while Mark was dating Cecilia Galleano, who is the mother of Rulli's baby Santi. Cecilia and Sebastián were going through a rough custody battle and Mark was caught in the middle and defended his girlfriend at the time. "I would not be capable of acting alongside the man," he said back in 2014. "No, I would never work with the actor. It's obvious that we can't separate the person from the artist."

With the announcement of his new telenovela gig, Tacher was asked about his famous words and this is what he said: "Yes, yes, shoulder to shoulder, elbow to elbow. It was mentioned on social media that I was going to be the villain, but I am Rulli's best friend [in the series], I am like his counselor on how to manage his company. I have the utmost respect for Sebastián, ultimately him and I never had a problem and any comment out of order I apologize. I never tried to offend. Working alongside Sebastián, he's a successful person, creative, very disciplined, that has had much success, it's a pleasure for me."

"Papá A Toda Madre" is the story of frivolous business owner Mauricio, who is forced to grow up when confronted with an unconventional situation: a 9-year old girl shows up claiming to be his daughter. The revelation throws off Mauricio’s plans to marry into wealth to save his family business, which his best friend has led into bankruptcy, and he enlists his ex-employee to help raise the girl. In the midst of a love story full of unexpected arcs, Mauricio discovers his best friend is actually the girl’s father, and he must choose between saving his company and fighting for his new family.

Back in 2014, Sebastián Rulli and Cecilia Galliano were in the middle of a legal battle .The whole case started when the couple separated and Rulli sold off a vehicle Galliano allegedly gifted him. After their separation, Galliano requested the vehicle be returned to her but Sebastián had already sold it and couldn't retrieve it. It appeared that Rulli forged Galliano's signature to sell the vehicle. Sebastian's lawyer is not happy with the outcome and is already preparing to head back to court to save his client's "honor."

"We have 15 business days to present in court a protection claim and for it to be resolved by the collegiate circuit tribunal, that is a federal matter and they have different civil servants who are more serious," David Cohen Sacal, Sebastian's lawyer, told Shanik En Fórmula. "We are confident that we will win this case." Cohen Sacal also revealed the state of mind his client is at. "Sebastián is very calm, he is perfectly confident in me. We have won all of the issues that were to our favor, like the divorce from Cecilia. He knows that if I am giving him my word one hundred percent that I am going to win this case, it's because I'm going to win it."

He also added, "This is not a matter of money, nor an SUV, it's a matter of honor and word and a personal matter that they both have. It is fair to say that Mrs. Galliano said she didn't sign the document but the experts determined it was her signature, that is why she lost the first hearing."
