Tulum, Quintana Roo — A woman who has accused former Tulum official Lorenzo Bernabé Miranda Miranda of domestic violence and attempted femicide has spoken publicly for the first time, expressing fear for her safety and alleging a recent attack that required surgery.

In a video posted on social media, the woman said she was in a relationship with Miranda from 2022 to 2026, during which she suffered multiple episodes of violence. She claimed that on one occasion she was beaten unconscious and later choked when she tried to use her phone to call for help.

The woman stated that these incidents are part of the complaints and investigation files opened with authorities. She said she has audio, video, photographs, and other evidence to support her claims but will not release them to avoid compromising the ongoing legal proceedings.

“A few days ago I was again the victim of an attack, which resulted in surgery due to the injuries I suffered. Even so, I have tried to stay out of the public eye so that my case is treated with the seriousness it deserves,” she said in the video.

She said her statement came in response to a video by Idolina Tapia Fiallo, Miranda’s wife, who had questioned the authorities’ actions and claimed the accusations were false. The woman argued that responsibility should be determined based on evidence and investigations, not attributed to the institutions handling the case.

She added that authorities have carried out the proper procedures according to the law and reiterated that justice will determine responsibility and legal consequences. She said she has avoided giving more details publicly to preserve due process and not interfere with the investigation files.

Finally, she requested measures to protect her safety and asked that, if she suffers any aggression, authorities thoroughly investigate Miranda and Tapia Fiallo, taking into account the background and existing case files. The accusations are part of ongoing legal proceedings, and it will be up to the competent authorities to determine responsibility.
