Kate del Castillo Breaks Silence on Sean Penn, El Chapo Meeting

Drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán may not have had any idea who Sean Penn was before agreeing to meet with him in the jungle, but he definitely knew all about Penn’s companion, Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, a attractive tequila spokesperson he wanted to bring home to his mother.

“Thank you for your support over the past days”. Not surprisingly, many have chosen to make up items they think will make good stories and that aren’t truthful.

Del Castillo responds: “I’m so moved that you say you’ll take care of me, no one has ever cared for me…”

Somehow Penn met with Guzman and interviewed him in Mexico while he was on the lam. El Chapo has been recaptured and returned to prison but Penn’s interview has been published in Rolling Stone Magazine.

Saucy text messages between drug Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán and a Latin actress were intercepted by Mexican authorities revealing his desperation to meet the TV star.

Mexican officials claim they were finally able to get a beat on Guzman’s whereabouts by monitoring a secret Rolling Stone interview he set up with Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn.

According to reports, El Chapo provided del Castillo with her burner phone, reportedly trying four different phone stores in search of a pink Blackberry before settling for a grey one. Federal officials also said they had detected recent efforts to register “El Chapo Guzman” as a commercial trademark, possibly by the drug lord’s lawyers.

“What I can say is we are gratified the capture was successful”. “I’m more excited about you than the story”, Guzman writes.

Del Castillo has not publicly commented on the meeting.

“Guzman is in a different, very cold zone of the prison and in complete isolation”, the cartel head’s lawyer, Juan Pablo Badillo, complained to reporters after visiting his client, comparing his current conditions to those he escaped previous year.

Following her admissions on Twitter, Del Castillo was contacted by one of Guzman’s lawyers who asked her for an address so that El Senor could send her flowers in a show of gratitude for her words.

In the messages, even Guzman recognizes that Mexican or USA intelligence officials were probably following or monitoring numerous people who knew him. Government spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said in a statement that they are not looking into specific people but the meeting in general.

Guzman, 58, replied: “I’m more excited about you than the story”.

Guzman’s recapture in 2014, which came after a 13-year manhunt, was a huge win for Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s administration – but was short-lived.

The episode capped six increasingly freakish months, as Guzman turned from a notorious crime boss – thought to be a billionaire, controlling over half of Mexico’s drug supplies to the United States – into an worldwide celebrity, following the brazenness of his escape and time as a fugitive.
