She started having financial problems when she was fired from TV Azteca and had to pay for her sister’s drug rehabilitation.

After Rogelio won a lawsuit against TV Azteca for breach of contract and demanded payment for the telenovelas he did not make due to causes outside of his control, the company proposed he returns to finish the remaining telenovelas.

On April 13, 2012, Rogelio was ordered to pay 26 million pesos as compensation, and his stage name was also seized. He later suffered a stroke that caused him to lose his speech and mobility.
