No hard feelings

Years later, in 2017 Daisy broke the silence about Luis Miguel when they asked her what she thought of the bioseries, which was about to be released, she said the following. “I hope it is something very beautiful, very good and that it goes very well,” she commented to the program Suelta la Sopa.
