The interview with the wife of El Chapo

Lucio R. Borderland Beat


El Chapo's "Queen"

Emma Coronel, 26 year old wife of imprisoned Sinaloa cartel leader, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, wrote a letter to Telemundo, reaching out because of concerns she says she has of the life of her husband.  That letter culminated in an in person interview, that was televised on Telemundo tonight.

The sit down meeting transpired in a restaurant.  

Coronel appeared composed, soft-spoken and seemingly forthcoming, except when the interview swayed into the area of drugs and weapons, both of which she claims to have never seen her husband around.  She claims to know nothing about the business her husband is accused of pursuing.  But it is the way she answers the question, that will bring a smile to many viewers, tilting her head  halfway to her shoulder, and saying no,  like being caught with a hand in the cookie jar.  What was she supposed to say?  A journalist would be remiss by not asking those questions, and Coronel would be harming her husband by saying anything other than “no”.

How the couple met was explained in the BB post of yesterday, it was at a dance in Canales, a town in the state where she grew up, Durango.  It was not love at first sight she says.  Their wedding was small, with a few family and friends, all from her side, no one from Chapo’s side attended.

She says, the man she loves, is attentive, respectful, loving, and despite rumors to the contrary, he would never harm a woman, or force her into something she did not want to do.

 “He is not violent, and he is not rude, I have never heard him say a vulgar word or lose his temper.”
“He is very  intelligent, although he lacks formal education”.

Coronel’s mother, gave birth to her in San Francisco, she says her father, Ines Coronel Barreras was a bean farmer.  Her father sits in prison with her brother; both charged with drug trafficking for the Sinaloa Cartel, she says they are “innocent”.

The United States named Ines Coronel as a kingpin, thereby enabling the U.S. to freeze any assets.

Emma says she was not related to Nacho
She was asked about Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel Villarreal, one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, gunned down on July 29, 2010, in Zapopan,  thought to be her uncle, she denied  any relationship with him.

About Forbes magazine naming her husband as one of the world’s most wealthy persons, she says they have never lived a luxury life, she claims Chapo once said “Where is this money?  Do they know? Because I don’t know where it is”.

Kate Castillo and Sean Penn

Chapo wanted to make a film of his life, she says  “to tell the truth of his story, how exactly things happened in his life, his story told by him”.

When he decided to make the film, he reached out to actress Kate Castillo. 

Sean Penn told Castillo that he would like to interview El Chapo.  Castillo was the middleman for Penn in his meet with Chapo, and the subsequent interview video.  Penn wrote the piece for Rolling Stone magazine. 

It was the publishing of the video that incensed both Coronel and her husband.  In the video, Chapo states he has been in the drug business since the age of 15, and it was poverty and lack of opportunities that compelled him to do so.

Although the video was published by Penn in Rolling Stone, the copyright is held by Castillo’s film company.  Last week Castillo stated she is going ahead with the El Chapo film.

Chapo’s wife says what occurred was a betrayal.  She contends her husband had no knowledge the video would be made public.  He thought it was to assist in the writing of the article.

When asked if she was jealous of Castillo, she answered no, saying that there was nothing to be jealous about.

The arrest in Mazatlán

In 2014, she says early in the morning about 6 AM, they heard sounds as though they door was being knocked down.  When the Marina entered the room with guns drawn,  they asked “Where is Chapo?”  She claims Chapo appeared from the bathroom saying, “I am here, calm down”.

Reports at the time said, Chapo was hiding behind the bathroom door when he was found.   Coronel says US agents were involved in the capture of the capo in Mazatlan and she was also arrested.

She says her twin daughters, María Joaquina and  Emali Guadalupe and a cook were also with them when the arrest took place.

After the arrest last month, she was allowed to visit him after 3 days, and for only 15 minutes.  “He was shackled and cuffed, guards never left us alone, they stayed inches away the entire time”.  They had weapons, and wore helmets with cameras.”

She was shook up when she left the prison, Chapo told her not to worry, that things would be ok.  But she says the treatment given to her husband has caused a decline in his health, including high blood pressure, something he never had before.  He is not allowed much sleep.

The woman El Chapo Guzman calls his “Reina” (queen), promises to follow her husband to the United States if he is extradited.


 “Wherever he goes, I will follow him, I am in love with him”

  1. I feel bad for her honestly. At 18 she had no idea what she was getting into. Like the boys who choose to become halcones at 15, one bad decision changes things for the rest of their life. I think most of what she said was true but it could all be made up just so she isn't killed for making him look bad.

    1. She is sucking it up, even if it is all she knows. Beauty queen? It sounds like Ms. Universe. JonBenet Ramsey was beauty queen too. Little exaggerated to give Guzman's panic attack space and room to calculate and manipulate. His web will fall in the wrong hands He can't be that stupid though

    2. I was thinking same thing, like really "she's in love with him" lol!!! He's like what 60 something yrs old and now fat and ugly and probably needs viagra to get it up. She is too damn gorgeous to be in love with him physically, maybe financially, but surely not physically or I guess maybe she could be in love with his personality, I hear he's a charismatic one!!

    2. 11:24 Whatever. Fame? I see everything being taken due to it being linked to drug money. I see death to her if she keep putting herself in the limelight. She may as well just stay in the US and live a quiet life. Now they know she is in Mexico, what better way to settle a score with Chapo? No one is going to make a reality show for csrtels.

    3. @3:20 why not? They make narco novelas and movies. They make mob wife reality shows, why wouldn't they make it for narco wives. Anything is posible.

  3. I just wonder where the boyfriend ended up that she was dancing with when chapo wanted to dance . She just quit her boyfriend after that ? Took up with the old man she knew nothing about ? Goddamned I don't know why these chronic lying sonsofbitches get so much air time. Chapo don't have a bunch of money? He escaped from the most secure prison in Mexico through a tunnel that a rational thinking person don't even think possible but it happened . It wouldn't surprise me if a couple thousand gunman breaks him out . I hope she moves to the U.S. and lives in a big house and buys luxury cars and lives the good life . That way the U.S. can trace funds and implicate her and lock her away to .
    Chapo will plea guilty up here to get a sentence he can do and to keep some assets . If he gets up here in the U.S alive there will be some high ups fall both in the U.S. and Mexico.

    1. Here's the thing US can't do shit to this greedy bitch reason is chapo legally married still to his first wife..why he stayed married to her because what he gives greedy Emma LA cochina can't be taken away they ain't related legally so there you have it.

    2. NO HIGH UPS FALL, the high ups in with chapo keep his family safe and keep the money flowing for the cartel.
      if high ups fall so does his children and mother.
      the cartel will kill them if he messes up the money flow.

  4. Her father grew beans.Right-poppy beans!How does he know he has high blood pressure?Do they check him?If they did after he's rearrest that's not surprising from the stress.High blood pressure is not as bad as diabetic as in Dr. Mireles case.She doesn't know anything about weapons and drugs,only her own family been in the game all her life but yes probably doesn't know the specifics of who killed who and not to know for sure.

  5. So chapo was like 50 years old and she was 18 when he met her . How that fuck you can fall in love with an ald fart like chapo when you are only 18 other than because of money.

What is the rule of thumb down there ? Old enough to menstruate ? Many Mexican men are in U.S prison because they had sex with their "woman" who was 13 or 14 . Facts will help most people understand and draw their own opinion .

I am right wing, conservative, capitalist ideologist but I believe we need a revolution of some sort. This whole money/power thing is out of all control. Priorities are all wrong ... there is no humanity any more. And this bean farmer's daughter who married a peddler of misery made it onto the tv while the starving orphan child could not get any air time. So what are we going to do about it?

    2. You are so right! This story has legs until someone kills El Chapo to keep him silent by all those public officials/politicians he bribed to spare them any bad publicity and accusations of involvement! This is going to be how the story ends. it's inevitable.

    5. And the other side just says keep working and we'll make it better by giving those who don't work your money......wow.....what choices we have.....
      Like the old cartoon with the sheep dog and the coyote walking to work together....clocking in there on the tree, fighting all day and hen walking home together....
      Ita not the money that controls the people in charge....they have plenty, and they have the printer.....it's the game...it's power over others. It's the reason people like Guzman have to be made, and eventually caught and done away with. It's a cycle.
      And as far as drugs and taxes go, you should never steal or try to compete with the governments business....it'll get you in hot water...
      In the end though, I guess I'd just rather my kids...and all kids, have the chance to excell and run the trickle down to those who didn't, as opposed to us all sharing the misery equally.....eventually you run out of other people's money, and if they can't enjoy the perks that come from being rich and powerful, they quit trying...

  23. I saw the interview on the telemundo website. I believe that her answers contradict what she is trying to say. For example, the person interviewing her asks if she has any knowledge of Chapo being a drug dealer. She answered no to this question. However, towards the end of the interview they ask her "have you ever asked your husband to change his life?" And she answers that yes it has crossed her mind but that she knows it is something impossible to change. We all know he is a drug dealer, and we know she will never accept the fact. Why even do this type of interview if you are going to contradict yourself, and inadvertently admit that your husband is a big drug lord? It just makes her seem pathetic and stupid to say the least.

  27. @ Chivis
    Off topic Chivis, I was with a friend from Nuevo Laredo this weekend and he said that there's been shooting every day for the past week there. He said they sent out a notice for all civilians to stay in their houses before 12:00am or risk being picked up and tortured till they get the truth of who you really are. It said possible death also. The message was said to be from La Reina de la Pacifica and El Mayo with orders from El Chapo and the CDG. It said that CDS and CDG were in Nuevo Laredo to clean up the plaza from MugroZoZ and secuestradores. What do you know about this Chivis ? Is it safe to go to Reynosa or Nuevo Laredo right now and which CDG faction is the one with CDS? My friend also told me that Los Metros are no longer in Reynosa, who's running Reynosa right now?

The media controls what you think by only allowi g what they want you to see. Once it's aired it's taylored in a way to make to bring out the emotions the media wants you to feel, if that makes any sense at all.

  39. Emma Coronel expects to believe that her husband has nothing to do with narco trafficking of tons of cocaine and thousands of deaths that drug trafficking perpetrates. She says that with a straight face while probably laughing at society hoping the public buys the lie. Her husband has waged war against rival cartels who at times were considered the world's largest. Cartel Arrellano Felix and Cartel Carrillo Fuentes anyone. But she doesn't know anything about that. All the cartels members that have been arrested and can corroborate that they work for Chapo doesn't mean anything either. She needs a reality check and she can't patronize the public. She isn't that smart. Chapin incriminates himself claims to be the head of the world's largest drug trafficking organization. His Colombian connections nicknamed El Rapido. That's a lie also. What isn't a lie is that she consumes the same drugs he traffics and Telemundo paid her some money to do the interview. She probably shouldn't have done the interview since public relations is something that organized criminals don't do to well. alias La Reina del Guayabo

  47. I think he did what he had to do to survive!!! thats why there is so many cartels because of the amount of money that you can make. there is no jobs in many places but unfortunately there is alot of violence that goes along with that lifestyle!!! but in the end you either end up dead or in prison for the rest of your life.
