Europa Press Junko's new life, Anabel Pantoja's stepmother who "squats" in an apartment in Seville
The most discreet stepmother of the Pantoja clan: a story of silence, controversies, and an apartment in dispute with Isabel Pantoja
Junko, the widow of Bernardo Pantoja, is at the center of one of the most recent controversies in the Pantoja clan. For years, her relationship as stepmother to Anabel Pantoja has caused much interest in the media. However, after the loss of her husband, Junko has experienced a life change that has surprised everyone.
Her new life as an "occupant" in an apartment of Isabel Pantoja and her cold indifference toward the situation Anabel Pantoja is going through have caused a stir. Who is Junko really, and what are the motives behind her attitude?
Junko's New Life, Anabel Pantoja's Stepmother
Junko, publicly known as the last partner of Bernardo Pantoja, is of Japanese origin and came to Spain motivated by her passion for flamenco. During her early years in the country, she worked as a dancer. She stood out for her ability to fuse Japanese grace with the intensity of Spanish arts.
Her talent led her to be recognized in her field, but her career changed when she met Bernardo. The discreet brother of Isabel Pantoja always stayed away from the spotlight despite the clan's fame. It was this same attitude that Junko adopted after becoming involved with him.
After their relationship, she left dancing and began a career as a flamenco dress designer. Although it's unknown if she is still working in this field, her life has remained out of the media spotlight.
Since Bernardo's passing in November 2022, Junko has been trying to stay out of the media. However, she has caused too much attention due to her stay in the Seville apartment she shared with Bernardo Pantoja.
In fact, the situation has been so tense that she has been seen uncomfortable on several occasions. So much so, that recently, she had a most striking attitude with the cameras. Junko, surprised everyone by being seen photographing journalists from her house's terrace, an unprecedented situation.
Silence Regarding Anabel Pantoja's Situation
Anabel Pantoja is going through an especially delicate moment due to the hospitalization of her daughter Alma, just 50 days old. The little one is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Maternal and Child Hospital of Gran Canaria. While the rest of the clan has shown their support by traveling to Las Palmas, Junko has chosen to remain in absolute silence.
Recently, Junko was caught on camera when leaving her home in Seville. With a scarf covering her face, she avoided answering questions about Anabel and her daughter's situation. This gesture, interpreted by many as coldness, has intensified speculations about a possible enmity between the two.
The relationship between Junko and Anabel has always been a subject of rumors. Although the influencer clarified that she was grateful for the care Junko provided to her father in his last days, there is no evidence that they maintain contact after his passing.
The Controversy with Isabel Pantoja's Apartment
The apartment where Junko currently resides is a property that Isabel Pantoja seeks to sell to settle her debts. According to journalist Paloma García-Pelayo, Isabel has sent several registered letters notifying the sale, but Junko hasn't picked them up. The situation has caused a legal conflict that could be prolonged if no agreement is reached.
Junko is not a conventional "occupant"; as Bernardo's widow, she had shared the property with him until his passing. However, the ownership of the property falls to Isabel Pantoja, who acquired it after an agreement among the clan's heirs. Despite this, Junko's refusal to leave the home complicates the sale plans.
Recently, witnesses saw a friend of Junko entering the apartment with a bag of prepared food. This detail, although insignificant, reflects Junko's strategy to stay inside the residence, possibly under legal advice. Meanwhile, Isabel Pantoja faces the challenge of finding a solution to this seemingly endless situation.
The dispute also highlights the family ties and unsolved tensions within the Pantoja clan. For Isabel, resolving this conflict could mean a step toward financial stability. However, for Junko, the situation involves a difficult decision that could affect her future.
Junko's story and her relationship with the Pantoja clan continue to generate controversies. Her stance on Anabel Pantoja's crisis and her stay in the Seville apartment reflect a complex reality marked by silences and legal disputes. Could this be the turning point that triggers a change in this family dynamic?
