I have scrupulously complied with all the company's labor conditions in the on-site work modality and have always performed tasks in a specific physical location. During the established hours and under the direct supervision of the managers.

"I am gathering the publications that have misrepresented the truth about me and reserve the right to take legal action," she warned.
