Niurka Marcos accuses Galilea Montijo of practicing Santería

Niurka Marcos has accused television host Galilea Montijo of secretly practicing Santería and wishing her ill. During an appearance on the podcast ‘El Grito de la Llorona’, Marcos claimed that Montijo hides her Yoruba religious beliefs due to fear of public backlash and ‘hate’.

Marcos further alleged a spiritual connection between Montijo’s actions and a personal loss, stating, ‘Galilea Montijo wished me harm, and her godfather (santero) died... what she wished upon me.’ Marcos suggested that denying one's deities to society carries spiritual consequences, asserting that one cannot benefit from spiritual power while being ashamed of it. No independent evidence has been provided to confirm the relationship between these events or Montijo's religious practices.
