Enrique Iglesias has returned to social media, drawing attention for what he did not say rather than what he shared. The singer posted a video on his official Instagram account after several days of silence, as allegations against his father continue to dominate headlines.
Last week, Julio Iglesias faced accusations from two former employees over alleged incidents that occurred in 2021. The complaint was filed on January 5 by Women’s Link Worldwide with Spain’s National Court Prosecutor’s Office. The allegations placed renewed public focus on the Iglesias family and triggered widespread media scrutiny.
After days without public comment, Julio Iglesias issued a strong denial. In a written statement shared on his official platforms, he rejected all accusations and said he has never coerced, abused, or disrespected any woman. He described the claims as completely false and without foundation.
Family reactions followed quickly. Julio Iglesias’ wife, Miranda Rijnsburger, publicly supported him with a brief but emphatic message expressing her loyalty. However, responses within the wider family revealed clear differences in approach.

Enrique Iglesias has chosen not to release any statement or address the allegations directly. His recent Instagram post made no reference to the controversy. Observers have interpreted this silence, combined with his limited online activity, as a deliberate effort to distance himself from the situation rather than engage publicly.
The restrained response has also revived discussion of the long, complicated relationship between father and son. Enrique and Julio Iglesias reportedly went nearly a decade without speaking, highlighting a history marked by distance and unresolved tensions.
In contrast, Enrique’s older siblings, Chabeli Iglesias and Julio Iglesias Jr., have openly expressed support for their father. Their public backing stands in sharp contrast to Enrique’s silence and has underscored the differing positions within the family.
As the legal process unfolds, Enrique Iglesias appears intent on keeping his focus on his own public presence while avoiding direct involvement in the controversy. His quiet return to social media has only intensified speculation about where he stands, reinforcing the perception of distance at a moment when public attention on the Iglesias family remains intense.
