Selena Quintanilla’s Father Sues Cruise Company Over ‘Unauthorized’ Selena Tribute Trip

Selena Quintanilla’s Father Sues Cruise Company Over ‘Unauthorized’ Selena Tribute Trip

Selena Quintanilla‘s father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., is suing Los Angeles-based Catalina Classic Cruises over an “unauthorized” live tribute in honor of the late Tejano star.

According to the lawsuit, filed Monday (July 10) in the Central District of California, Selena’s father claims that the company “engaged in the unauthorized and unlawful promotion, marketing, and sale of services and/or merchandise through or containing the name, identity, image, and depicted likeness of Selena and registered [trademark].”

Furthermore, Quintanilla — who is the registered rights holder to Selena’s trademarks, name and likeness in connection to merchandise and advertising — claims that since November, Catalina Classic Cruises has promoted the trips using Selena’s likeness without ever getting permission to use her name. He’s seeking any profits made by the company while using the late singer’s name.

On June 3, according to a now-deleted flyer posted on Facebook, a cumbia-themed four-hour evening cruise across Long Beach Bay featured a performance titled “Live! Tributo a Selena.” According to the lawsuit, Catalina Classic Cruises has received a letter demanding that the defendant “cease and desist any future use” of Selena’s name.

Selena, “La Reina del Tex-Mex” (Queen of Tejano), single-handedly revolutionized the genre by fusing her Mexican roots with bold new sounds. On the Billboard charts, seven of her studio albums hit No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart, including Amor Prohibido (1994), which spent 20 weeks there, and Dreaming of You (released posthumously in 1995), which spent 44 weeks atop the tally. The latter set made history as the first predominately Spanish-language album to debut at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.

Billboard reached out to Catalina Classic Cruises but did not hear back by press time.

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Disney has announced a successor to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, effective in March. Josh D�Amaro, current chairman of Disney Experiences, was tapped for the role in a unanimous vote by the company's board of directors.

D�Amaro has been at Disney for 28 years, where he oversaw theme parks, cruises and consumer products including video games. The company had previously appointed Bob Chapek, the Disney Parks chairman at the time, as successor to Bob Iger in 2020. At the time, Iger had served as CEO since 2005. But Chapek only lasted until 2022, when Bob Iger returned to take the helm once again amid company struggles. Disney formed a committee to find an appropriate successor in 2023, with Iger mentoring potential candidates along the way.

I met some people involved in the campaign at Downing Street last night,they've been talking about this campaign for 20 years as part of our national cancer plan. "The problem for them was that travelling is one of those additional worries on top of the already shocking diagnosis when you have a child with with cancer, about 9,500 families are affected by this, and help with those travel costs mean that some people have told us that they are making real, difficult choices about other support to their families, including good food and support to their families, so making sure that those travel costs are covered takes a little bit of the worry off of families at that particularly troubling time."WATCH ABOVE.
