, during the singer's ''Confessions'' Tour. The pair were seated in the front row, with Méndez being the only person seated due to an apparent knee injury. When Méndez could not stand up with everyone else, Madonna allegedly began to forcefully gesture at her to stand. Méndez pointed to her knee to show the singer that she could not stand easily. Reportedly, Madonna grew so irate that she asked security guards to tell her that she had to stand up, to which Lucia shouted, "I'm going to call my lawyer!" Madonna allegedly responded with "Fuck you!" However, this report has not been validated by any parties besides Méndez herself. This anecdote was a source of ridicule and mockery of Méndez in social networks. It was considered that she was exaggerating and that she had invented the story. The publication on TikTok of a Madonna concert in Los Angeles, in which she showed her displeasure because the spectators in the first rows did not get up to dance, could support the thesis of the Mexican actress.
