UPDATED DEC 13, 2018

Selena Quintanilla-Perez was an American singer who shot to fame as a member of the group Selena y Los Dinos. She later launched her solo career in both English and Spanish. Abraham Quintanilla Jr., her father and manager, appointed Yolanda Saldivar as the president of his daughter's fan club in 1991 after the woman had repeatedly asked for permission to start one. Saldivar was promoted to manager of the Latina singer's boutiques in January 1994. Soon after, Selena's employees, fashion designer, and cousin started complaining about the woman's management skills. In January 1995, Abraham started getting phone calls and letters from furious fans who had sent their membership payments and had not received anything in return.
