Jenni Rivera Autobiography ‘Unbreakable: My Story, My Way’ Reveals Shocking History Of Abuse, Rape

Jenni Rivera’s shockingly honest autobiography, Unbreakable: My Story, My Way, was released June 2 – what would have been the singer’s 44th birthday – and has secured the number two spot on Amazon’s bestseller list.

The autobiography, which chronicles Rivera’s life, including her struggle with depression and eventual rise to fame as a Latin pop star, opens with a harrowing account of the rape that haunted her until her death last year. The rape reportedly occurred after the filming of her first music video, La Chacalosa, on the side of the road on a California highway. This is not the only abuse Rivera endured – she was reportedly abused by her first husband, Trino Marin, who was also convicted of abusing Rivera’s daughters and Rivera’s younger sister, Rosy.

Throughout her book, Rivera continued to reveal intimate details of her life, including secrets she had kept from those closest to her — her family.

“There’s things in this book that I didn’t even know. I didn’t know that my mom was raped more than once,” said Chiquis Rivera, her daughter, on The View when she acted as a guest-host July 9.

Jenni and her daughter starred together in a reality television show I Love Jenni, which centers around Jenni’s family. The show is currently in the middle of its third season, airing on mun2.

Unbreakable comes only seven months after Jenni’s tragic death, and includes photos, manuscripts, and diary excerpts.
