Reportedly, Shakira is in the process of filming a documentary that will shine a light on the significant changes in her life following the tumultuous split from former footballer, Gerard Pique.
Following her split, the 46-year-old Colombian singer made headlines by releasing diss tracks, including BZRP Music Session #53, where she asserted that Pique had traded a Rolex for a Casio when he left her for his 24-year-old lover, Clara Chia.
Spanish journalist Laura Fa mentioned, ‘I think it will be about the drama she’s gone through and it will be called: “The cheating and me.” It will be the [diss] song in documentary form.’
Journalist Lorena Vasquez added, ‘It’s clear Shakira is recording graphic material for an audiovisual project, a documentary or a documentary-style reality.’
‘It seems nowadays like if you’re a famous person and you haven’t got your own documentary-style reality, you’re nobody.’
Shakira was spotted with a cameraman in the back of her vehicle when she arrived at court on Monday for her tax fraud trial and filmed the moment her lawyer Pau Molins went to meet her and they chatted before heading into court.
Shakira is also said to have been recorded by two cameramen who wore Film Crew bibs as she left Barcelona’s El Prat on Wednesday to jet to Miami where she now lives
Following her trial on Monday, Shakira criticized Spanish authorities for targeting high-profile individuals after she was hit with a £6.4 million fine in addition to a £15 million tax bill for financial fraud. She insists she only pleaded guilty for the sake of her children.
The pop superstar was given a seven-figure fine as part of a deal that allowed her to avoid jail time and put an end to a lengthy fraud trial in Barcelona without it even beginning.
With a net worth of around £240 million, she maintains her innocence but stated that she made the decision to protect her children from witnessing their mother sacrificing her well-being.
‘I admire tremendously those who have fought these injustices to the end, but for me, today, winning is getting my time back for my kids and my career,’ she said in a statement.
She also criticized the Spanish authorities for pursuing her, and remarked that her case was similar to others where authorities have targeted athletes and other high-profile individuals, consuming their energy, time, and peace for extended periods.
The singer will pay £6.4 million (€7.3m) for the six tax fraud crimes she confessed to as part of the deal announced in court today, less than a third of the amount prosecutors were seeking.
She had already repaid the tax which Spanish officials had accused her of dodging – which with interest on top came to nearly £15 million (€17m).
She will also have to pay a fine of £378,000 (€432,000) to avoid prison.
Shakira and Pique parted ways in May last year after an 11-year relationship. They finalized a child custody agreement in December after a drawn-out negotiation that culminated in a marathon 12-hour meeting with their lawyers.
