Alexítico sues Leo Rey over offensive remarks
Alexítico has filed a complaint against Leo Rey over remarks he says were insulting.
The two musicians were members of the Chilean cumbia group La Noche and have had a dispute for years.
The complaint seeks a conviction over a phrase Leo Rey used on a television program and allegedly repeated at a public event.
Alexítico is seeking 540 days in prison and a fine, but the complaint is not a finding of guilt.
His stage name combines “Alexis” with “alexitímico,” a term for someone who cannot recognize or express their emotions; the name was adopted ironically or as a stylistic choice.
A Santiago court has accepted the complaint, and a hearing is scheduled for November 10, where the two sides may have the chance to reach an agreement before any trial.
Alexítico has filed a legal complaint against former La Noche bandmate Leo Rey over remarks he says were offensive.
The Fourth Guarantee Court of Santiago admitted the complaint, which alleges serious insult through publicity.
The complaint seeks 540 days of minor imprisonment and a fine of 20 monthly tax units for Leo Rey.
A hearing is scheduled for 10 November at the Santiago Justice Center, where the parties may first have the chance to reach an agreement.
The dispute has also brought attention to the origin of Alexítico’s stage name, a blend of “Alexis” and the clinical term “alexithymic.”

He has to suck it really well first. (laughter) But really well... Suck it. Really well.
It is the use of a means of communication to organise and disseminate an act of personal mockery with no argumentative content, whose sole purpose was to publicly ridicule the complainant.
These are not incidental terms spoken in the context of an argument, but an uninterrupted succession of offensive expressions directed against the complainant personally.
