Kate del Castillo claims Sean Penn used her as ‘bait’ to meet El Chapo

Actress Kate del Castillo is calling actor Sean Penn’s 2016 Rolling Stone article about El Chapo “full of s —” after she helped arrange his meeting with the Mexican drug cartel leader at great personal cost.

Appearing Wednesday on “Red Table Talk: The Estefans,” Del Castillo told her side of the story behind Penn’s bombshell interview with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, which she translated after persuading the Sinaloa cartel boss to meet with the movie star during the former’s 2015 prison break.

“Suddenly, Sean starts saying, ‘Tell him that I want to interview him for Rolling Stone magazine,’” Del Castillo told Gloria, Lili and Emily Estefan. “I was just like, ‘Wait, this was not on the script.’ … I cannot do a face because [Guzman is] gonna notice that something’s wrong. He’s gonna pick up on it, and [Penn is] gonna be dead in just a blink of my eye.”

After Penn’s account of the encounter landed in Rolling Stone, Del Castillo said she “never talked to him again” and was “totally destroyed,” accusing the “Mystic River” star of fabricating a scene from the piece in which Mexican soldiers confronted him, Del Castillo and two producers at a military checkpoint and then let them pass upon recognizing their companion, Guzman’s son, Alfredo Guzmán.

“It’s not true!” Del Castillo said. “He just put it there to sparkle a little bit, his stupid story. There was never a checkpoint. I hated him for that, but that’s why his article was full of s —.” – Source
