The 29-year-old, ex-beauty queen wife of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, Emma Coronel Aispuro, made her first public statement since the infamous drug dealer husband was found guilty.
Coronel posted to her Instagram story a meme image of the beloved Muppet character, Kermit the Frog, labeled ‘I’ as in herself, lying on a bed with a Spanish caption, according to the NY Post.
‘You no longer go out, do not send messages or call anyone,’ reads the text in Spanish. ‘What are you doing in your house that is so important??’

Then, on Friday night, she passed along a meme warning parents about the Momo challenge, the viral challenge that allegedly encourages kids to add a contact on WhatsApp who will then hound them with violent images and dares – the last one being for the child to commit suicide.
The post encourages one to follow some recommendations to avoid the Momo Challenge by detecting any behavioral changes in children and paying attention to internet connection times.
Accompanying the warning is the bizarre face of the doll-like, bird woman, also known as Momo, that is causing the online panic.
