During her music school, a distant relative exploited her mother’s trust to molest her. She added,

“He was family, but not close family. He was in a position of power because my mother had put me in his music school and he immediately started telling her how talented I was and how I needed special attention, and she felt lucky that he was focusing this kind of attention on me,”

Gloria was unable to stop him as the man threatened to kill her mother if she said anything about the abuse to her mother. She believed that the man was capable of hurting her mother as he was mad.

Due to the amount of anxiety and trauma, she lost chunks of her hair. Estefan told her mother what was happening to her who later went to the police. But they were advised to not press charges on the man as Gloria would have to go through a lot of trauma.
