The fight between Laura Zapata and Thalía is far from over. This time the singer’s half sister clarified she has no interest in reconciling with her or their mother Yolanda Miranda. Zapata also argued she has no reason to envy Thalía. “*

Ante el llamado de la cantante y actriz mexicana Thalía y de su madre Yolanda Miranda para que se reunifique su familia, la actriz Laura Zapata fue contundente al declarar que no tiene intenciones de fumar la pipa de la paz.

“Desconozco esa llamada, no la he escuchado, no tengo la menor idea. Son cuestiones personales, de familia que no se ventilan en público”, comentó ante la prensa.

Reveló que el problema es de historia: “Son muchas cosas atrás que han llevado a este rompimiento y no nada más (se arregla) con decir lo que uno quiere, pues no es Navidad”, añadió sarcástica.”*

La artista mexicana Thalía y su mamá, Yolanda Miranda, hicieron un llamado público a las medias hermanas Ernestina Sodi y Laura Zapata para la reunificación de su familia.

En el programa Conexión Thalía dedicado al Día de la Madre el pasado fin de semana, la intérprete de Amor a la Mexicana le dijo a su progenitora: “ojalá que las hijas que de alguna manera están lejos de ti… desearía que se unieran, que se hablaran y que se sanaran las heridas.”*

No sooner had Laura Zapata had a car accident when rumors started flying that she had died in the crash started flying. However, in a recent interview aired on Mexican TV show La oreja (Televisa), the Mexican actress set the record straight, saying she’s doing well and even though she thought at the time that she wouldn’t live to tell the story, the accident was only a scare. “*

Laura Zapata tuvo un accidente automovilístico en una conocida vía rápida de la Ciudad de México, aunque la actriz no sufrió heridas de consideración.”*

For years Thalía and her half-sister, actress Laura Zapata, have had their share of misunderstandings. At times they’ve tried to reconcile their differences, and at other times they’ve refused to even speak to each other. Now it looks like the two are ready to smooth things over, which is why they’re speaking again and have admitted how much they miss each other. And even though Zapata, 51, blames the Mexican media for their distancing, she herself agreed to give a press conference about the latest reconciliation. “*
