Months later, on April 6, 1991, another crisis unfolded: Avellanet, Torres, Aguilera, and Montenegro announced their departure from the group due to physical, psychological, and emotional abuse.[7][8] AlthoughEdgardo Díaz, Menudo's manager, denied the allegations, management decided to replace them with new members:Alexis Grullón,Abel Talamántez,Andy Blázquez, andAshley Ruiz, in an attempt to stabilize the group.[9]
