Dolores Janney "Jenny" Rivera Saavedra (July 2, 1969 – December 9, 2012) was an American singer, actor, television producer, and entrepreneur known for her work in the style of Banda, Mariachi, and Norte'o.

Many media outlets, including CNN, Billboard, Fox News, and The New York Times, have ranked her as the most influential female figure and top-selling female artist in Mexican music, including CNN, Billboard, Fox News, and The New York Times.

She was named in Billboard's "Top Latin artist of 2013" and as the "best selling Latin artist of 2013." Rivera began recording in 1992.

Social problems, infidelity, and marital life were often embedded in her recordings.

Rivera's first studio album, Si Quieres Verme Llorar, debuted in the late 1990s, but with her debut, Parrandera, Rebelde y Atrevida, she rose to fame in the United States and Mexico.

She was often chastised and refused tickets to many venues around California for playing Banda music, a male-dominated music genre.

Personal life

Rivera was married three times and had five children. While still in high school, she gave birth to her first child, Janney, better known as Chiquis (born 1985). She and her baby's father, José Trinidad Marn, had two more children: Jacqueline (1989) and Michael (born 1991), but she ended the marriage in 1992 after citing physical and emotional abuse. Rosie, Jenni's older sister, admitted that her younger sister Rosie suffered sexually molest her in 1997, and she was now doing the same to Chiquis. He'd done the same with Jacqie, according to a physical examination. The molestation lawsuit was started in 1997 and Marn spent nine years as a criminal before being arrested in April 2006, charged of sexual assault and rape and sentenced to more than 31 years in jail without parole.

In 1997, Rivera married Juan López, her second husband. They had daughter Jenicka in 1997 and son Juan Angel in 2001 before divorced in 2003. López was found guilty of selling opioids in 2007. While in jail in 2009, he died from respiratory problems.

Esteban Loaiza, a married baseball player, was a member of Rivera in 2010. They applied for divorce in 2012 just months before her death, but it was never decided.

Rivera was named spokeswoman for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence on August 6, 2010. The Los Angeles City Council awarded a proclamation on August 6 for all her charity work and community service. Rivera was a Roman Catholic. Pedro Rivera Jr., the Primer Amor Church in Whittier, California, is the pastor of the Primer Amor Church.

Rivera was arrested after a concert in Raleigh, North Carolina, for reportedly striking a fan. Univisión reported it in June 2008. According to accounts, the incident occurred after Rivera was struck on her right leg with a beer can that was thrown by someone in the crowd. The perpetrator was reportedly assaulting him physically and verbally on stage, and Rivera made him come on stage. The fan called the cops after the altercation, and Rivera was arrested after wrapping up the show. Rivera was detained for a few hours, but then released shortly after paying $3,000 in bail.

A sex video starring Rivera began circulating in October 2008.

Laura Lucio, Rivera's estate, has filed a copyright lawsuit against her former boss Laura Lucio. The plaintiffs have requested that a judge order law enforcement agents to confiscate Rivera's books and interviews from Lucio in order to ensure that she will not use them for a book project. Lucio filed a lawsuit in January 2014 claiming that Rivera's estate published a biography of Rivera from the writings and interviews she helped put together before Rivera died. Mi Vida Loca, a book by Lucio, was shelved after Rivera's death, but she later published Unbreakable: My Way, My Way without her permission. Rivera's estate was eventually transferred from state court to federal court, but U.S. District Judge George Wu granted Lucio's request to have the case transferred back to state court in September 2014. The materials and Rivera's estate are now legally owned by the rightful owners of them, according to their aunt. "Defendant also falsely identified herself as the author of these copyrighted works, created by Jenni Rivera and/or acquired by Jenni Rivera Enterprises in a registration of a book entitled Jenni Rivera Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life), as told to Laura Lucio of the Writer's Guild of America's Intellectual Property Registry. In September 2015, Rivera's Estate and Lucio settled the lawsuit outside of court. The terms of the deal are not disclosed.

The estate of Rivera sued the plane's operators on December 9, 2014. Starwood Management Inc., which operated the Learjet 25 jet that crashed in northern Mexico after plunging more than 28,000 feet, was charged with negligence. In the lawsuit, the charges are also brought against the aircraft's operators, Bombardier Inc. and Learjet Inc. Rivera's parents and five of her children are plaintiffs. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages on their behalf. Rivera's estate has been sued alongside Starwood by relatives of those killed in the disaster, including her counsel, hairstylist, publicist, and one of the plane's pilots.

Jenni Rivera Career

Life and career

Rivera was born in Long Beach, California, and she was raised in Rosa Saavedra and Pedro Rivera, both Mexican. Rivera and her siblings and four brothers were raised in a tight-knit, musical household, and her brother Lupillo is also a regional Mexican musician. Rivera fluently spoke both English and Spanish. Her family introduced her to traditional Mexican music, including those of banda, nortea, and ranchera. Rivera never earned a straight A's in education until her sophomore year, when she became pregnant with the first of her five children, Janney "Chiquis" Marn-Rivera. She helped the two of them by selling CDs in flea markets, while still focusing on her GED at a continuation school and graduating as a class valedictorian. Rivera shared the following quotes from her experiences as a teenage mother in 2003:

She attended Long Beach City College and obtained a degree in business administration as well as worked in real estate before going to work for her father's record label. Her father, a bartender and businessman who founded the brand Cintas Acuario in 1988, which launched the career of Mexican singer and songwriter Chalino Sánchez.

Rivera was introduced to music in 1992 as a Father's Day tribute to her father; she released more albums and joined Capitol/EMI's Latin division. "Somos Rivera" ("We Are Rivera"), her first album, was released in 1992.

She was told several times that she did not make it into her career at the start of her musical career. The genre known as regional Mexican music at the time and now is dominated by males. "It was hard knocking on those doors to get my music playing," she said in a 2011 interview with Billboard magazine. One radio presenter in Los Angeles, the cruelest uncle of a bitch, threw my CD in the trash right in front of my face." Those were the problems Rivera faced as a female trying to navigate the Mexican tradition. During this period, La Maestra, Poco a Poco, Por Un Amor, La Chacalosa, and Adios a Selena were released separately, the former being a tribute album to Tejano music singer Selena, who was assassinated in 1995.

Rivera released her first commercial album with Fonovisa in 1993, Sony Music in the late 1990s, and then with Fonovisa Records in 1999; the local hit "Las Malandrinas" was released in the same year. Rivera wrote "Las Malandrinas" to pay tribute to her female followers. "The song blew up," she said. People became involved. Jenni Rivera, the artist, was born in 1997.

She first received her first Latin Grammy nomination for Best Banda Album in 2001, Dejate Amar and Se las Voy a Dar a Otro. In 2003, she became the first American-born artist to be nominated for the award. Homenaje a Las Grandes, (in English, "Homage to the Great Ones"), was a tribute album to female Mexican singers released in 2003.

Simplemente La Mejor, La Mejor, her first compilation album, detonated a chart in the United States, in 2004.

Parrandera, Rebelde y Atrevida, was released in 2005 and reached No. 10 in the United States, gaining more success. Billboard Top Latin Albums chart No. 10 is ranked ten on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.

At the 2008 Latin Billboard Music Awards, the album received an award for Regional Mexican Album of the Year. "It was more of Jenni telling her story through music," she said in a 2011 interview with Billboard magazine. My life has been so portrayed by the media that I decided that I might as well put it out there myself, both in my own words and through my music. I wanted to ban rumors about my personal life.' Rivera has also been named as the Year of the Year by the album's first Lo Nuestro Award for Regional Mexican Female Artist of the Year, an award that will continue to dominate for the remainder of her life. La Diva en Vivo, a live album that featured songs from a mariachi band, earned her second Latin Grammy nomination for Best Ranchero Album this year.

In the United States, 2nd on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. Rivera said in a chat that the album was very exciting and that it had a positive influence on her career. She said she wanted to grow as an artist, and if a listener to mariachi find a good album that is worth buying, she said she would continue to grow as an artist. She went on to say that there are certain nationalities that will listen to mariachi, not banda. Those were the people she was going after. "Commercializing a ranchera album is much more difficult," she said. In a long time, there had not been a great female mariachi artist. It was a big risk, but it was a risk I was able to take. La Gran Seora's album of 2010 became the most best-selling [regional Mexican] album."
