WHY WE HATE YOLANDA SALDIVAR

Here is the "cliff notes version" because I could go on forever.

Yolanda cleverly wiggled herself into the life of Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla-Perez by first contacting Selena's father to propose the idea of starting a fan club for Selena. With his permission, Yolanda launched the fan club and successfully grew its membership to over 5,000 people. This kept her in close quarters with Selena, and over time, she earned her trust. As they grew closer, Yolanda was promoted to manage Selena's clothing boutiques and financial accounts.

Over time, the family started to realize Yolanda was not a good person. She became jealous of how Selena spent her time, especially if it was away from Yolanda.  Selena's father soon realized she was pocketing fan club memberships and not sending out merchandise.

Selena was going to fire Yolanda but Yolanda had important documents the family needed. Finally, Yolanda agreed to meet up with Selena. The two met at the hotel Yolanda stayed in on March 31, 1995. After an argument about the documents, they were eventually handed over to Selena. When Selena turned to leave, Yolanda shot Selena in the back at a Days Inn in Corpus Christi, TX.

YOLANDA SALDIVAR'S PAROLE

Yolanda Saldivar was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 30 years after the murder of Selena Quintanilla. When the sentence was first set, 30 years felt like a lifetime but now here we are. On March 30, 2025, Yolanda will be eligible for parole.
