Jenni Rivera Piñatas Cause Outrage Among Singer's Family

Jenni Rivera Piñata Controversy

The Jenni Rivera piñatas have caused anger among the singer’s family and outrage the fans. The candy filled party favor sport Jenni’s style of loose locks, short skirts and heels.

According to the Latin Times, Roberto Martínez, the piñata maker who lives in California, said in an interview with TV show “El Gordo y la Flaca” that ever since he started making them he’s received many requests from fans, who are willing to pay from $200 to $300 for a piñata. “It all started when fans started requesting something to remember her, and someone came up with the idea of a Jenni Rivera piñata,” said the creator of this controversial party amusement.

He added that everything he does is with respect and that it’s an art. “This piñata is harder to make because you have to mold it. I see it as a way of respecting and honoring her memory because she just died, and I’m aware that we use piñatas to beat them with sticks and break them, but I see it differently. It’s an art. It can be seen as a statue that you can have in your bedroom or a memory of her,” he said.
