The star commemorating Jenni Rivera’s legacy was found vandalized with black paint on Monday morning, just two weeks after its installation on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On June 27, Jenni Rivera was honored with the 2,783rd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This star, featuring her name inscribed in bronze, was meant to celebrate her career and artistic achievements. However, on Monday, July 8, the star was completely covered in black paint.

The vandalism was reported on the ‘Hollywood Walk of Fame’ Instagram account, highlighting that it was fans of the late Diva de la Banda who first noticed and reported the damage. “This morning, fans reported that Jenni Rivera’s star has been vandalized. This is unacceptable!” the Hollywood Walk of Fame organization stated in a message on X.

The perpetrators behind this act of vandalism remain unknown at this time.
