Yolanda Salvidar was appointed as the manager of Selena’s boutique, became her close friend, and also served as the president of her fan club. However, grave mismanagement was reported in terms of how Yolanda behaved with the staff and handled the finances. Other workers of the boutique had complained to Selena, but she had reportedly waved them off. Since the singer did not consider their concerns, the workers approached Abraham.
