Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s beauty-queen wife Emma Coronel Aispuro could become an American TV star.
Discovery honcho Henry Schleiff is in talks with her reps to greenlight a show called “Stand by Your Con” — about women and the fugitives they love.
“Ideally, they would love for her to host and help produce it in order to make it more appealing to an international audience,” said an insider. But, “They’re trying to be sensitive to [her] relationship,” the source added, “given she’s reportedly the daughter of deceased drug kingpin Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Coronel Villareal . . . a key member of the Sinaloa cartel and one of El Chapo’s right-hand men.”
Schleiff started talking to Aispuro’s team a few weeks ago, we hear, after reading an interview in which she said drug king El Chapo is in danger behind bars, and learning she’s agreed to be in a Telemundo special.
Producers of the proposed show are also angling to reach out to members of the Charles Manson Family and Mark David Chapman’s wife, Gloria Abe. The show would air on Investigation Discovery.
