A fourth lawsuit will be filed against the son of musician Ramon Ayala and his band, according to an attorney.

As previously reported, three former band members accused Ramon Ayala Jr. of sexually assaulting and harassing them multiple times while the band was touring from 2024 to 2025.

Ayala Jr. regularly consumed cocaine and alcohol while on the tour bus and frequently exposed his genitals and walked around in the tour bus in "a state of undress and performed sexually suggestive acts toward subordinates,” the lawsuits added.

The lawsuits name Ramon Ayala Jr., his father, and the band Ramón Ayala y Sus Bravos del Norte. The lawsuits name Ayala and his band and accuse him of enabling his son’s behavior.

"We brought this case seeking justice; we have the receipts and the proof. I’m counting on the Hidalgo County District Attorney to act. We are asking for action, an investigation, "attorney Tony Buzbee said during a Wednesday press conference.

At a Wednesday press conference, one of the defendants discussed his experience, and a statement from another former crew member previously identified as a photographer was also read.

"People should not be treated like dogs; that’s how I was treated. I refuse to let this define my worth or silence my truth,"  the photographer said. "What he’s done to me is far more serious than any musical legacy."

The other defendant, a 42-year-old man identified as Eluid Gonzalez, said he idolized Ramon Ayala and dreamed of performing with him. He said he joined the band as a bassist in 2025.

"Since I got there, I was threatened, abused, and mistreated by his son. Everyone saw this, and no one did anything out of fear of losing their job. His conduct was aggressive and out of control," Gonzalez said. "I came to speak my truth so no one has to go through like this again."

Buzbee also showed videos that he said showed Ayala Jr. in the nude, sniffing a substance, and touching another man's buttocks area.

Shortly after the Buzbee Law Firm announced the press conference, attorneys for Ayala Sr. held a press conference to respond to what they described as Buzbee's “media assault designed to intimidate, harass, and coerce Ayala into a settlement of three frivolous civil lawsuits filed.”

The attorneys representing Ramon Ayala Jr. and his father claim they had spoken to Gonzalez in a recorded interview for the lawsuit investigation. The recording was played during the press conference held by the Ayalas’ legal team.

In the recording, Gonzalez is heard answering "no" when asked if he’d ever seen Ayala Jr. physically or sexually abusing anyone. 

During that press conference, Ayala Sr. was seen wiping away tears and staring out a window. His attorney claims he should not be listed in any of the lawsuits, which he referred to as a "shakedown."

Ayala Jr.'s attorney, Jeff Lehrman, said his client denied all the accusations in the lawsuits.

"It's characterized as the movie Jackass, men on a tour bus engaging in behavior that men might do traveling thousands of miles across the country," Lehrman said.

Buzbee says the behavior on the bus is sexual assault.

"When your boss, the man who pays you at the end of the tour, who signs your check and pays you in cash, waits until you are asleep and puts his penis in your face, that is not horseplay," Buzbee said.  "That is not horseplay, that is not frivolous, that's outrageous, and unacceptable conduct by any person."
