Wardrobe change please, your honor? Agents for actress ask judge to nix ankle monitor

Agents for actress ask judge to nix ankle monitor

LOS ANGELES — Agents for a Mexican-born actress accused of having a sham marriage say her court-ordered ankle monitor is hurting her career.

Five agents for Fernanda Romero, who is facing a charge of marriage fraud, filed letters Tuesday to a federal judge requesting the removal of the monitor. Their reason — the bracelet clashes with her wardrobe for auditions, photo shoots and other gigs.

A hearing on whether the ankle monitor stays or goes will happen May 17 in Los Angeles.

Romero pleaded not guilty Monday to federal marriage fraud charges and could face five years in federal prison if convicted.

She has had roles in several small films, including last year’s “Drag Me to Hell,” but is better-known in Mexico, where she appeared in the TV Azteca soap “Eternamente Tuya.”
