===Relationship with El Chapo===
On January 9, 2012, del Castillo publicly posted an essay on Twitter (using Twextra) discussing social issues in Mexico<ref>{{cite web |author=People en Español |url=http://www.peopleenespanol.com/article/kate-del-castillo-causa-revuelo-en-twitter |title=Kate del Castillo causa revuelo en Twitter |work=People en Español |publisher=Peopleenespanol.com |date=January 10, 2012 |access-date=March 30, 2017 |archive-date=March 17, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170317132605/http://peopleenespanol.com/article/kate-del-castillo-causa-revuelo-en-twitter/ |url-status=live }}</ref> that included controversial statements directed towards [[Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán]], the infamous head of the [[Sinaloa Cartel]]. The essay included requests to Mr. Guzmán to "deal with love, with good things" and to "[begin to] traffic in love." The most controversial portion of the essay stated: "Today I believe more in Chapo Guzmán [than in] the government that hides painful truths from me, that hides [[List of conspiracy theories#Medicine|the cure for cancer, AIDS]], etc., for their own benefit and wealth."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://aristeguinoticias.com/0901/mexico/lo-que-dijo-kate-del-castillo-sobre-el-chapo-en-aristegui-cnn-video/ |title=Lo que dijo Kate del Castillo sobre 'El Chapo', en Aristegui CNN (Video) |publisher=Aristegui Noticias |date=January 9, 2016 |access-date=March 30, 2017 |archive-date=July 31, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731031054/http://aristeguinoticias.com/0901/mexico/lo-que-dijo-kate-del-castillo-sobre-el-chapo-en-aristegui-cnn-video/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=David|last=Agren|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/10/soap-actor-kate-del-castillo-el-chapo-mexico|title=Soap actor Kate del Castillo: from Mexican starlet to drug lord's sweetheart|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|location=London, England|date=10 January 2016|access-date=30 March 2017|archive-date=January 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170126113207/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/10/soap-actor-kate-del-castillo-el-chapo-mexico|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://twextra.com/a4t17t|title=Governments are hiding the cures for cancer and AIDS|work=Twextra|date=January 9, 2012|access-date=January 9, 2012|language=es|archive-date=July 15, 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120715070100/http://twextra.com/a4t17t|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Catherine E.|last=Shoichet|url=http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/11/showbiz/mexico-actress-drug-lord/index.html|title=Mexican actress: Drug lord could be 'hero of heroes'|website=[[CNN (website)|CNN]]|publisher=[[Turner Broadcasting Systems]]|location=Atlanta, Georgia|date=January 11, 2012|access-date=January 11, 2012|archive-date=January 12, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120112034609/http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/11/showbiz/mexico-actress-drug-lord/index.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna45953714|title=Del Castillo praises Guzman in Twextra posting|website=[[NBC News|MSNBC]]|date=January 11, 2012|access-date=January 11, 2012|archive-date=April 29, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130429110846/http://www.nbcnews.com/id/45953714/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Erin|last=Carlyle|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/erincarlyle/2012/01/11/el-chapo-named-worlds-most-powerful-drug-trafficker/|title=I believe more in El Chapo Guzmán than in the governments|website=[[Forbes (website)|Forbes]]|location=New York City|date=January 11, 2012|access-date=January 11, 2012|archive-date=January 15, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120115042436/http://www.forbes.com/sites/erincarlyle/2012/01/11/el-chapo-named-worlds-most-powerful-drug-trafficker/|url-status=live}}</ref>{{excessive citations inline|date=January 2023}}

Unbeknownst to del Castillo, Guzmán was a longtime fan who harbored romantic feelings for her.

====Aftermath====
[[Sean Penn]] and Del Castillo's actions remain under investigation by the [[Attorney General of Mexico]].<ref name="El Universal" /> She was [[subpoena]]ed on January 18, 2016, and was to testify before the public prosecutor at the [[List of diplomatic missions of Mexico|Mexican Consulate]] in Los Angeles.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kate del Castillo subpoenaed by Mexican prosecutors over 'Chapo' Guzmán dealing|url=http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/entertainment/2016/01/18/kate-del-castillo-subpoenaed-by-mexican-prosecutors-over-chapo-guzman-dealings/|website=[[Fox News Latino]]|publisher=[[News Corp (2013–present)|News Corp]]|location=New York City|date=January 18, 2016|access-date=January 18, 2016|archive-date=January 19, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160119011552/http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/entertainment/2016/01/18/kate-del-castillo-subpoenaed-by-mexican-prosecutors-over-chapo-guzman-dealings/|url-status=live}}</ref> Del Castillo was originally under investigation for [[money laundering]] in relation to the planned movie about Guzmán and her [[tequila]] brand ''Honor del Castillo''.<ref>{{cite web|first=Mariano|last=Castillo|title='El Chapo' associate Kate del Castillo investigated, Mexican official says|url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/19/americas/mexico-el-chapo-kate-del-castillo-investigation/|website=[[CNN]]|publisher=[[Turner Broadcasting Systems]]|location=Atlanta, Georgia|date=January 19, 2016|access-date=January 20, 2016|archive-date=January 21, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160121205712/http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/19/americas/mexico-el-chapo-kate-del-castillo-investigation|url-status=live}}</ref> The investigation was suspended in 2017 as there was no evidence that proved that Guzmán ever paid del Castillo any money.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

On February 5, 2016, a Mexican judge granted del Castillo's petition for an injunction against any arrest related to the federal investigation into her ties with Joaquín Guzmán. The Mexican Attorney General issued a detain-and-interrogate order on del Castillo; however, that would only become effective if del Castillo set foot on Mexican soil. That order was issued after she did not heed a request to voluntarily appear before Mexican prosecutors.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mexican judge grants Del Castillo protection against arrest|url=http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/entertainment/2016/02/06/mexican-judge-grants-del-castillo-protection-against-arrest/|access-date=February 9, 2016|work=[[Fox News]]|publisher=[[News Corp (2013–present)|News Corp]]|location=New York City|date=February 6, 2016|archive-date=February 10, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160210121421/http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/entertainment/2016/02/06/mexican-judge-grants-del-castillo-protection-against-arrest/|url-status=live}}</ref>
