Yuridia broke the silence about the tumultuous past he lived through at the start of his career by criticizing his personality and his physical appearance. The ex-university recounted his experience without imagining that it would be setting a precedent for other artists to dare to raise their voices against the derogatory remarks that communicators usually launch against them; a practice that for many years was considered “a normal thing that comes with being famous”.

Former academics have opened up about their experience with “Ventaneando”
The controversy began in early February, when the golden scorpion asked Pati Chapoy about the origin of his estrangement from Yuridia.

His statements were the straw that broke the camel’s back, as the Sonorian turned to her social networks to give her version of the facts.

I applaud Yuri a lot, I think it was very brave of him. That’s what helps a lot, whether it happens again in other women, in men or whatever name you want to give it, that people talk, that they express themselves and that they say: “I’m already tired of being told that to me” and period. You will see a claim for the second part, but it is good to set limits. I think she did pretty well, for what she is, a lady.
The also music producer reflected on the importance of instilling values in new generations to avoid repeating similar situations:
“Far from Yuridia, far from you, whoever, her or me, I think what is needed as a society is to be more empathetic and teach new generations what the word empathy means because suddenly mockery is confused with harassment, there are times when we make fun of our friends because of the mask, but harassment is already more bastard”.
