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”.

The controversy began in early February, when the golden scorpion asked Pati Chapoy about the origin of his estrangement from Yuridia. Without going into details, the journalist explained that perhaps the interpreter of what agony would have vetoed windowing several years ago for some fatphobic comments that were made both by her and by other presenters of the entertainment program.

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. In general, he assured that he currently has no problems with Pati Chapoy, Daniel Bisogno or Pedrito Solabut more than ten years ago, his derogatory comments affected his daily life and the consequences were so serious that he even considered taking his own life.

They take the things they say and do to people very lightly.They believe that when they talk about a person or say such a person is like that or did this and the other, that nothing else stays there in the news… no, because they have influence over people and people in the street came to me and they mistreated me too, they yelled at me, against my father, my mother and even my grandmother, may she rest in peace,” she said in ICT Tac.

Yuridia was sheltered from her fans and other artists such as Damn Paula -who was also harshly criticized for her body- or Myriam Montemayor and Tonita, who put their differences aside to support her. But they weren’t the only former academics talking about it, as were Jolette.

But that’s not all, other representatives of Mexican music have been asked about it in their recent interactions with the media, such as Ana Barbara and Eden Munoz. It was during an interview that the former member of Caliber 50 For Firsthand where she stood up for her colleague and friend.

Social media users have denounced other presenters such as Andrea Escalona and Gustavo Adolfo Infante because at the time they also made derogatory comments towards the former academic. (Instagram photos: @gainfante // @andy_escalona // @chapoypati // @yuridia)

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”.

Finally, Edén Muñoz said that she was working hand in hand with Yuridia to launch the second part of Pa’ then it’s latebut he feels a little worried that they have to finish it before the ex-college welcomes his second baby: “(Her pregnancy) is something that makes me very happy, but at the same time it also puts pressure on me because we have little time”.
