Enzo Aguilar and Edith Hermida Discuss the Scandal of Beto Casella and Joe Fernández
Enzo Aguilar and Edith Hermida commented on the recent scandal involving homophobic remarks made by Joe Fernández regarding a dancer from the Teatro Colón.
Last week on the show 'Nadie nos para,' Joe Fernández made a series of homophobic comments about Valentín Freso, a renowned dancer from the Teatro Colón. This sparked immediate backlash, with both the dancer and Julio Bocca, the director of the Ballet Estable at the institution, publicly responding to the remarks. The fallout drew condemnation from many within the entertainment industry, who criticized Fernández and the show's host, Beto Casella, for their comments. Recently, fellow cast members Enzo Aguilar and Edith Hermida shared their thoughts on the controversy surrounding the comments. Aguilar's remarks aimed to address the implications of public figures making such statements, emphasizing the impact they have not only on the individuals targeted but also on the broader societal attitudes towards LGBTQ+ communities. Hermida echoed this sentiment, highlighting the necessity for sensitivity and understanding in media commentary. The incident underlines the continuing challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Argentina and the importance of accountability for public figures. As conversations surrounding equality and respect for diversity become more prevalent, such controversies serve as reminders of the work still needed to combat discrimination and promote inclusivity in the entertainment industry and society at large.
