When an ACTOR (thus, in capital letters) has to explain to them the difference between a character and himself is that they really are not very bright. https://t.co/i9MLV0kZ1n

Gabriela Plates received in response comments such as: “Brozo may be the biggest and best known bully and sexist in Mexico, but is he just a character like that would be this logic or how would it be?”, “Very actor but used your female partners in his programs to do things that are not pleasing to you women, “we know the difference, but it turns out that Victor Trujillo wrote the scripts of his character or accepted them, where Brozo promoted the reification of women. that Victor takes responsibility q touches him and apologizes. As nefarious as that of Felix SM as that of Brozo and Victor T “.
The thread of this tweet is long and continues to grow, by the time of this post, the actress had already responded to much of her followers, those who do not read very pleased before her personal opinion.
Well, if they can’t distinguish a raped woman from a woman who was voluntarily hired to appear on a TV show, how are they going to distinguish a rapist with multiple actor allegations by making a character?

Nah, the serious thing is NOT that a candidate for governor of a state has several allegations of rape. The “serious” is what I tweet. ♀️ https://t.co/95rNBISTEC

Many were the offenses written by social network users to the Mexican actress, several of them out of tune and lack of respect for his personal life, not just work.
Do you fall for them? Are these your attacks? From a trans woman? And I get them to say that it’s not the same a VIOLATION to go out on a satire show on TV? Hopefully they never have to go through a rape to understand the difference. https://t.co/NEUmwBmSSC
