During her interview on “Ponte en la Cola,” Peruvian actress Hany Portocarrero, known for her role as Lucía Méndez in the biographical series “Sin querer queriendo,” addressed the potential lawsuit that Florinda Meza is considering against the HBO Max production depicting the life of Roberto Gómez Bolaños, popularly known as “Chespirito.”
In response to comments made by Ricardo Rondón, who mentioned that “Florinda Meza feels humiliated and hurt” by the series’ content, Portocarrero expressed her perspective, stating, “In my opinion, we are seeing the story as it really was; there was indeed a relationship between the two, and nothing is being invented.”
She emphasized that Meza has every right to pursue legal action and that her reactions on social media are valid, saying, “It’s entirely respectable for her to voice her opinion.”
Actor Germán Loero also shared his thoughts on the importance of narrative approach, commenting, “There are situations that are romanticized because the storyline requires it,” and added, “A large production like that of Chespirito needs to be careful.”
Discussing the impact and legacy of the Mexican comedian, Loero pointed out, “There has never been a program in Mexico as successful as that of Chespirito,” highlighting the series’ intention to humanize the characters: “We are seeing human beings.”
The discussion raises questions about the fairness of the series’ portrayal of historical figures. For viewers interested in this topic, more details about this ongoing conversation can be found on “Ponte en la Cola.”
