Mariana Seoane has recently re-engaged with the press following her controversial comments regarding the relationship between Susana Zabaleta and Ricardo Pérez. She suggested that Zabaleta financially supports Pérez, a remark that sparked significant backlash.
Responding to the fallout, Seoane acknowledged her mistake in speaking about the romance without fully understanding the situation and issued a public apology. “My mistake was in repeating something one of you said about whether I would support someone like Susana Zabaleta,” she explained to reporters at Mexico City’s airport. “I repeated that, and that was my error, so I apologize for repeating something I shouldn’t have.”
In her clarification, Seoane emphasized that she did not intend to create discord and expressed her awareness of the genuine affection between Zabaleta and Pérez, calling their relationship “super beautiful.” She admitted that she often doesn’t focus on the lives of others and has no right to judge.
Seoane also pointed out the role of certain media outlets in distorting her comments to fuel controversy. “I’ve received all kinds of backlash, which is understandable, because you have a tremendous power through editing. If what the journalist asks is not clear, it’s easy for it to appear like I’m making a reference that didn’t come from my mouth,” she noted.
Following Seoane’s remarks, Matías Gruener, Zabaleta’s son, came to his mother’s defense, stating that such comments reflected ignorance and envy, emphasizing that love should not be measured in financial terms but rather in the authenticity of the bond between two individuals.
During her encounter with reporters at an awards ceremony, Seoane also touched upon the theme of female empowerment. However, her remark regarding relationships between older women and younger men reignited debate when she stated, “But I am not Susana Zabaleta; I don’t support anyone.”
With her public acknowledgment of the misstep and apologies, Seoane illustrates the importance of thoughtful communication, particularly in the media landscape where comments can be misinterpreted or misrepresented. This situation highlights the challenges artists face in navigating their personal opinions in public forums, while also supporting a dialogue on relationships and financial dynamics in partnerships.
This incident serves as a reminder of the impact that words can have in the entertainment industry and the importance of accountability. In an age where media scrutiny is intense, it’s essential to approach discussions around personal relationships with sensitivity and respect for the individuals involved.
