Diddy Combs refuses to testify in sex trafficking trial

The actor and former wrestler Víctor Manuel Reséndez, known as Latin Lover, shared an image on Instagram before entering the operating room. In the photograph you can see his hand with a hospital identification bracelet and the stretcher in the background. Without revealing the reason for the intervention, he asked his more than 300,000 followers to pray for him.

“Wish me luck, ask the person above that everything turns out well, please,” he wrote. He added that he would enter the operating room at noon and said goodbye with “see you soon, God willing, I love you.”

Aware of the risk

Although his message conveyed serenity, Latin Lover recognized that all surgery involves a margin of risk. “One more stripe to the tiger,” he said, suggesting that this is not his first operation.

Several figures in the media reacted with messages of support: Malillany Marín, Yulianna Peniche, Liliana Arraga, Sebastián Rulli, Adrián Uribe, David Zepeda, producer Omar Suárez and José Ron, among others.

Andrea Legarreta, host of the program Hoy, came out in defense of her partner Galilea Montijo in the face of constant accusations about her physical appearance on social networks.

During an interview with the press, Legarreta spoke about the aesthetic treatments that she herself uses. He clarified that resorting to them is a personal decision and should not generate attacks.

“I have my doctor Day, who does light things. I like to be natural in everything, as natural as possible,” she explained.

The host, 55 years old, mentioned that biostimulators have worked to improve the firmness of her skin without altering her features.

A call to empathy

When asked about the criticism that Galilea Montijo, 53, receives for her change of face in The House of the Famous, Legarreta did not hesitate to support her.

“I love Gali very much. I find it very sad, everyone has the right to do what they want, but we must not be cruel,” he expressed with annoyance.

He also reflected on the origin of those comments. For her, those who criticize from the screen usually have personal dissatisfactions.

“I think it comes from beings who suffer a lot or who have some situation in life that makes them uncomfortable… as a society we have to think carefully before writing such strong things,” he said.

Legarreta closed the topic by confessing that he is experiencing one of his happiest moments, personally and professionally. “Today I am happier than ever. I feel full, loved, valued, pampered, healthy and with work,” she concluded.

The Mexican filmmaker David Pablos repeats at the Venice Festival, but with a different role. A year after winning with On the Road in the Horizons section, he will now be part of the jury that will award the films in that same category, from September 2 to 12.

“A year ago I was in France finishing the sound design to arrive on time. Now I’m running for other reasons (laughs),” says the director. “I return to a section of more risky, authorial cinema, less formatted by the industry.”

Jury with five nationalities

He will be accompanied by Hong Kong director Elizabeth Lo, Italian actress Barbara Ronchi, American distributor Peter Becker and French filmmaker Valérie Donzelli, who will chair the group.

The selection of competing films will be announced in ten days; More than a dozen titles are expected.

“We are five different nationalities. The key is to argue and reach consensus. There is always subjectivity, but dialogue democratizes the decision,” explains Pablos.

On the road continues to achieve success

The film, produced by Inna Payán and Diego Luna, has been in theaters for seven weeks and more than 50 thousand viewers. In addition, it leads the Ariel Award nominations with 13, including Film, Director and Actor for Osvaldo Sánchez.

“I appreciate the recognition from the union and that many collaborators are also nominated,” says Pablos.

The Ariel ceremony will take place on October 3 at a venue yet to be defined.
