The revelation of Eleazar Gómez in The VIP Farm
The actor Eleazar Gómez has shared for the first time, on the stage of the reality television program The VIP Farm, the deep existential crisis that triggered his admission to the Reclusorio Norte. Declared guilty of the crime of family violence, the performer confessed that, after regaining his freedom, he seriously contemplated permanently abandoning the artistic profession, his great passion and his fundamental livelihood.
The facts and the impact on his career
The origin of this episode dates back to five years ago, during the fall of 2020, when Tephie Valenzuela, his partner at the time, filed a formal complaint for physical assault. This accusation led to a court ruling that kept him deprived of liberty for just over six months. His reintegration into society was not easy; The artist faced the cancellation of multiple professional projects and a radical transformation of his public image, which led him to remain silent on the matter until his recent participation in the reality show.
It was in a private conversation with his partner Sergio Mayer Morí where Gómez decided to break his silence. With an attitude of frankness, the actor recalled the intense moments of uncertainty he experienced, a story that, according to Mayer, he was completely unaware of. “He’s a bastard, wow, never, never. I’ve never talked about it, he was really low, I was in a place where I lost everything, my voice, the ability to defend myself,” he said with obvious emotion.
The psychological consequences and the path to recovery
Gómez delved into the consequences that this event left in his life, stating that experiences of such magnitude are not completely overcome, but are internalized permanently. “I always think that the past has to stay in the past, but that mother still hurts me a little, you know? I’ve always been a bastard who tries to see the good side of things, but that really was a shameful thing for me, to be honest,” he reflected.
One of the most distressing aspects he reported was the procedural uncertainty. At the time of his imprisonment, his lawyers assured him that his stay in prison would not exceed fourteen days. However, the reality was very different, since his stay in the prison lasted a total of six months and thirteen days. “It was half a year, it was six months and thirteen days, I don’t comment on the inside at all, because I say there is nothing to talk about, I came out very strong, I thought I was going to be there for two weeks, bitch, I was terrified, anyone is terrified of stepping into a place like that,” he meticulously detailed.
Although at the time the actor admitted his guilt before a judge – a confession that was key to obtaining his parole -, during his intervention on the reality show he made a crucial distinction. He maintained that the person he was judged by in the media and public opinion did not correspond to his true self. “I’m not a little angel, but it was, really, something terrible, bastard… I was, really, even my mother, wow, everyone always talking about me and they don’t know anything, they tried to bring me down,” he expressed forcefully.
The experience was so traumatic that, even five years later, he finds it difficult to address it. “It was five years ago and it’s hard for me to talk about it, sometimes I turn around and say ‘it seems like yesterday’, when I was there I didn’t know anything, I was completely cut off.” This experience plunged him into a crisis of identity and purpose so profound that he began to question his own ability to resume his life. “I thought I was not going to be able to rebuild my life, wow, I thought about leaving the artistic medium completely, after so many years of doing this, which is what I love the most, what I have done all my life; after being there I said ‘I don’t want to dedicate myself to this anymore, I want to go out and dedicate myself to something else’, that’s how stupid it was and, that, I love this,” he pointed out.
It was family support that was the determining factor that dissuaded him from abandoning his career. His closest circle encouraged him to return to his path as an actor, arguing that it was his true vocation and the field in which he could best function. “Between my family, and the people who loved me, they told me ‘you’re not going to give up your entire career, everything you’ve done your entire life, just for this,'” he recalled. This support network was essential to her resilience and eventual return to the screen.
