Marilyn Manson leads the KnotFest 2025 poster in Mexico

Cecilia Tijerina, known for her participation in La rosa de Guadalupe, responded harshly to Pedro Sola’s recent comments about dogs. The Ventaneando driver had indicated that he did not like seeing them in public places and suggested harming them.

The actress recalled on Facebook that Sola described her as “half crazy” years ago, after an interview. Now, Tijerina turned around: “I’d rather be ‘half crazy’ than be like you.”

“It is not normal to have so much hatred towards innocent beings who only give us love and want to hurt them. And you agree with him and it even makes you laugh that he is inciting people to commit a crime,” he wrote, in apparent reference to Pati Chapoy, who laughed during the comment.

Reactions in networks

The publication accumulates nearly 4 thousand reactions and dozens of comments. Users like Julianna Maldonado thought that “dogs are better than them.” Another Internet user, Patricia McClen, pointed out that Sola “apologized and retracted it, but I guess he did it so they wouldn’t expel him.”

So far, neither Sola nor Chapoy have issued a public response to Tijerina’s statements. The controversy revives the debate about the treatment of animals and the responsibility of public figures in their statements.

The pain of absence

Galilea Montijo sadly remembers the moment when her son Mateo, then 11 years old, asked her to live with his father. The driver describes it as a feeling of being “deceased in life.”

She and Fernando Reina divorced in March 2023 after eleven years of marriage. Since then, they have maintained a cordial relationship for the well-being of their son, now 12 years old and on his way to being a professional soccer player.

Mateo lives in Acapulco with his father; Galilea, in Mexico City. Although they see each other frequently, their absence affects her deeply.

Confessions in “Divine Nets”

In the program of which she is a part, Montijo confessed that not listening to it at home makes her feel “like a zombie.” He remembered that when Mateo approached him when he was 12, he told him that he wanted to go with his father. She begged him not to, but in the end he respected her decision.

“Children are like leagues: you let go of them a little and you feel like they’re gone, but the league always comes back,” he reflected.

The host also revealed that she felt judged by her son’s decision. However, his therapist explained that Mateo was looking to accompany his father, who lives alone with one of his children. “I feel like Mateo felt responsible for taking care of his dad,” she said.

“For me, the empty nest is terrible. It started at 11,” she added through tears. He said that when his son left, he felt like he was losing his life. “I was walking like a zombie,” he confessed.

Galilea assures that, despite the distance, their bond remains strong. “He knows he has his mom 24/7,” he concluded.

Two premieres for opposite audiences

The summer season in theaters receives two radically different proposals: the return of Moana in a live-action version and the new installment of the Evil Dead saga. The first aims at the family audience; the second, to the followers of the most extreme terror.

Moana’s new journey

Ten years after its animated premiere, Disney revives Moana with a budget of 200 million dollars. It is directed by Thomas Kail and stars Catherine Laga’aia, accompanied by Dwayne Johnson as Maui, now in physical form. The film includes an unreleased song by Lin-Manuel Miranda titled Along the way. Johnson has noted that the project honors Pacific culture and the memory of his grandfather.

Evil Dead on Fire: unbridled terror

At the other extreme, Evil Dead on Fire comes directed by Frenchman Sébastien Vanicek and with Souheila Yacoub as the protagonist. The story follows a widow who takes refuge with her in-laws in a secluded house, where demonic chaos breaks loose. Early reviews describe the film as the most intense installment of the franchise, with high doses of explicit violence. Sam Raimi, original creator, participates as producer.

Both premieres seek to capture very different audiences, but they share the objective of marking the summer season on the big screen.
