Justice passes sentence and the show is left without a script
It seems that the party of irresponsible comments has just found its feared judicial security gorilla. In a twist that no one saw coming (or perhaps everyone), Sergio Mayer, the eternal defender of causes, has managed to get a judge to pay attention to him and ratify some protection measures against the executioners of the afternoon: Ferka and Linet Puente. Yes, the same members of the “La Granja VIP” panel who, apparently, confused their program with a popular court where sentences are handed down based on occurrences and ratings.
The measure, which sounds more like a legal muzzle than a simple suggestion, aims to prevent these two drivers from “continuing to rape,” in the words of the always subtle Mayer, his granddaughter and son, Sergio Mayer Mori. Of course, because in the world of entertainment, “rape” is no longer only a serious crime, but also a fashionable metaphor to describe comments that minimize and normalize. How beautiful.
The circus of intimate details is temporarily closed
In a move that mixes family drama with legal procedure, Mayer, flanked by his lawyers as if he were the protagonist of a lawyer series on Prime Video, solemnly declared that this is to protect his granddaughter’s private life. Because, let’s face it, what would entertainment be without a good custody conflict, accusations of boycott and a legal battle that seems more like a soap opera script than a real lawsuit?
The actor was energetic, as only he knows how to be, announcing that he will protect his granddaughter even from her own parents. A statement that, without a doubt, will not generate more controversy or fuel the same fire that it claims to want to put out. He condemned that his son has been a victim for nine years and, what is worse, constantly re-victimized. Meanwhile, Natalia Subtil, the girl’s mother, is presented in this story as a schizophrenic figure: on the one hand she demands a pension and on the other, according to Mayer, she sabotages her ex-partner’s projects. Does anyone else see the potential for a spin-off?
Mayer’s lawyer, in a moment of legal clarity in the midst of chaos, specified that the judge ratified the measures in favor of the girl (whose identity is reserved, because a little mystery never hurts), the grandfather and the father. And he ruled: neither the aggressors nor the “interposite person” – a legal term that sounds like a Star Wars character – can give their opinion. Ferka and Linet, according to the lawyer, were making fun of Mayer Mori’s experience, operating under the naive premise that attacking a man with a daughter has no consequences. What an adorable disconnection from reality.
The origin of the scandal: When opinion meets the law
And what did these two TV judges say to unleash this legal storm? Well, Linet Puente, in a burst of forensic psychological analysis, gave her opinion on some comments that Mayer Mori made within the reality show. The young man recalled a relationship nine years ago with Natalia Subtil, when she was 27 years old and he was 17. The sagacious Linet interpreted Sergio’s statements as the pride of a teenager who “attached himself to the big girl, to the model,” happily concluding that this “overthrows all this distraction” about the age difference. Ferka, for her part, nodded in agreement, validating this peculiar theory of the annulment of statutory rape for adolescent cockiness.
Mayer, in his role as paladin of morality, pointed out that this legal action is not against “La Granja VIP” or against TV Azteca, but against the people who, in their personal capacity, made comments that, according to his particular interpretation, “generate an apology for crime.” Because in Mayer’s world, there is a fine line between entertainment and incitement to crime, and he has decided to be its guardian.
So now you know: the judge has spoken, the measures are ratified and the show must go on, but with a slightly censored script. Because when opinion is dressed as a sentence, sometimes justice responds with its own version of the “cut.”
