Maria Pombo has issued a statement this Tuesday regarding the insults and threats she has received in recent days after being called “homophobic.” The 29-year-old influencer has regretted that her interview with Laura Escanes, in which they both talked about how they would react if their son or daughter declared their homosexuality to them.
The events go back to a part of the conversation in which the businesswoman reflected on whether or not it would be necessary for her son to tell her that he is “gay.” “I think they don’t have to tell you as a mother, I think you know that. Personally, I would make it easy for him so he wouldn’t have to sit down and tell me. I would like my son not to have to tell me: ‘I’m gay.'”
“I think that the moment your son comes and tells you, it’s like: ‘well, great, great, let’s keep going, what do you want to eat,’ right?” he added. Some words that, however, have circulated in a disconnected way on social networks, and that have caused the influencer to speak out, very upset, through her stories from Instagram.
An “unfair” and “out of place” act
The little Pombo girl explained that the night before her sister’s wedding she began to receive “a wave” of negative messages, which seems “unfair” and “out of place.” “I started receiving messages of insults and threats. I didn’t understand absolutely anything and I didn’t know where this controversy could come from,” she has advanced, including some responses from users.
“I hope your son is gay and you burn in hell”, “how disgusting you are” or “we are surprised that you have the nerve to be homophobic even in public” are some of the responses that the young woman has received these days. “For you graduates who wrote these headlines, I guess you got what you wanted,” she says next.
“I hope your family members never have to receive the threats and insults that are coming to me these days because of people with zero ethics and zero professionalism. Not everything goes,” concluded the influencer, who is already used to being involved in controversies. of this type. Therefore, with sadness but a hint of hope, she has written: “I find it necessary to talk about this […]although, of course, it will be of no use.
