Susanna Griso sentences Bertín Osborne for a “homophobic” joke: “It's a bit old thinking”

Bertin Osborne chain one controversy after another. And according to the statements of his ex, Gabriela Guillén, for the birth of his son, now adds the self-confidence with which the artist joked this Sunday about relationships. Some unfortunate words that have been labeled as homophobic this Monday on Antena 3.

The singer performed this Sunday in Alicante after postponing the date up to two times due to Covid-19, an illness that kept him in bed for days. “Never in my life have I been so bad, bad as a dog,” he said, happy to resume his professional commitments. This was proven when, while he was talking to his audience, he got a little tongue-tied with a joke that, although some did not fully understand, in Public mirror has been highly criticized.

The artist, 69 years old, said that his song Hold me, love, hold me It was dedicated to a woman with whom he fell in love some time ago and who, unfortunately, had recently died. When she dedicated this song to him, he was “20 years old” and Its protagonist was “a little girl.” “I found out that the poor thing died last week. A very cute girl, with three or four children, a wonderful husband, and she died a week ago,” he said.

A “unfunny” joke

“And those things that affect you now, why, as they said, people who have never died are dying,” he joked, letting it slip that dating someone younger is not a bad thing: “Hey, at least one of the girls is not a civil guard, damn it. No, it's just that it's fashionable now. Well, not me.”

These last words have reached the Atresmedia set, where have been labeled “homophobia”. This is what Laura Fa has assessed, supported by Susanna Griso. “This is not very funny nowadays,” said the presenter, who was very amazed when she saw the images of the concert.

“It's a bit of an old comment”, the presenter has assessed, qualifying the statements of her partner, who has also called him “sexist.” “Even so, I wouldn't call him homophobia. Knowing Bertin, I don't think he is a homophobe,” Griso said.

Bertín considers leaving television

In this same performance, the singer also dropped that he had “less” left and that, although he will resume rehearsals next April and publish new songs, the end of his television stage is getting closer. “I'm already fed up”he claimed.

Fabiola Martínez's ex-husband has been in the eye of the storm since the birth of his seventh child and his refusal to act as a father became known on January 2. This only distanced him even more from his ex, who has already filed a paternity suit, and placed him as one of the most popular names on the sets, where in recent days there has been talk of his possible involvement in the theft of the Paraguayan baby stroller.
