He miss Universe 2022 is still generating controversy in the entertainment world. After the television presenter, Lili Estefan criticized the gender of Anne Jakkaphong, owner of the contest, the networks condemned her words, especially the LGTB + community, for which she now publicly apologized.
For more than two decades, the “El Gordo y La Flaca” program has received thousands of guests from the Univisión channel. But this time, the charismatic Cuban-American spoke out about the Thai businesswoman, causing a stir on social media.
The moment occurred while she was accompanied by her friend and program partner, Raúl Molina, who, in an attempt to correct her bad comment, denied that it was a man.
The criticism of the television presenter against Anne Jakkaphong, owner of Miss Universe
“I was watching her, biologically I think the owner of the contest is a man,” said Lili Estefan, referring to Anne Jakrajutatip, president of the Miss Universe organization, after the speech she gave at the contest where she was elected Miss USA, R’ Bonney Gabriel, published the LaVibra portal.
At that precise moment, Raúl de Molina intervened and interrupted her saying: “No, no, she is not a woman,” he clarified.
However, that was not enough and Lili expanded her explanation to cause even more controversy and add to her opening sentences.
“Well, he dresses like a woman but I think biologically he’s still a man. It is not what I read yesterday, I specifically looked for it and she said that he is biologically a man and I still do not understand that, ”she mentioned.
As expected, her words were received by two sides, those who rejected her thinking and others who defended her, supporting her position.
“What ignorant comments. The owner is Thai, and what does her gender transition have to do with any other Miss Universe theme?”, “Imagine being on national television and all you have to say is transphobic comments. What a shame ”, she could be read on Twitter.
Although the comment came after the contest, it was now that Lili Estefan wanted to amend her opinion, which was frowned upon by a majority that did not forgive her for the fact that a communicator owns an approach that discriminates against the transgender community that seeks their rights to be respected.
This is how Lili Estefan apologized
The apologies came from Lili Estefan, who from the program raised a public explanation to repair what was said more than a week ago.
“First I want to highlight this new owner of the contest, because it is a total reflection of the achievements they are achieving and I also want to take advantage of this moment to send an apology with all my love and affection to all that community that I love so much. I want you to know that my beautiful fat man and I personally, that this [programa] It will always be his home as it was for ‘Cachita’ for so many years,” he said.
In this way, he expressed himself and sent a warm message of love and affection to the members of the transgender community. (AND)
