The actress and former beauty queen, Alicia Machado, has been at the center of controversy, following her comments about Selena Gomez, and is now facing death threats. The situation, which has caught the attention of the media and social networks, has deeply worried Machado, who in a recent live broadcast revealed that the attacks against her have gone beyond criticism and have endangered the safety of her family, especially that of her daughter.
Alicia, known for her participation in La Casa de los Famosos and for being crowned Miss Universe in 1996, stated that her words about the singer of Lose You to Love Me were expressed impulsively and without ill intentions. Despite the controversy that arose, the actress made it clear that she has nothing against Selena Gomez and even admires her work.
The controversy intensifies and affects his family.
During the live broadcast, Machado explained that his comment about Selena, in which he suggested she go to the gym, was not premeditated. He acknowledged that his words were impulsive, but clarified that there was nothing personal in them. However, the situation quickly escalated when Machado began receiving death threats.
The actress also revealed that she has not only been attacked through direct messages, but her daughter Dinorah has also been targeted.
"They already tried to get into my daughter's networks, telling her that her dad is a drug dealer. Come on, get over my daughter's issue. You have that, not us," expressed the former Miss Universe, visibly affected by the comments she has received.
Concern in the media about threats and the attack on his daughter
The scandal has been a topic of conversation on various programs, including La Mesa Caliente, where the growing tension between the followers of both public figures was discussed. The hosts, like Verónica Bastos, expressed their concern about the seriousness of the threats. "I find death threats terrible, I think it's tough for her," commented Bastos, showing solidarity with Machado.
On the other hand, Aylín Mujica pointed out that although she understands the annoyance of those who felt offended by Alicia's statements, she disagreed with people attacking her daughter, who has nothing to do with the initial controversy. "She didn't say anything about Selena Gomez," said Mujica, defending Machado in her role as a mother.
Meanwhile, the controversy continues to generate debate on social media. Additionally, some have criticized the fact that Alicia took advantage of the situation to promote her protein, arguing that it was not the right time to do so. However, what is clear is that the tension between the two celebrities is growing, and Alicia Machado does not plan to stay silent in the face of the threats she is receiving.
