Juan Otero decided to defend Flor Peña, his mother, from Fernanda Iglesias’ criticism. In this regard, the panelist affirms that the actress became famous thanks to her articles that she wrote for the newspaper Clarín.
“The good thing is that you become famous by speaking badly of others, which is good. Do you know what is also good? That when you speak of others, you speak well of others, because that speaks worse of you, if you speak badly of others all the time,” said Juan.
“Should I tell you the truth? It’s horrible to hear you talk so badly about people, especially when you mess with the work and talent of others,” the young man protested. “When you talk about how exaggerated Mom is and what not… I ask you if you ever sat down to watch her in the theater or saw anything about her because it seems to me that you have little knowledge,” he said.
“Yes, obviously. You weren’t even born when I saw her in the theatre. I saw her a thousand times. She’s very good in the theatre. I don’t like doing television and I have the right to do it,” Iglesias replied.
“Do you know what bothers me? The double standards. When you mess with others, everything is fine, and when they mess with you, everything is bad, and I notice that a lot in the media,” Otero countered. “You can criticize her all you want and I can’t?” Fernanda wanted to know.
JUAN OTERO made Fernanda IGlesias cry.

“But she is my mother,” Juan answered, and then he fell into Iglesias’ trap, who checkmated him with a “So? Worse.” “I can criticize her all I want because I know her from head to toe, you don’t know her at all. That’s the problem: when you talk without knowing. It’s not just with you, it’s with all the people who talk without knowing her. I swear that if you talk about her like that, you don’t know her personally,” Juan Otero retorted.
“What bothers me is that they talk badly about her and then, when they get back at her, they complain. Put up with it. If they talk badly about others, put up with it, because that’s how it is,” the teenager challenged her, but Fernanda did not back down: “I’ll put up with it, say what you want about me,” she replied.
