The phenomenon of “international hatred” towards Karla Panini, a well-known Mexican comedian, has become a topic of global discussion due to her participation in a scandalous love triangle involving her former best friend Karla Luna, who died of cancer, and her ex-husband Américo Garza.

The relationship between Panini, Luna and Garza has been the subject of intense public scrutiny, exacerbated by the spread of personal details and accusations online. This scrutiny intensified when South Korean TikToker Stephanie Soo addressed the issue in a video in English, taking the controversy beyond national borders.

Recently, students from a university in Chicago joined in the repudiation of Panini through a video in which young people of various nationalities participated. In the video, students from countries such as Afghanistan, Brazil, Spain, Japan, Ukraine, Romania, Canada, South Korea, South Africa and Russia joined together to insult Panini.

The comments on the video, which has racked up more than 17.8 million views on TikTok, reflect the global reach of the negative sentiment toward Panini. Some comments include phrases such as: “Not even the UN has been able to bring the countries together with so much unity”, “That, screw your mother Karla Panini”, “I never thought I would see this beauty, I wish Karla Luna would see this”, and “Karla Panini, don’t forget that the whole world tells you to say this… fuck your mother”; “THEY FORGET ABOUT AMERICOOO, it’s not just Panini”; “But tell them the gossip so they can say it with courage to that damn old woman.”
