January 6, 1994, French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. The date and last location where Ylenia Carrisi was seen alive. The daughter of Italian singers Al Bano and Romina Power disappeared under mysterious circumstances and was never heard from again, to the point that the police declared her dead in December 2013. However, there was one woman who defended herself tooth and nail. teeth that the affected person was still alive.
That woman was Lydia Lozano, who was involved in a big scandal after telling all the details to her father, live, on Salsa Rosa. The then collaborator of the program that Santi Acosta presented on Telecinco claimed to have data that corroborated her words, among them that she lived in Santo Domingo and even that she had mulatto children. However, she soon had to admit that she was wrong, and it almost cost her a complaint from Al Bano.
She spoke about all of this this past Thursday on Drama Queen, the new ABC podcast presented by Pilar Vidal, as the first guest. Lozano acknowledged that she does not want to talk about the issue again after all the damage it caused her, including the criticism from different fellow journalists that she received at that time. Such was the regret on the part of the former Sálvame collaborator that she decided not to get involved in missing persons cases again.
“You have created a kind of phobia for certain information, which you have later verified to be true but you have not dared,” Vidal said in this regard. “Yes, yes… and then I have never said: ‘I already knew that.’ Because that phrase makes me very angry. I have struggled a lot with my journalist self and my ‘keep my feet on the Earth’ self so as not to suffer by taking risks,” he explained, acknowledging that he suffered a lot due to the Ylenia case and that he stayed away from some news.
“Now I see that the topic of Luis Miguel’s mother is being discussed, I think: ‘Thank goodness I’m in my little house.’ I see that people speak very lightly and I think that if I said it they would surely point the finger at me. “I will never talk about a missing person again, not even if they are in the basement of my house,” she said. However, another relevant fact was the insistence of some programs that she talk about the case, and she was invited again and again to review everything she knew.
“When I cried it was ‘the golden nugget’. When I asked not to talk more about the case, they told me: ‘Lydia, we are numbers here.’ And it doesn’t matter what your name is, the important thing is that you don’t lower the data or the audience curve,” criticized the collaborator, sending a message to the media and other platforms of the heart.
