Bertín Osborne is fed up. The singer has become the protagonist of the media spotlight in recent months due to his unexpected paternity with the Paraguayan businesswoman Gabriela Guillén. A baby that arrives when the singer has already turned 69, and about whom he has already said actively and passively that he does not actively want to be a father.

As if that were not enough, media pressure would have led the singer to make a decision: his days on television are numbered. This was communicated to his followers at his last concert, in Alicante. A performance where, in addition, he made a somewhat unfortunate joke, which has already been labeled “homophobic” and “sexist.”

Bertín told his followers that he was not having a good time, because a “little girl” named Rocío, whom he dated when he was 20 years old and for whom he wrote the song Abrázame, abrázame, had died a few days ago. After telling the tragic news, the singer ended by saying: “At least she was a little girl and not a Civil Guard.”

A comment that earned comments and laughter from the public, so Bertín Osborne finished by saying: “No, it’s just that it’s fashionable now… No, well not me,” he concluded, making gestures as if he was not in relationships. with men. In Espejo Público it has sparked a whole debate, with Susanna Griso charging against the singer.

“Now it’s fashionable to be homosexual, he says,” interpreted journalist Laura Fa, visibly indignant at the singer’s words. “They are deeply homophobic words… Those are Bertín’s deeply homophobic comments, which he uses as a joke.”

The presenter of the space, Susanna Griso, could not help but intervene. “This does not have a pass. I am very sorry for Bertín, but this cannot be defended in any way,” the journalist stated, disappointed.

“The tremendous thing is to think that this is funny nowadays,” said Griso, in response to the comments of his partner Miquel Valls, who did not understand how the singer could have an audience that laughed at his joke.

“This is not a joke, it is part of a thought. There are things that are unfortunate jokes, that are unfortunate jokes… And there are things that are thoughts that one has for life,” said Gema López. “I think this responds to the character and the way of acting.”

“It’s a bit old thinking. Knowing Bertín, I don’t think he’s homophobic,” said Susanna Griso.

The singer arrived at the concert still suffering from his health problems, after being sick with Covid-19 during the first weeks of the year. “Never in my life have I been so bad, bad as a dog. I had never been in bed for seven, eight days without being able to get up,” he confessed.

Even with the consequences, the singer has had time for reflection. Thus, he communicated to his followers that his days on television could be numbered. “I’ll probably continue making music, I’ll continue singing because that’s what amuses me the most, but I’ll get out of the way about the rest, because I’m already fed up,” he stated bluntly.

“This amuses me much more than television, I have to tell you. I have less left, I have less left.”
