A new controversy hits the world of cinema in Spain. A few hours ago, the complaint that three women made in El País came to light, accusing the film director Carlos Vermut of sexual violence. The three testimonies reveal that the women were forced by the filmmaker, and the actor José Coronado has spoken about this. His words have generated a significant stir on social networks, since the Entrevías actor questioned why women took so long to denounce the director.
Coronado’s controversial statements occurred during the red carpet of the Feroz Awards, held this Friday at the Vistalegre Palace in Madrid. “In any case, what I think is that you have to report. What is not worth it is to report after a year after two years… And today there are already mechanisms, thank God, to defend women who did not exist before. There were. Therefore, we must denounce the second one,” the actor expressed before the Europa Press microphones.
After being asked if what happened tarnished the gala, José Coronado acknowledged that “it would be better if this news did not appear.” “But hey, you also learn from them and, of course, supporting everyone who feels attacked, of course,” he expressed. Regarding whether his female colleagues have experienced a lot of inequality, Coronado said that “it is clear that they have had it more difficult,” but he believed that “in these years giant steps have been taken.”
The truth is that the words of the interpreter of series such as Vivir sin permit and El Príncipe have provoked numerous reactions, most of them in the form of criticism. One of the first to respond to her words has been the criminal lawyer Carla Vall, who from her profile on X of her, before her Twitter, has reacted forcefully. “The Penal Code has a statute of limitations of 10 years, but we will follow the Coronado Code. Thank you, José,” she expressed then.
“Thank you Coronado for telling us when we can report an attack or not,” can be read in the comment of a tweeter, who is totally disappointed with the actor’s words. “Although José Coronado thinks that reporting is only telling the police, it is also verbalizing it to the press, telling your story and exposing yourself publicly. Maybe this won’t happen to other women in the future,” said another Internet user.
Criticism has continued to surface on social networks during Friday night and Saturday morning. “The face at the end of Coronado is quite representative, on the other hand, if a man with the hair of a supporting actor Bob says “what is not worth it is to report after a year or two years”, well, nothing girls, we will have to report as best as possible. he likes it,” another girl criticized. Be that as it may, we will have to wait to know if these criticisms force the actor to come forward and apologize for his words. Meanwhile, social networks are burning with this controversy.
