Aitana Ocaña was not the winner of her edition of Operación Triunfo in 2017, but it cannot be denied that she has had the most projection of all the contestants. The young woman is a superstar, and her fans number in the millions, so it is normal that everyone wants to see and feel her idol up close when the slightest opportunity arises.
The singer attended the El Hormiguero program on the night of Wednesday, September 20, to present her new album, Alpha; and, as expected, several dozen of her followers were waiting for her at the entrance to the Atresmedia studios so they could take a photo of her with it. However, chaos soon arrived, with the father of one of her young fans calling her “disgusting” for not wanting to take a group photo, something that made the Catalan woman explode.
Upon her arrival at the entrance to the program’s studios, Aitana soon found herself surrounded by her followers, who were waiting for the opportunity to take a photo with her and have her sign an autograph. According to some users on social networks, her father in question called her names like “disgusting” and “shitty”, in front of the rest of her followers, when she refused to take a group photo due to lack of time.
Faced with the father’s haste because his daughter’s turn would come, also accusing him that “you always do the same thing” after Aitana said that she could not delay any longer because she had to go in to do her job, the singer could not help but react .
“I just ask you to have a little more respect,” the singer asks her father, frustrated and enraged. “I stop whenever I can, I just ask that you have a little more respect because that’s not a good thing for you to say,” she snapped, annoyed.
“Whenever someone asks me for a photo, whenever I’m on the street, I take it. I never say no,” she concluded, with her father apologizing and her thanking him. Moments later, her daughter, in tears, posed for a photo with her idol.
According to one of the singer’s followers on Instagram, this attitude of the parents – no longer the followers – is “shameful.” The singer receives attitudes and insults in almost all of her appearances, and she never leaves any of her followers without her precious autograph. “It seems very strong to me that she is the one who has to ask for respect. What a shame that she has to put up with this.”
Aitana is a role model among young people, and the performer is one of the most listened to singers in the world of Latin music. Affable, always very smiling and friendly, there are few who do not identify with her.
However, if they also know something, it is that, despite her fame and numerous recognitions, there is something that the Catalan still does not handle very well: feeling harassed and persecuted by the press or by overly insistent followers. She is always very polite, but you can see her nervousness and restlessness.
As the years go by, Aitana is learning to manage her emotions and deal with her fame, which grows day by day. Her stress is understandable, and she no longer hesitates to respond when something bothers her. She, yes, always with education and respect.
