Baroness Thyssen has been involved in a controversy that has filled minutes on various programs for days. Carmen “Tita” Cervera was to be the main protagonist of a biographical book written by Nieves Hierro, author of novels such as What her eyes were hiding and As if there were no tomorrow. However, after seeing her initial result, Cervera chose to write her own autobiography and leave the Madrid writer behind. Now the Baroness wanted to explain her reasons.
Speaking to the microphones of Europa Press, Thyssen clarified that he did not have a bad relationship with Nieves Herrero, but he did not believe that The Baroness had the necessary similarities with his life. “What happens is that, as I have said several times, it is not similar,” he said. Not content with that, the Baroness implied that she had read the book and that there were parts in which she agreed, but that at the end of the day that was not a biography.
“I have not made memories with her. I saw four chapters that are fine, but it’s a novel”, were his words. The well-known face of the tabloids explained that he had already started with his own work, so that his life is immortalized between the pages: “I I write my own memoirs, which I’m doing now”. Rumors were just spreading saying that the Baroness backed down on Herrero’s project when she saw how its development was progressing, something that the latter ruled out.
Despite the differences in more literary matters, Thyssen wanted to reiterate that he does not hold any grudges or enmity towards Nieves Herrero. He simply considers that what appears on her pages does not match her life or her expressions. “Really with her, she really is a great person, I like her. Simply that she does not resemble the way I express myself, thank you “. A few words with which he closed the conversation with the journalists.
Despite all the controversy organized around this matter, Carmen Cervera herself does not know if she will take legal action against the Madrid author. “I don’t know”, were her exact words when faced with questions from the press. This statement casts doubt on the continuity of the novel, a project for which Nieves Herrero put all her efforts and which came close to making her cry during her presentation. after the Baroness was absent from the event.
“This has affected me a lot,” said the writer during the presentation, asking readers for empathy, to put themselves in her shoes after the unexpected turn of events. “It has been three years participating in many things, going in and out of her house in La Moraleja, opening up because she has really been very generous with me,” she said, visibly affected by the situation.
