This Sunday, the Fiesta program discussed the release of Shakira’s latest song, in which, once again, the Colombian throws some taunts at her ex-partner Gerard Piqué and also at her ex-father-in-law. One of her biggest detractors is Sául Ortiz, a collaborator on the program, who has not hesitated to harshly attack the singer.
Such were the harsh comments made against her that Emma García had to intervene and try to redirect her words. And the journalist put on the table that Shakira’s most unconditional followers had undertaken harassment and demolition against her on social networks and the situation was already unsustainable.
“Go to a psychiatrist or a psychologist. They are going to help you more than making us all participate in what is going on in your head. It’s unpleasant. It could even be considered harassment,” said Saúl Ortiz, who also went so far as to affirm that Piqué is being “generous” by overlooking this type of attitude from the Colombian, in reference to the lyrics of his new songs.
This comment has caused a stir among the rest of the Fiesta colleagues, to the point that Emma García has had to intervene and cut the situation short. “I wouldn’t send anyone to a psychologist or psychiatrist. Let everyone digest these issues how they want and how they can,” she reproached her partner.
Immediately afterwards, Ortiz wanted to publicly denounce the harassment suffered at the hands of some of the singer’s followers. “Shut up, you idiot” or “I hope I see you on the street to break your face,” are some of the messages that the journalist has received. A situation for which Ortiz holds Shakira directly responsible for allowing “the harassment and persecution” carried out by her fans.
“He should ask his followers for caution and calm when they insult and threaten those of us sitting here,” urged the journalist. To which the presenter, although in agreement with this request, also reproached him for the following: “That cannot be allowed, but let’s not hold Shakira responsible for things done by people who love her.”
