Veteran actress Florinda Meza recently made headlines, not just for her legendary career, but for her pointed remarks. Confronted by reporters, she shared a powerful thought: “We live in a world of men where a woman’s first enemy is another woman.” This reflection came after journalists at Mexico City International Airport compared her to singer Ángela Aguilar. Meza has faced a wave of criticism, especially since the release of the bioseries ‘Chespirito, sin querer queriendo.’
Reporters drew parallels between Meza’s past with Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito) in the late 1970s and Ángela Aguilar’s current situation in 2024 with Christian Nodal. They noted that before Meza began a public and official relationship with Chespirito, the comedian had separated from his wife, Graciela Fernández. Their legal divorce was finalized in 1989. This history, the reporters suggested, mirrored the recent events involving Ángela Aguilar, Christian Nodal, and his ex-partner, singer Cazzu.
The 76-year-old actress was direct in her response to the comparison. “I don’t know her, I don’t know her. I just found out about that from Adela (Micha),” she stated. she replied. Meza continued, challenging the idea of a woman “taking” a man. “They told me she took someone’s husband. What is he, a hair clip, a ring? And what about him? What I think is that nobody should get involved in another person’s life.” She then added that “women should be more feminist.” Meza believes it’s unacceptable that, in a world dominated by men, women so often turn against each other.
The conversation also touched on her relationship with María Antonieta de las Nieves. Meza appeared annoyed, questioning if the reporters thought this was an artistic matter.
Florinda Meza Calls ‘Chespirito’ Bioseries “Moral Damage”
The controversy didn’t stop there. In a new interview with journalist Gustavo Adolfo Infante, Meza again blasted the ‘Chespirito’ bioseries. She insisted its content is pure fiction. According to her, it does not truly tell the story of the man who was her husband from 2004 until his death in 2014.
“Everything that appears in it is a lie. Everything is false,” she declared. This statement surprised the interviewer and many fans who have followed Roberto Gómez Bolaños’ shows for years. Far from supporting the project, Meza suggested the series, created by Roberto Gómez Fernández and his sister Paulina, is a way to “throw the stone and hide the hand.”
“Everything those creators did, with full malice, caused a stark media lynching. That’s not only inhumane and unjust, it’s illegal,” Meza argued. “It’s moral damage. It’s damage to my career, to my profession, and that is forbidden by law.” She explained that while her actual name wasn’t used in the series due to legal reasons, the character of “Margarita Ruiz,” played by Bárbara López, was clearly meant to be her.
“Using my life, my image under the guise of it being a character, is done with malice to make a profit,” Meza asserted. “It’s my private life. I don’t have to explain anything to anyone.”
