Jorge Javier Vázquez was surprised to receive a homophobic insult live on Sálvame on Wednesday, February 22. It happened during a live connection with Cádiz, where José Antonio León was interviewing a witness to the altercation that José Antonio Canales Rivera carried out in the street.
A vehicle with the window open passed by the place where the magazine team was. From inside the car the voice of a person could be heard shouting: "Jorge Javier, fagot!" The Catalan reacted ironically: "But you already knew, right?"
His teammates on the set laughed at his response. The reporter added: "What an exclusive the uncle said. You have received a compliment from Cádiz." The presenter expressed: "It seems strange to me that after 25 years what they say is 'faggot'. Didn't they know it in Cádiz? Cádiz is like not knowing it."
Although at first those present at Sálvame took what happened with humor, Miguel Frigenti recounted in a more serious tone: "It is something that they do to me continuously and I already feel bad." Vázquez added: "You can't get angry when they describe you."
The host of the format ended by launching a plea against homophobia: "It is good that these things happen because in this country we still have to make a lot of progress. This happens to us many times and we have naturalized this type of situation, but they are attacks, they are insults. We We think we've come a long way. It's true, but we still have a lot more to go."
"This type of situation is what many times people like me and my group have to deal with on the street. In addition, we cannot turn around because then it becomes much more messy and, unfortunately, we have to put our heads down and go from long," he declared.
José Antonio León intervened to say that he had recently had a similar experience: "I think that it is not about gender or anything, it is about scoundrels who do the kaffir and that's it. With irony I resolved, with humor and to take wind." Jorge Javier finished off: "I am 52 years old, I have a callous, but there are very young people who suffer with this type of situation."
