Juan Carlos Casasola revealed that he organized a party at the funeral home during his father's wake, even ordering pizzas for the occasion. The comedian, known for his participation in shows like "Guerra de chistes" and "Solo para mujeres," detailed that his relationship with his father was conflictive, as he would often punish and hit him severely.
"My dad taught me incorrectly, it was not optimal. For example, he would punish me severely and hit me when he got angry," Casasola shared in an interview. His father passed away when he was 19, at which point he decided to celebrate his death, as he felt finally free and would not have to endure his father's abuse any longer.
During the wake at the funeral home, the comedian gathered his friends and explained that it was a celebration of his freedom and not having to see his father again. Although he acknowledged that ideally one should remember a loved one for positive moments, in his case, his father's departure represented relief.
Casasola recalled painful anecdotes from his childhood, such as when his father forced his brother to eat vomit as punishment for not wanting to have breakfast, reflecting the severity of his upbringing. Despite it all, the comedian stated that he learned from that experience not to repeat that kind of treatment with his own children in the future.
In short, Juan Carlos Casasola explained that the celebration at the funeral home was not out of disdain for his father, but rather the liberation he felt from no longer having to face an environment of abuse and punishment.
