Mexican writer and journalist Ernestina Sodi passed away at the age of 64 due to two heart attacks. Her sudden death generated a wave of comments, especially on social media, where some users harshly criticized the television program "De primera mano" and its host Gustavo Adolfo Infante for taking advantage of the situation to attack Laura Zapata, sister of Thalía.
"Users have turned against the program for wanting to exploit Ernestina Sodi's death, bringing up old family scandals," Claudia de Icaza wrote on Twitter. The controversy focused on the time Laura Zapata accused Laura Zapata of being complicit in her kidnapping, which caused a rift in their relationship. Some internet users called for respect for the memory of Ernestina Sodi and her relatives during this difficult time.
In an audio broadcast on the program, a conversation between Laura Zapata and Ernestina Sodi in 2010 was heard, where the topic of the kidnapping was discussed. Laura Zapata defended herself by asserting she had no involvement in the case, while her sister expressed her love for her in a book. In light of this situation, comments on social media multiplied, demanding empathy and respect for the affected family.
"Respect, that whole family is in mourning. They talk just to talk without considering the consequences," another user wrote on Twitter, reflecting the discomfort of many regarding the exposure of old family grievances at such a delicate time. Despite the criticisms, neither the journalist nor the production of "De primera mano" has responded to the allegations, leaving this media controversy in suspense.
