Dagna Mata was emphatic about the matter: “We cannot continue to allow the abuse of power that exists and is exercised much against women in the industry. We are the only ones who are affected.” She imagined that, like all the women involved, she would be taking it hard. Beyond the reaction attributed to Aguilar, Mata also launched direct accusations against Christian Nodal, whom she pointed to for alleged abuse of power and for non-payment after his participation in the project. In this sense, the model expanded her stance with a structural critique of the industry: “Being a woman and dedicating yourself to this industry is complicated.” “Supposedly, I have been told that all of this is getting out of control and that she is also very bad off.” Users pointed out that the model in the video bore a striking resemblance to Cazzu, and some even claimed that it also evoked features of Ángela Aguilar, which generated the perception of a kind of “blend” between the two figures. In the midst of the controversy, model Dagna Mata decided to break her silence and give her version of the facts, not only about her participation in the music video, but also about the environment surrounding the production. “We are always being compared, discredited, and the focus is on attacking our work. I would like to think that we can take this beyond continuing to talk about the ex of, the model of, the partner of”. The controversy has also reignited the discussion about power dynamics within the entertainment industry. Her statements have added a new layer to the discussion, particularly in relation to the reaction of Ángela Aguilar. Ángela Aguilar's Reaction During an interview, Mata shared what she said she had heard about how the situation would have impacted the artist. The digital conversation around Christian Nodal intensified after the release of the music video for his new song ‘Un vals’, a production that quickly sparked comparisons and speculation on social networks.
