Mario Escobar was criticized for a question he answered about a future series by his daughter Debanhi. (Portal/Political Animal)
No, Mario Escobar didn’t say he wanted to do a Debanhi Escobar series starring Belinda or Danna Paola. You asked him and he answered. The interview was conducted by Venga la Alegría, the program that also gives advice on how to respond to an attack on public transport where a medium speaks in a foreign language. But nobody cared about the context: neither those who conducted the interview nor those who replicated it, let alone those who lynch Escobar on social networks and accuse him of wanting to profit from his daughter’s death.
Things happened as follows: In this show they presented a capsule with the interview with Mario Escobar. In the note, they confirm that Mario Escobar is thinking about producing his daughter’s series and they say so “He wants Belinda or Danna Paola to be in this project”, only added the questioning tone at the end of the sentence, a tricky technique to realize that whoever was saying that was Mr. Escobar. But the question was the work of ‘Venga La Alegría’, and presenter Ricardo Casares made it clear from the start when he said: “We asked them who would be chosen to play Debanhi.”
The interview can be seen from minute 30:00
When asked about Belinda and Danna Paola, Mario Escobar replied, “In a way it would be an honor if any artist played our daughter’s role, they are well-known artists. But we’re going to get into that later or later, producers are going to touch it, or the people who are going to do that.” It’s true that the man has talked about the possibility, but again, he’s doing it because they’re asking him and because there are people who have made suggestions.
“Many people have approached us, I can’t say no. To tell the whole truth on behalf of the parents: Mario and Dolores.”Escobar said in October last year. He made it clear that it was not a priority and that the most important thing was still that his daughter’s case be fair. Moreover, if such an approach were taken, the profits would go to charity. After the noise caused by the “Venga la Alegría” note, Escobar released his version through his YouTube channel.

“They did an interview with me about the appearance of artists (in the alleged series). You don’t say everything. They asked me if I would like it and I was very clear: I appreciate from the bottom of my heart the empathy the artists had. Our thought is not on that, but on finding the alleged culprits in the Debanhi case. Of the ladies mentioned (Belinda and Danna Paola), making a movie or a series is not our priority, thank you all, but it’s not a priority,” he told escobar.
The criticism, without taking into account that everything arose from a malicious question, focused on Mario Escobar, who is pointed out on the always punctual social networks for wanting to profit from the death of his daughter. The opportunism of many media outlets was able to bring about more than a simple clarification: he wasn’t talking about the series, nor about Belinda or Danna Paola, he was just reacting to something and from that answer everyone, Starting with those who popped the question, they were confiscated to promote the idea that he would want an artist to star in the alleged series. The broken phone was played and Mario Escobar’s reputation was damaged regardless of context and manners. The main problem that Debanhi’s case does not go unpunished should occupy those areas devoted to hatred and malicious intent.
