In a historic call for the program “El Mismo Golpe”, communicator Luisín Jiménez recalled the time 18 years ago when he challenged actor Vin Diesel in an incident involving a girlfriend of the late politician Juancito Sport.
Luisín told the radio show “El Mismo Golpe” hosted by Jochy Santos that it all started when I “went to the Praia nightclub with Vladimir Mencía and the late Juancito Sport that night in 2005”.
According to his confession, the actor Vin Diesel “falls in love with a young girl who goes to the disco and was then Juancito Sport’s girlfriend.”
The young woman seemed angry with Juancito and they sat at different tables, Luisín said.
“The young woman sees Vin Diesel harassing her and she feels uncomfortable because she says she wants his autograph, but not in a way that he harassed her, he kind of misinterpreted her attitude towards the artist, he misinterpreted her as if it was interest “as a man,” he said.
He remembers that moment: “What happens? That he tells the young woman to go together (he didn’t want to say his name because he currently has his family, although those loved ones were public at the time)”.
According to the Dominican communicator, Vin Diesel says to the young lady: -Let’s go, and the girl says: -but I don’t want to go.
One walking with the actor from “Fast and Furious” takes her by the hand and says: -Let’s go, as if half-pulling her, the girl says: -Luisín, don’t let her (take me).
Back then, 2005, Juancito Sport is a deputy, “and he didn’t want any problems or public scandal.” and I will accept the lawsuit,” said Luisín.
Then Luisín chases the actor “and I hit him”, but in reality there was nothing he could do because “Vin Diesel was with two Tígueres when that happened, these Tígueres, I’ll tell you one thing: these are professional security guards who the guy could have.” cut me off, but I grabbed my hands like they were the hands of a three-month-old. He put them in their place and looked at me as if to say, “You can’t do that.”
On the way out: “I’m quiet because the girl doesn’t go with him anymore, but my friends blame me that my girlfriend fell in love with him and people don’t know that’s not my girlfriend, but that me.” I stand up for a friend (Juancito Sport) who later wasn’t my friend (hahahaha).
The lawsuit was complicated because a boy breaks a bottle “and goes to Vin Diesel,” but he was stopped by his caretakers.
“The security service itself takes off the bottle cap as if it were a child, but does not attack it. They’re experienced security because he knows if they give Vin Diesel a buffoon they’ll sue him,” he said.
At that moment, the lawsuit was stimulated by Vladimir Mencía, who said: “Take out the gun…”
An officer appeared on site and calmed the situation: “Since I saw someone who had a higher rank than me, I got out because there are ranks that take away Jumos.”
The next day, Leonel Fernández, He sent the country’s then-president after him and received him at Funglode’s headquarters so he could explain what had happened.
“I went there and explained part of the problem to him. I didn’t lie to him, but I didn’t tell him everything,” he said.
According to Luisín, Valentino Morales was the one who said publicly that the communicator’s girlfriend “fell in love with Vin Diesel and I wanted to fight. Then I go to the Midday Show with my wife to clarify the case.
“My wife says that this girl is a family friend and that she was a friend of a friend of his. I was very grateful for that, I thank my wife for the three children and this attitude,” he said in defense.
In the end, the impasse went no further and remained in the history of Dominican show business, as recalled Wednesday on the radio show “El Mismo Golpe” broadcast on Zol FM.
Historic call from Luisin Jiménez in El Mismo Golpe with Jochy
THE CONFLICT OVER TWO DECADES AGO
On another related topic: The conversation between Luisín and Jochy turned out to be historic, because it is obvious that there has been a coldness in the relationship between them for more than two decades.
Jochy Santos took the initiative and called Luisín Jimenez after the show El Mismo Golpe reported on Wednesday that he had challenged Vin Diesel at nightclub Praia.
To verify this and make the explanations, we called him.
“But why did it take you so long to call me?” Luisín asked Jochy on the air.
So Irving Alberti, another protagonist on the day they broke up on FM station Rumba, attributed it to him (the connection between them) and the cast thought it was a joke, while Luisín the situation with Vin Diesel explained .
Regarding the painful separation from “Botando el Golpe” that took place at the end of the 90s, it is recalled that Jochy Santos left the Rumba 98.5 FM station in response to an offer from the defunct Baninter bank, a separate business to open Zol 106.5 FM transmitter. (how it happened).
The tensions that arose between the cast of Luisín Jiménez, Raymundo Ortiz, Irving Alberti and Jochy Santos affected the audience, who made it the “curfew” of the afternoons.
At the time, Baninter was investing aggressively in the media in what they called the Dance of the Millions, and Jochy Santos was dancing at full blast.
So he starts again with his program “The same blow with Jochy”. Meanwhile, Luisín and a team continued to run the room on Rumba FM for a few more years, but the friendship between them was never restored. Perhaps Wednesday’s call will forever heal this bitter cold snap and restore a friendship that doesn’t deserve another hit.
