Otaola announces lawsuit against imitator

The Cuban guyAlexander Otaola announced a lawsuit against actor Yaniel Castillo for damages to his professional work, after he published imitations of the influencer on the internet.

Otaola clarified that the lawsuit is not because they imitated him, but for using his image to publish advertisements on social networks or make reference to companies with which they canceled contracts for supporting the Cuban baseball players who will play in Miami during the World Baseball Classic.

"We're going with everything," said the Cuban in his program El Mañanero. "I said that at any moment the character was going to be grabbed to make promotions for shipments to Cuba, phone calls."

The presenter assured that Castillo and his interpretation of Otaola was activated for Team Asere, the name that the Cuban officialdom uses to refer to the team, made up of players from the National Series and the Major Leagues.

"I told him that I was not going to accept that that would happen and they have grabbed the boy to promote the baseball team. That leads to a lawsuit. That is the herd of elephants up to him and leaving him crushed in the middle of the legal field," he said.

For his part, Castillo shared a publication on his Instagram account in which he expressed alarm, because many were offended and judged for making fun of Otaola, under the protection of American laws.

"Even judging my political position, without knowing anything about me," he added.

This week Castillo and the YouTuber Carnota published a video on social networks, where they made fun of Otaola and recreated a fictitious scene that would take place later this Sunday in Miami, after thematch between Cuba and the United States.

Both wore team Cuba t-shirts and the video was filmed in front of the printing press Yo soy Habana ¿y tú?, which until recently was announced at the Otaola show, although the latter decided to dispense with the contract because it joined the publication of related content. with theTeam Asere.

The controversy began after Yaniel Castillo imitated Alexander Otaola on his program and imitated the way he announces the show's sponsors, something that for many followers is not right.

Otaola interprets this as an interference, something that the imitator denies and relies on creative freedom to make his videos.
