The Cuban influencer Flor de Cuba, who has just arrived in Miami, has faced significant criticism for a photo she took at one point with Sandro Castro, the grandson of Fidel Castro, which has become quite controversial.
Alexander Otaola is one of those who has questioned the ties between Flor de Cuba and Sandro Castro on several occasions, something that the influencer clarified in her first interview in Miami for the podcast "Destino Tolk," with which she has just signed a contract.
"That photo is from when Sandro hired me to do a fashion show for my agency. We held the event in just one day, put on the show, took a photo, and published it for the event's promotion, and that was it. That's the only connection I've had with Sandro my entire life," Flor de Cuba assured.
"That day I met him, we spent time together, and he struck me as very professional. He's a super nice, polite guy, and that's it… Those who truly have connections don't post a photo; those who truly have something to hide don't post a photo," the influencer added. She also mentioned that Alexander Otaola has gone so far as to claim in his fabricated stories that Sandro is the father of his young child.
When asked in the interview what she thinks of those in exile who call her a snitch and claim she is in collusion with the dictatorship, Flor de Cuba responded: “I have never seen anyone working for the State who lives like I do; on the contrary, I believe that those who suffer the most are the most loyal to any political system, the most fanatical. I have no ties; everyone in exile always says the same thing (...) People can't wrap their heads around the idea that in the same place, under the same conditions, I could do something different.”
Meanwhile, Otaola claims that although he has no proof, he believes that Flor de Cuba is a front for Sandro Castro.
