"Anita, darling, you've gone a long way. I know love is blind, but yours is blind, crazy, and communist, babe." With these words, Cuban TikToker @yasmymontes reacted to the revelation of the romance between Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido Cuesta, stepson of Miguel Díaz-Canel. In a video full of sarcasm, Yasmy joined the wave of criticism that has flooded social media following the confirmation of the actress's relationship with someone from the Cuban regime's inner circle.
Yasmy did not hold back: "The point isn't whether you like the man or not, but that he is Díaz-Canel's stepson, the advisor to the Cuban dictator. That's not what you said on Saturday Night Live. Anita, tell me the truth, did Muma introduce you to him that day of the fetecún?"
The TikToker even suggested, ironically, a strategy for him to escape the avalanche of criticism he has faced: “Release a news statement, go on a U.S. program and say it wasn’t you, it was your evil twin. Because, girl, that guy is allied with the Cuban dictatorship. Saying Díaz-Canel is a jerk and saying he is the same thing. Don't bring trouble on yourself.”
The video has sparked comments ranging from humor to disappointment. One user joked, “Not even Marilyn Monroe dared to go that far,” while another added, “After all that swimming, they drowned on the shore.” Some expressed their dissatisfaction: “With so many heartthrobs in Hollywood, and you’re focused on Díaz-Canel's stepson?” Yasmy, for her part, responded to the jokes with phrases like: “They sold you a cat instead of a hare” and “A minute of silence for Anita.”
The romance between Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido Cuesta was confirmed by the Spanish magazine ¡HOLA!, which published photos of the couple strolling and kissing in Madrid.
The news has sparked a wave of criticism not only on social media but also from public figures like Yordenis Ugás and Los Pichy Boys. The uproar has been so significant that Ana de Armas decided to limit comments on her Instagram account.
