"The one with money speaks English however they like": Georgina Rodríguez goes viral for her English in a social media video

Georgina Rodríguez sparks reactions on social media with her Spanish-accented English while promoting makeup. Supporters highlight her authenticity and confidence, while critics question her command of the language.


Georgina Rodríguez is once again the talk of the town, and this time it's due to the viral video where she promotes a makeup product for a well-known brand. Beyond her ability to sculpt her features, what truly caught attention was her use of English. With a strong Spanish accent and mixing words in Spanish with phrases like "My cheeks están esculpidas", the model made it clear that, at least in her case, language is not a barrier to communicating with her audience.

However, despite the confidence exuded by Cristiano Ronaldo's partner in the video, there were those who criticized her level of English. “This woman has more than enough resources to speak English perfectly” or “She doesn’t even try to genuinely learn English, iconic,” commented some users.

On the other hand, there were those who came to her defense. “The one with money speaks English however she wants,” commented a follower, reflecting the idea that Georgina doesn’t need to master the language to maintain her status. Another user added: “With the money she has, do you think she cares what we think of her English?”.

There were also voices that applauded the model's attitude and her willingness to speak English without fear of making mistakes. “What I admire about Gio is that she isn't embarrassed to speak; I wish I could be that confident,” expressed a follower. Such comments highlight the confidence that Georgina exudes, as she appears to enjoy her life without worrying too much about external opinions. “I love Georgina; she lives her life without any issues,” said another.

Additionally, there were plenty of humorous comments, including one that says: “No afternun or hallou here, you speak to me in Spanish”, recalling the famous and viral phrase by Ana María Polo on the show Caso Cerrado.

No followers, however, were absent in calling attention to the double standard with which language proficiency is judged. “When foreigners try to speak our language mispronouncing words and with their accent, we all applaud. Why is it criticized when a Hispanic person speaks English and it isn’t perfect?”, reflected a user, sparking a debate about the prejudices against those who speak English as a second language.

In short, Georgina Rodríguez's video not only served to promote a product, but also to reflect the cultural and social impact of her figure. Beyond her English or spanglish, Cristiano Ronaldo's partner shows that what matters is daring to be authentic and, above all, not letting criticism intimidate you. In the words of a follower: “Gio represents me speaking English”.
