The Cuban communicator Alexander Otaola reacted on his show Cubans Around the World to the defamation lawsuit that the influencer Flor de Cuba filed against him in a Miami court. Otaola dismissed the legal action and stated that he has a team of lawyers handling any legal matters against him.
"I know that Flor de Cuba is out there saying that she is going to sue me. I have lawyers who handle all legal matters; I work with a legal department that covers everything.", the host stated, downplaying the complaint.
Otaola also accused Flor de Cuba of seeking free promotion at his expense and made it clear that he is not willing to give them visibility. "I will not echo any promotion from any lawyer who is desperately trying to get attention. For a business to advertise with me, they have to pay a ticket," he stated.
In his statement, the communicator joked about the possibility of the lawsuit succeeding and assured that he is not worried about the legal process. "When the lawsuit is filed, which I highly doubt, I will present it here. In the meantime, the only lawyers that will represent you are mine. They haven't lost a single case of all those who have represented me," he emphasized.
Flor de Cuba announced her lawsuit in a video alongside her lawyer, Karel Suárez, stating that Otaola has harmed her reputation for years with unfounded accusations. According to the influencer, the communicator has falsely labeled her as a state security agent of the Cuban government, being involved in prostitution and money laundering, and having hidden political interests.
Otaola stated that this legal action is part of a strategy to drain him and that it does not affect him in the slightest. "I knew the lawsuits were coming this year one after another because the intention is to wear me down, the intention is to try to distract me. I am calm; I have lawyers who work hard and a lot. Therefore, I can be and sleep completely peacefully," he concluded.
