Alexander Otaola dedicated harsh words this Friday to the actor and comedian Alexis Valdés, after he criticized and insulted him in a video through his character "Cristinito".
The influencer's statements were made during his show Hola Ota-Ola on YouTube. He not only discredited the content of the comedy sketch by Alexis Valdés, but also pointed out that his messages had a clear homophobic tone.
"Alexis, when you have to keep repeating 'I am an artist, I am an artist', what you are trying to do is tell people how they should see you. You are an elderly person practically retired. You were, you achieved, but you today are a memory,” Otaola said.
Visibly upset, the presenter sharply criticized Valdés' recent work and his artistic performance. "Your work Huevos is garbage; everyone who goes to the theater says so," he added.
About the recent video of Cristinito, he specified: "What you do to me in disguise is Alexis, with a wig and glasses. Your character isn’t here. You’re losing the character because you’re older now and you don’t have the artistic control to maintain a character."
Otaola emphasized the homophobic nature he detected in the words of the character Cristinito, who in the video says: “You are obsessed with me. Dude, I’m not your type, I’m even of legal age... To see a furious grouper, I go to the aquarium.”
For the influencer, these comments are not just satire, but a direct attack and defamation, masking insults with humor.
The Valdés video quickly went viral and was a satirical takedown of Otaola. From his character, the actor delivered lines such as: “I am an artist, a creator, not a content creator.”
The closing of the video included a sarcastic musical verse: “The turbaned crazy woman was born with a broken wing, and after being a militant, now she wants to be a patriot.”
Reactions came swiftly. Some support Valdés for "putting Otaola in his place." Others believe his words crossed the line and that the personal attacks went too far.
Otaola suggested that he might pursue legal action against Alexis Valdés for the things he says in that "humorous video." The exchange between the two has reignited the digital debate within the Cuban community.
