The Cuban influencer Claudia Artiles reignited social media after responding strongly to those who criticize her for undergoing cosmetic surgery. Her honesty and confidence sparked a debate on TikTok that combined admiration, envy, and plenty of gossip.

In her video, Claudia was clear and direct: "It's unbelievable how women attack each other on platforms instead of supporting one another. She's calling me stupid. No, my dear, the stupid one is the one who stays the same out of fear of what others will say. I get surgery because I want to, because I can, and because I feel like it."

The words of the content creator did not go unnoticed. While some users accused her of contradicting herself —remembering that she had previously said she wouldn't undergo surgery— others strongly defended her. “Those who can, do, and those who can't, criticize,” a supporter wrote to her in a tone of encouragement.

Among the most recurring comments, several mentioned Amanda, Ultrack's ex, suggesting that Claudia tries to resemble her. However, Artiles' fans quickly responded: "She has nothing to envy Amanda; she's prettier and has more charisma," wrote a user.

True to her relaxed style and sense of humor, Claudia did not let the controversy affect her. “It doesn't affect me; I enjoy all of this, but someone else with so much hate would go crazy,” she commented with laughter, making it clear that she does not intend to stop because of what others say.

The influencer also confirmed that she will undergo liposuction very soon, a procedure with which she hopes to feel more comfortable with her body after motherhood. “I don't have the date yet, but I’m excited,” she confessed, accompanied by heart emojis and smiling faces, showing her enthusiasm for this new stage.

Amid criticisms, praise, and messages of support, Claudia remains true to herself and more confident than ever. “There’s no filter or surgery that can fix envy,” she declared. And, as it stands, her followers agree: she won’t be dimmed by anything or anyone.
