The Cuban actress and comedian Imaray Ulloa posted a reel on her Instagram account with a direct message to women who are afraid to end a relationship, arguing that the real fear is not in letting go, but in staying next to someone who does not value them.
In the 45-second video, Ulloa issued a straightforward warning: "It's more frightening to create a future with an unfaithful man, with a manipulative man, with a narcissistic man."
The message particularly focuses on the consequences of having children within a dysfunctional relationship.
"Can you imagine having children with a man who seeks validation from any woman who crosses his path?" asked the artist, describing that type of relationship as one where "love feels like a constant state of anxiety that generates doubts, where you have to be suspicious, crying, and starting over every week to fix what has already been broken."
Ulloa also appealed to the image of children as witnesses to that unhappiness: "Do you think it's worth it for your children to grow up seeing that unhappy life, where they aren't happy with parents together, who aren't compatible?"
The description of the reel captures the essence of the message in a single phrase: "Don’t be afraid to let go of what has completed its cycle."
The video arrives a day after Ulloa celebrated the sold out of the second performance of his stand-up show "Sin Anestesia: Based on true events that we wish were lies," presented at the Miami Theater, where he turned his own romantic experiences into humorous material.
The content of the reel is set within a period of public reflection by the artist on her romantic relationships, a theme that has been recurring in her material since she announced her separation from Fabián Fontaine on July 29, after approximately five years together.
Both described that breakup as friendly and amicable, and Fontaine himself attended the premiere of "Sin Anestesia" in October, where he praised Ulloa's performance as "masterful."
Although the reel does not explicitly mention or accuse any ex-partners, the reflective and empowering tone contrasts with the humor that defines his well-known character "La Tóxica", with which he satirizes jealousy and control in relationships.
