The actress assured that, although she regrets what she wrote, the case of Nicolás López, which is currently in court, should be kept in the debate. “It’s a shame that compañeras want to reaffirm that system where women are judged,” she pointed out.
After making news for her statements against Paz Bascuñán’s triumph at the Caleuche awards, the actress and singer Geraldine Neary, also known as Dindi Jane, expressed on social networks his regret in treating the protagonist of Demented as “a bad person”.
“Truly i regret saying that. He made me angry that they gave him the award now for political and personal issues, ”he pointed out in one of his stories, later emphasizing that“ everyone has the right to defend the cause they want ”.
“The truth, I spoke very passionately, frustrated with myself because I was on that podium and I was left with the feeling that we had to say something and we didn’t,” said the actress in conversation with BiobioChile.
The interpreter, who is currently working on the series The prisoners playing Jacqueline Fresard (one of the founders of the Las Cleoplatas collective), she admits that she has received both supportive and critical comments due to the debate generated by the current situation in the entertainment world.
Thus, she was able to see that while some people praised her for her sayings, “they also treated me with little sorora”, although the artist defended what she wrote, pointing out that “regardless of whether she is a woman or a man, We are dealing with a person accused of rape and people who defend himdespite all the information that is outside”.
A story from the emotions
Neary assured that, although she participated in the elaboration of her speech, shortly after she was dissatisfied with her words. Specifically, she explained that “I felt disoriented, disconnected” having the opportunity to accommodate the current situation in the Chilean entertainment world.
“We come from that dark history that is Nicolás López and the directors accused of rape and sexual harassment. So I thought: ‘oh, how silly’, because everything was too late for me, ”he narrated.
It was then that early the next day, amid the frustration of what she experienced that night, the actress released her vent.
“I am very emotional because I don’t think well before speaking, or I don’t do things in a better way, And that tends to get me in trouble.”he confessed, explaining that although he regrets treating Bascuñán as a bad person, he does not retract the rest of his sayings.
“What I wanted to say at the ceremony was that I wanted to thank those who denounced and spoke”Explain.
According to the interpreter, thanks to this group of women “there have been concrete changes. Today it is very important to uniteThat is why it is sad that compañeras want to reaffirm that system where women are judged crazy, exaggerated, weepy, victims who do not deserve a place and with which we have been fighting for a long time.
“In the end, when I was on stage, I didn’t say what I should have said because it occurred to me late and then seeing Paz Bascuñán winning an award… It was like an accumulation of sensations.” admits. It was then that “a need arose and I published everything I felt, without thinking that it would end up being something of a stir.”
The mea culpa after comments to Paz Bascuñán
In any case, after her statements about her colleague, Paz Bascuñán, Geraldine Neary makes her own mea culpa. “It is not as if Paz Bascuñán nominates herself or gives herself the award. The problem with Paz Bascuñán is what he did: do not support and go against the actresses who spoke against their friend (Nicolás López)”, he pointed out.
“The truth is that I feel guilty saying that she is a bad personBecause I don’t believe in that either. Only that there is justice and political struggles and everyone has the right to defend the cause they want”Explain.
“I also think a lot of people, including myself, believe what we want to believe. So from that place there are people who want to believe and will believe that Nicolás López is innocent”he points out, noting that now the only thing left to do is “see what happens in Justice.”
“The most important of all is the case of Nicolás López, which is now going through the courts. As well it’s a drag that they get distracted in this ‘actress fight’ or that wave of ‘the picá because he won a prize’. It is a drag that what stands out is a quarrel between women, ”she closes.
