The controversy surrounding Javier Masías began on September 11, when the food critic published a tweet that was interpreted by many as a mockery of the recent death of the former dictator. Alberto Fujimori The phrase “I will dance on your grave” was perceived as disrespectful to the memory of the former president and his family, which sparked a wave of criticism on social media.
The critic tried to clarify the situation with an ironic tone, pointing out that the coincidence was unfortunate, since he claimed that he was referring to a famous song by the Spanish band Siniestro Total. Following the reaction of users on social networks, many public figures, including the journalist Magaly Medina joined in the criticism of Masías, questioning his attitude and the management of his networks.
Faced with mounting pressure, Latina Televisión issued a statement expressing its disagreement with the statements of its jury, although it did not mention any concrete measures at that time. However, Masías’ absence from the recent recordings has led to the belief that the suspension may already be a fact.
