Jaime Caravaca intervened this Tuesday in AfternoonAR to talk about the attack he suffered a few days ago during one of his monologues. The comedian, known for his work in La Resistencia, was performing in a Madrid venue when, suddenly, he was surprised by the neo-Nazi Alberto ‘Pugilato’, who physically attacked him on stage. ‘Pugilato’ justified his attack by alluding to the sexual comment that Caravaca had made on social networks about his three-month-old son: “Nothing and no one can prevent the possibility that he is gay, and when he grows up he gets tired of sucking black cock.” After the video of the attack went viral, Caravaca and ‘Pugilato’ publicly sealed peace.
The comedian assured in the Telecinco magazine that he wrote the message about his attacker’s son “in a moment of heat”. “One does not write that coldly and calculatingly, obviously. Come on, I shouldn’t,” acknowledged Caravaca, who published the discord tweet due to “some publications” that he saw on the profile of his attacker. Some publications that “they were not ideological”, but “about something else”.
The comedian also stated that he has received “threats and insults” for his tweet. He also made comments from people offended by his message, which is why he chose to apologize publicly. “for people who may have been affected”. An apology that, in the case of ‘Pugilato’, was accepted. “Yes, he has publicly done it. AND there will be no complaint. There has been an exchange of messages in which what rewards is that there is peace,” she said when asked by Ana Rosa.
The presenter urged him “be more careful” because “those who should reassure us are irritating us enough” to also irritate each other. In fact, she asked him what was going through his mind to write a tweet like that. When Caravaca said that he went for “a hot time,” some of the collaborators told him “well, learn.” Shortly after, Paz Padilla He took the floor to say that the comedian had not written that message “as a comedian, but as a person.” “You wrote it as a comedian because it is your profession, but you would have written the same thing if you were an electrician. You were offended by the things that this man was saying and you, as a human being, reacted perhaps more correctly or less correctly,” he added below.
Sardà: “Black humor does not have to appeal to everyone”
“No, very inaccurate,” Ana Rosa responded before some of her colleagues said that there was no “justification” for such a message. Cristina Tarrega, for example, insisted that Caravaca’s comment was about a three-month-old baby, hence he considered that the comedian had acted “very badly.” Also his aggressor: “It is very wrong that this man also fixes things with his hands.” Mario Vaquerizo, For his part, he claimed “tolerance” as “the party we all have to advocate for”.
Within the discussion table, the one who positioned himself most in favor of Jaime Caravaca was Xavier Sardà. “He was very offended because the other man was very very very homophobic,” the former presenter of Martian Chronicleswho before the criticism of others, vindicated the comedian’s humor: “Forgive me, there is something that has existed for a long time: he has gone too far, but black humor does not have to be liked by ordinary mortals”. “He didn’t use humor there,” Paz Padilla noted, however.
Regarding the moment of the attack, Caravaca said that “of course fear takes over” in a situation like this, especially “because I was not going to do anything about it”: “There was a situation, above all, of uncertainty ”, he added shortly before ending the interview.
