Stephanie Cayo reveals that she suffered bullying at school: “I'm used to it, laugh at what you like”

Peruvian actress Stephanie Cayo decided to use her official Instagram account to answer her dozens of detractors, who have not stopped criticizing her on social networks since the film was released “Until we meet again”, where he shares a leading role alongside the Spanish actor Maxi Iglesias.

But his participation in the film directed by Bruno Acenzo was not the only thing he was criticized for. The singer also went viral on TikTok for confusing Peruvian slang. “Avocado is someone boring,” Stephanie said, causing netizens to accuse her of not knowing the country enough because she resides abroad.

Tired of these harsh questions, the Cayo family member spoke about all the bullying she has been receiving on the Internet in recent days, noting that this is not the first or the last time that someone speaks ill of her because, she confessed, she was bullied as a child.

“Guys, I'm used to being bullied from school. This is not new to me, all my life I have laughed because it has always seemed to me that if they talk about you they are behind you, and one should look forward. Laugh at what you like, I'll laugh at you. Even myself,” she wrote on her platform.

EXPLODES AGAINST TWITTER USERS

Stephanie Cayo's name has been trending on Twitter more than once since the official trailer for “Until We Meet Again” was released. Netizens lashed out at the actress for playing the role of Ariana, an adventurous backpack who falls in love with Salvador (Iglesias) in Cusco. Many considered that an actress with Andean traits would have been a better fit.

The controversy was stoked when Vogue Mexico magazine called her an “Andean actress”, generating all kinds of comments on the platform. Because of this, Cayo spoke on her account to clarify that she did not represent the Andean woman in the film, since she only had the objective of telling one love story. Despite this, the criticism did not stop.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to send a strong message to his' haters': “I respect the criticism of Twitter, I reiterate: get off Twitter and get to work, or make another film. Let's go! We do need that, more Peruvians doing beautiful things for our country. Incentivizing hatred among Peruvians must leave them a big void. You'd better start doing things for yourself...”

“And leave my friend Bruno (Ascenzo) alone, who is a wonderful director and writer. I repeat, if you're going to talk, show me something you've done, that you sacrificed your life, fight for years and then we'll talk. Nobody gave us anything. Get to work,” he added.

FANS CALL FOR STOPPING ATTACKS ON STEPHANIE CAYO

Not all of them were critical for the national artist, as a major group congratulated and flattered her for starring in the first Peruvian film produced by the streaming platform Netflix and many were in favor of the film, as it will put Cusco in the eyes of the world at a cinematic level

“Stephanie Cayo is talented and gorgeous, a pride for her family and Peru...”, "Absurd that Peruvians waste their time fighting over a film in relation to skin color, hair or eyes”, “A film is a fiction, if they want something closer to 'reality' in the cinema, they could watch a documentary”, are some of the posts by users.
