Victoria Ruffo Criticizes Eugenio Derbez Amid Family Mourning
Table of Contents
A wave of public commentary has emerged following the death of Gabriela Michel, mother of Aislinn Derbez, with Victoria Ruffo offering a pointed critique of her former partner, Eugenio Derbez, and his financial support for their son, José Eduardo. While many have expressed condolences, Ruffo’s statements focus on past grievances and highlight a perceived disparity in support offered during challenging times.
A Lack of Public Condolences
The passing of Gabriela Michel has prompted an outpouring of grief from within the entertainment industry, but notably, several of Eugenio Derbez’s former partners remained silent. Alessandra Rosaldo was the sole ex-partner to publicly mourn Michel’s death, sharing an emotional photograph and expressing support for Aislinn, Michele, and Chiara. “We lived with her (Gabriela Michel) on several occasions, and of course We are shocked, sad and accompanying Aislinn, Michele and Chiara in this very difficult time,” Rosaldo declared to Carlos Banda for the Televisa Espectáculos cameras.
Ruffo Recalls Past Financial Struggles
In a recent interview, Ruffo did not address the current mourning period directly, but instead revisited past experiences with Derbez, specifically regarding financial contributions towards their son, José Eduardo. She recounted a situation where Derbez allegedly offered a minimal amount of money, prompting a comparison to a popular song lyric. “I still wanted change, well it’s not possible, it’s Chava Flores’ song ‘There I’ll leave you this $3, still give me change please’, I already forgot, I already forgot the bad things, we have to leave them out,” Ruffo stated with a touch of irony.
A History of Self-Reliance
Ruffo emphasized her own work ethic and financial independence, stating she began working at the age of 16 to support her family. “I started working at 16 years old, between my mother and I we ran a house, my sisters’ schools, I am used to working, my mother taught me to be thrifty,” she explained, suggesting a contrast between her self-sufficiency and the financial support she received from Derbez. This statement underscores a narrative of personal responsibility and resilience in the face of limited assistance.
The timing of Ruffo’s comments, coinciding with a period of family grief, has drawn attention to the complex dynamics within the Derbez family and the lingering impact of past relationships.
