The actress Erika Buenfil She broke the silence for the first time and recounted everything she suffered when she became a single mother almost twenty years ago, because before it was not well seen to have a child out of wedlock or for a woman to raise her child alone.

“I paid for my sin, I went to restaurants that took me out or put me on a table where they didn’t see me, because what a shame!” he added.
Despite the accusations and the rejection of some, the 58-year-old artist assured that having her little one was the only important thing and the criticism did not matter too much; especially since she comes from a conservative family where marriage is extremely important and fundamental to creating a family.
“But it was never compensated when I was sitting in a supermarket with my son in the cart and I never cared what people said about me. I came from a very traditional family, in fact they are still very traditional, marriage as a brand or how it is, who knows what it is how it is? Nobody knows what it is, that is, there is no rule, things have changed and maybe the only thing I did was to get ahead of the times,” he said.
Despite the fact that she raised her son without any support from Ernesto Zedillo Jr., the so-called “Queen of TikTok” assured that she does not hold any grudge against him.
“The fact of impotence hurt me, like now what do I do? You ask yourself a thousand times, but I grabbed the bull by the horns, it’s going to sound a little crazy, but it has been the best gift of a boyfriend , there is no jewel, there is no car or anything that compares with the joy of having had such a beautiful son, and apart from that, it had to be, “he concluded.
