In a bold move, Flor de Cuba has filed a defamation lawsuit against Alexander Otaola in Miami, accusing him of tarnishing her reputation with baseless allegations on social media. The influencer, accompanied by her attorney at the law office handling her case, addressed her followers in a video statement.
"For several years now, I have been the target of a defamation campaign primarily led by Alexander Otaola. He has repeatedly made false accusations against me, including claims that I am an agent of the Cuban State Security, involved in human trafficking, money laundering, that I served as a sex worker for the Cuban government, participated in U.S. visa corruption, and that I am a communist with hidden political agendas," the influencer explained.
Flor de Cuba emphasized that these claims are completely untrue and have severely damaged her reputation online, resulting in psychological stress, internet hate, bullying, and even death threats or boycotts against her personal life and any businesses she's associated with.
In her statement, she made it clear that this legal action is not about revenge or creating a media spectacle but about seeking justice and ensuring respect for her rights. Many of her followers expressed their support in the comments section: "It's time to put him in his place"; "Finally, someone is taking action"; "That man needs to face consequences"; "Imagine if Otaola gets deported, I'd throw a party"; "Do to him what he does to others, well done"; "Now you're in trouble, Otaola, someone will finally stand up to you."
