Renowned Cuban host, Alexander Otaola, has confirmed on his show, Hola Otaola, that his legal team has officially received the defamation lawsuit filed by influencer Flor Danay Hernández, popularly known as Flor de Cuba. The legal action, initiated by attorney Karel Suárez in a Miami court, claims that Otaola has made false and damaging statements that tarnish the plaintiff's public and professional image. Rather than appearing concerned, Otaola welcomed the opportunity for a face-off between the two parties, expressing excitement over the upcoming confrontation. "Finally, we are going to have a face-to-face. Wonderful. I said, when I receive the papers, we'll discuss it," Otaola remarked, promising a more thorough analysis of the case.
The host pointed out what he perceives as inconsistencies in the lawsuit, asserting that "life is a contradiction" where, inevitably, "masks eventually fall." In a bold tone, he claimed that his expertise lies in "unmasking" and that this legal process will only highlight the contradictions of his opponent.
During his broadcast, Otaola featured a video by tiktoker Denis, known for his channel Reflexiones de Denis, who allegedly discovered a contradiction in the legal document. The influencer suggested that this lawsuit is merely an attempt to wear him down, dismissing the judicial proceedings as inconsequential. "I knew the lawsuits would come one after another this year... but I'm calm," he stated, emphasizing that he is backed by a strong legal team in all his endeavors.
Otaola defended himself against the defamation accusations, arguing that referring to Flor de Cuba as "crazy" is not a crime, as she has publicly acknowledged receiving psychiatric treatment and dealing with addictions. He also recalled questioning Flor de Cuba for over eight years, starting with an interview in Diario Las Américas regarding her alleged racist comments towards models in Cuba, which he believes justifies his past and present criticisms.
Recently, Flor de Cuba accused Otaola of falsely associating her with activities such as pimping, money laundering, and collaboration with Cuban State Security, allegations she claims have damaged her mental health and reputation. Despite the media tension, the host reiterated his commitment to keeping his audience informed about the proceedings while maintaining that he has not committed any crime and that his remarks are part of exercising his legitimate right to opinion.
