The actor starred in an unfortunate crossbreed of tweets that ended with his public repentance and his departure from the social network.

On September 28, Inma Pilar, film critic, he wrote on Twitter the following comment: “Fernando Tejero’s character in ‘Model 77’ was written for Antonio de la Torre, right?”. Surprisingly, Tejero replied a few days later with a message in which he crossed the line quite a bit: “That says a lot about you, when I don’t like someone I don’t bother to comment on that person, more like you do. You are bitter and frustrated and to your regret very few people think like you. Make it look and respect my work . What are you doing, psychopath? “.

The actor decided on October 3, after the issue exploded in the networks, that He closed his Twitter profile after apologizing for his outburstwhile indicating that his abandonment was not due only to Pilar’s tweet, but to “a comment thread on this social network”. He claims that the comment a “one of his most exciting works of his career” I didn’t take it “In good time” and that’s why he got carried away “for pain and susceptibility”. concludes it “reading comments in delicate moments is not easy” and that “Words can do a lot of damage”. He says goodbye, thanking the support of those who follow him.

“I wish I’d never written those words”

Here’s how it was explained: “Over the course of my career I have received a lot of criticism, both good and bad. Depending on the works criticized and the efforts dedicated, some have struck me more than others. But always, those who know me well, have respected and digested them in the best possible way However, A few days ago I had the misfortune to read a thread of comments on this social network, not an isolated comment as some media have suggested, in which one of the most exciting jobs of my career and my skills has been devalued as an actor. He didn’t catch me in a good time, that’s right. And yes, unfortunately I got carried away by pain and susceptibility and got into the rag, bringing out my worst part. I want to apologize for this, with all my heart, and acknowledge that the one who likes that version of me least is myself. I consider my behavior totally unacceptable, nothing typical of my values ​​or what I stand for in life. I wish I’d never written those words. I love my profession with all my soul and I am also lucky enough to be able to live with it. On most occasions I feel very loved and respected by many people, for whom I consider myself deeply fortunate. At the same time, I am also completely exposed to the opinions and publications of others, very unfavorable and at the same time very unpleasant. Without pretending to justify myself, I want to express to you how difficult it is to live with this in the less beautiful days. I am a vulnerable and sensitive human being, with my lights and shadows, like everyone else, ultimately. Reading certain comments about me in delicate moments is not easy, I assure you. I feel that sometimes people forget that human beings are under public figures and that certain words can do a lot of damage. As proof, my reaction, for which again and to say goodbye I apologize and decide to leave this social network permanently. A sincere and true thanks to the people who follow me and appreciate me. Your gestures of love and support are very important to me. Hugs”.
