Julio Camejo criticized victims of sexual abuse: “You always had the opportunity to say no”

After Sasha Sokol reported that Luis de Llano violated her when she was a minor, several artists have also decided to talk about abuses they have experienced. Such was the case of Mauricio Martínez, who waged a legal battle against Toño Berumen after pointing him out of improper touching him during his youth.

It is in this context that actor Julio Camejo took the opportunity to give his point of view regarding and ranted against the victims of sexual abuse who denounce their abusers years later.

“I understand all the people who speak out, welcome, but you always had the chance to say no,” he said in an interview for Venga la Alegría.

Likewise, the Cuban delved into the fact that he did not consider it acceptable for the people affected to tell about the experiences they had gone through years after the event, since he implied that - according to him - because there had been an abuse, the person affected had to give his consent at some point.

“What I don't respect is that if you had it later you go out and talk, not there. If you did, be quiet,” he said.

The member of telenovelas such as Niña de mi corazón or Destilando Amor recalled that he also reported being accused by a producer a few years ago.

“I said to him: 'No brother, I don't think you understand, if there is a nude I do it in the play, but it's not that I come to undress here for you. ' I grabbed my things and left and he said, 'If you do that you will never come to anything' and one day I ran into him head-on on a ladder and said, 'See? I never had to undress for anyone. '”

However, he used this situation to point out that if he could refuse to increase the violence against him, there should be no excuse for others to “allow” abuse and hinted that many of the victims agreed to violence in order to get their respective professional careers off the ground.

“I said no, maybe I had a lead that I never had, but I knew how to say no. Don't win the lead by doing improper things, so that later you say: 'They did that to me' because you paid for that,” he said.
