This Wednesday, Cuatro kicked off the new season of Traveling with Chester. Risto Mejide welcomed Edmundo Arrocet, better known as Bigote Arrocet, a popular comedian who became famous as a result of his courtship with María Teresa Campos.
However, their controversial breakup, apparently through WhatsApp, disrupted the image of Arrocet. Now, he returns to television to tell how he feels and to reveal the reason why he did not attend the funeral of the veteran journalist, who was his romantic partner for several years.
This is one of the most intimate interviews given by Edmundo Arrocet to a television program, and one of the most anticipated, especially after the death of María Teresa Campos. In fact, much of the conversation between the guest and Risto Mejide revolved around his relationship with the communicator.
“Ours was not a here I catch you, here I kill you, we got to know each other very little by little, at that age we were no longer willing to waste time,” he assured.
And he did not hesitate to explain the details of what his relationship with Campos was like. “I am a nocturnal animal, I could fall asleep perfectly at three in the morning painting, writing, thinking about it, sometimes she would accompany me and we would spend hours talking, telling each other our lives and sometimes crying together,” he explained. .
But there came a time when everything began to go wrong. According to him, by people outside of them who began to interfere. “They appeared omniscient and omnipresent around us, people that I had seen once in my life and who spoke about us as if they had been living with us in the house,” he said.
And he clarified something that spread like wildfire: whether or not he left the journalist through a WhatsApp message. “I did not leave Teresita because of a message, I have said that many times and I will continue to say it, it has been said that it was because of a problem of infidelity and that is not true, I was never unfaithful to her. “I have never spoken badly of Teresa and I never will,” she clarified.
The couple's relationship was diluted due to the bad relationship with Campos' daughters, to whom he claimed to have lent money. “I have left money for Teresita; I have left money for Terelu, money that she has returned to me; I have found a job for Carmen's husband; I have found a job for Alejandrita, aren't you interested in talking about those?" she said.
And he acknowledged that it hurts him to hear María Teresa Campos' daughters speaking badly about him and saying that the journalist suffered being by his side. “Who are they to say that if the mother said that she was happy with me? In the end I had to give an interview to answer all the atrocities that had been said about me, if I don't defend myself, who is going to defend me? "He snapped.
One of the unknowns that still remained to be revealed was the reason why Edmundo did not attend María Teresa's funeral. What prevented him from saying goodbye to his partner for six years? “I wasn't here, I was in Peru and I had to go to Chile for some documents that I had to solve,” he began explaining.
"The flight was delayed, but if it hadn't been like that I would have come here earlier, although I don't know if I would have gone to the funeral because comments would surely have been made, if you go because you go, if you don't go because you don't go, damn it." everywhere”, he wanted to settle.
But Risto Mejide did not fully understand the explanations (or justifications) that the guest was trying to give him. “Regardless of that, if that woman in your life has meant something to you, you come to say goodbye to her,” the Cuatro presenter told him. To which Arrocet concluded with: “But four years had already passed without being with her!”
