This week is proving to be difficult for Bárbara Rey and those closest to her. Tonight, at the premiere of Friday! on Telecinco, her son Ángel Cristo García will be present to give a dense interview. There, he will talk about a multitude of issues: from her childhood to her mother's relationship with King Emeritus Juan Carlos, a matter that she had not spoken about until now. However, her family has received a hard blow hours before the broadcast.
Sofía Cristo, the actress's other daughter, confirmed this morning in Espejo Público the death of her uncle Salvador, Bárbara's brother. The news has fallen suddenly on the morning show presented by Susanna Griso, after she was affected by announcing it without prior notice. Sofía was present on the program to present the first episode of her podcast, Addicts and Neurotics, which featured her mother as her guest to talk about her problem gambling.
“I don't have the day today. He called me my mother and my uncle died right now,” Cristo confessed live. “I feel bad for my mother, I'm sorry. I just talked to my aunt and I'm broken for her. It seems that everything comes together. Not because my uncle is gone, because he was sick and struggling...”, he highlighted. Her uncle Salvador had been dealing with cancer for six years, and Barbara herself had frequently moved to Murcia, where she resides, to be able to take care of her.
“I'm fine and I'm doing well, I have a fantastic life and I've worked hard... But there are things that hurt and this now... It's because of her, because for my mother I can't explain what it means and I don't want to see her suffer. What I want is for my mother to be calm about how she has done it with my uncle and his family. May she not have any feeling of guilt. “She has always done it well,” she said, trying to contain herself and continue with the interview despite the news.
The interview in Espejo Público has also brought to light complicated moments in his life, such as some statements from his mother in which she acknowledged having suffered abuse from her father, Ángel Cristo. “This week is like too many things. How many times do you not cover things to protect people who are abusive because they do not cause harm, out of fear, because you still love them…”, Sofía Cristo explained in the face of this complicated situation.
“The capacity for forgiveness is the greatest thing that life can give you, but sometimes there comes a time when one gets tired of forgiving. You can forgive but you also have to let things go,” she added, without giving additional explanations about possible contact with his father. There have also been no direct questions about the interview with her brother, but the negative feeling of the entire week has permeated the atmosphere.
