The model Carlo Costanzia has decided to take a step forward and face all of Spain with an interview on the Espejo Público program. The actor, known for his role in the Toy Boy series and for being the son of Mar Flores, has spoken with Susanna Griso about the prison sentence he is facing, as well as how he feels with all the media coverage of his entry into prison.
After a long legal process, the Provincial Court of Malaga handed down a sentence and sentenced the 30-year-old man to 21 months in prison for a continued crime of aggravated fraud. Although Spanish legislation establishes mandatory imprisonment for those convicted with a sentence of more than two years and in this case the sentence is less, the judge denied the suspension of the sentence: "The convicted are not deserving of the benefit of suspension of the execution of the custodial sentence imposed, since it is not about primary or specific offenders".
The actor, even knowing that his participation in the Atresmedia television space will give a lot to talk about, wanted to sit down with Griso and explain that his life has always been marked by the fame of his mother, Mar Flores.
The young man has explained that he faced many problems in childhood and adolescence, such as bullying, depression or addiction to alcohol and drugs: "I have had addiction and drug problems. I have been in a rehabilitation problem eight months. I have been in therapy. When I commit these crimes I am not in my right mind. I have needed the help of psychologists... I have lived in a bubble of depression".
The young man explained that he developed mental health problems from a very young age because he went to an Opus school where they beat him and insulted him. He has also left those present on the set speechless when he has confessed that he started taking substances very young: ''I had my first contact with substances when I was 10 years old. I start with alcohol, tobacco, hashish and then in my adolescence I hit rock bottom''.
The young man has also recounted with emotion that he has thought about taking his own life on more than one occasion: "There are days when I do not get out of bed. I have a certain social panic." Constanzia has gotten ahead thanks to the support of her parents, who helped her overcome her addictions: ''My parents are very proud that I have overcome all this. They have supported me at all times. My father has been at the foot of the canyon.''
The viewers of the Antena 3 program have been very surprised to see the intimate tone of the interview with Constanzia, since there is a sentence that states that he is a criminal who has defrauded many people and is about to go to prison. Many Internet users have criticized the attitude of the presenter and think that the man does not deserve any type of image wash.
''If you hadn't done anything you wouldn't have been sentenced, so pay up, posh kid'', ''What a cleanup they are doing to your image…'', ''So, the judge was wrong, right?'' ' or '''Poor little boy' come on Teresa Bueyes'' are some of the comments that can be read on platforms such as Twitter.
