Cuban actor Adrián Di Monte abruptly left the radio program "Shanik en Fórmula" after a co-host confronted him with a leaked audio recording from years prior, in which he made controversial statements about women. Di Monte, who was invited to the show to discuss his new play "Divorciémonos, mi amor," felt the interview shifted inappropriately to his past remarks.

I don't want him, I don't want him, because he said that women should be killed, because we should be quiet.

Co-host Analu Salazar expressed her disapproval of Di Monte's past comments, stating, "I don't want him, I don't want him, because he said that women should be killed, because we should be quiet." This remark created an uncomfortable atmosphere, with Di Monte's wife, Nuja Amar, intervening to defend him and express her own discomfort.

Amar stated, "It seems like a lack of respect, especially for me. One must be consistent with what one defends and says. It's out of context; we didn't come for this. We came to promote the play, talk about nice things, and if not, we'll get up and leave without any problem, truly, out of politeness."

It seems like a lack of respect, especially for me. One must be consistent with what one defends and says. It's out of context; we didn't come for this.

Di Monte later explained his decision to leave, stating that he and his wife did not feel welcome. He compared the situation to inviting guests into one's home, emphasizing the importance of making them feel comfortable. Despite the unpleasant encounter, Di Monte stated he was not angry but felt it was best to leave when the reception was not as expected, prioritizing the promotion of his theatrical project.

If I invite you to my house, if I tell you 'hey, come over, let's have a coffee,' I am there to take care of you, so you feel good in my environment, in our house, and make you feel welcome. We did not feel welcome, so we got up and left.
