Mexican actress Cecilia Tijerina has publicly denounced television host Pedro Sola for his recent remarks about disliking dogs in public spaces and suggesting they be poisoned. Tijerina, known for her roles in "La rosa de Guadalupe," took to Facebook to express her dismay, recalling a past incident where Sola described her as "a little crazy."
Years ago, after I worked on the telenovela 'La verdad oculta,' Pedro Sola spoke about me: โShe is a very good actress, only she is a little crazy, she once gave us a very strange interview.โ I even thanked him for the comment.
"Years ago, after I worked on the telenovela 'La verdad oculta,' Pedro Sola spoke about me: 'She is a very good actress, only she is a little crazy, she once gave us a very strange interview.' I even thanked him for the comment," Tijerina wrote. She contrasted her past acceptance of his criticism with her current stance, stating, "Now, I prefer to be crazy than to be someone like him."
Tijerina also appeared to criticize Pati Chapoy, a figure associated with Sola's show "Ventaneando," for laughing at Sola's comments about dogs. "I tell him, 'If you are sane, I prefer to be 'a little crazy.' And I tell the other one, 'You are the ones who need to go to the psychologist.' It is not normal to have so much hatred for innocent beings who only give us love and want to poison them. And you agree with him and even find it funny that he is inciting people to commit a crime,'" Tijerina stated.

The actress's comments have garnered significant attention online, with her Facebook post receiving thousands of likes and numerous supportive comments. Some users, like Julianna Maldonado, agreed that dogs are superior to people like Sola. Another user, Patricia McClen, suggested Sola's apology was insincere, likely made to avoid professional repercussions. This public spat follows Tijerina's recent resurfacing in the media after she spoke out about alleged mistreatment from cast members of the 1990s telenovela "Muchachitas," where she co-starred with actresses like Kate del Castillo.
