Cristian Castro's concert at the National Auditorium took an unexpected turn when the audience reacted negatively to the appearance of journalist Pati Chapoy. While Castro praised her as a friend before introducing her, the crowd responded with boos and jeers, a stark contrast to the expected applause. Castro, who has had a busy period including graduating high school and releasing a metal album, attempted to downplay the audience's reaction, saying, "That's applause too, that's applause too, Pati." Chapoy, standing and smiling, acknowledged the mixed reception. The public's disapproval of Chapoy appeared linked to recent controversies. Her colleague Pedro Sola had made remarks about intolerance towards dogs, suggesting a desire to poison them, which Chapoy had laughed at. This incident, along with Chapoy's own questioning about not apologizing for her reaction, seemed to influence the auditorium's response. Verรณnica Castro, Cristian's mother and a well-known actress, was also present, enjoying the performance from the front row. Chapoy's presence at the concert, and her prior interactions regarding Sola's comments, contributed to the viral moment, highlighting the lingering impact of public discourse on media personalities.
That's applause too, that's applause too, Pati.
