Mexican Deputy Recounts Severe Impact of Online Hate After Ageist Remarks

Puebla local deputy Nay Salvatori has broken her silence following a significant controversy sparked by discriminatory remarks made about older adults on her podcast "DesCasadas." The backlash led to the program's cancellation and the precautionary suspension of her party rights by Morena.

I didn't even want to wake up anymore.

Salvatori described the intense online hate as profoundly impacting her mental health. "I didn't even want to wake up anymore," she admitted, recounting how the sheer volume of criticism prompted her to step away from social media. The "Señora de Las Lomas," as she is known, reappeared on Instagram to discuss the repercussions, acknowledging that she had made a mistake.

Beyond the public criticism, Salvatori revealed the personal toll the scandal took on her loved ones, who also faced attacks. She recounted receiving threats and even discovering that individuals were allegedly offering money to find her home's location with the intent to harm her. This led to intense fear and emotional distress, pushing her to the brink of taking antidepressants.

I have always been a woman who faces things and assumes the consequences of her actions.

However, Salvatori framed the ordeal as a transformative period. She stated that with time, she began to re-evaluate the situation, viewing it as an opportunity for personal growth. She now emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, both in asking for it and in learning to grant it after enduring difficult experiences. The incident has prompted her to reconsider various aspects of her life and strengthen her character.

There were people who, through social media, were offering money in exchange for my address to come and hurt me. I received many threats.
