Romina Gaetani Discusses Gender Violence Lawsuit and Reacts to Mirtha Legrand's Comments

Argentine actress Romina Gaetani has spoken publicly about the gender violence lawsuit she filed against her ex-partner, Luis Cavanagh, in December of last year. Appearing on the program "La Noche de Mirtha," Gaetani explained her decision to step away from the spotlight in recent months, focusing instead on her well-being and personal growth.

“

That gave me a lot of peace of mind. I trusted him and I continue to trust him. The case is moving forward, thankfully.

Gaetani expressed deep trust in her lawyer, Ignacio Trimarco, who is handling the case. "That gave me a lot of peace of mind. I trusted him and I continue to trust him. The case is moving forward, thankfully," she stated. She also clarified that she was not married to Cavanagh, adding with a laugh, "Thank God."

During the conversation, host Mirtha Legrand inquired about Gaetani's emotional state during the relationship. "I was in love. Yes, of course," the actress admitted. When Legrand noted the 18-year age difference between them, Gaetani responded matter-of-factly, "I like older men. Always, since I was a child."

I was in love. Yes, of course.

The discussion took a turn when Legrand asked if Cavanagh had mistreated her. Before Gaetani could fully explain the progression towards physical violence, Legrand interjected, "But you are tough too." This comment visibly surprised Gaetani, who asked, "Why do you say that?" Legrand explained she had read that Gaetani was "tough." "Yes, many people might say I'm tough, but they don't know me. No, no, no. Not at all," Gaetani asserted.

I like older men. Always, since I was a child.

Gaetani then elaborated on her experience, describing how she came to understand what she had endured. "I once heard a victim of physical violence speak, and when you live it firsthand, you say, 'Exactly, I feel recognized in that phrase and in all the ones you hear because they all coincide, with how one is left in post-traumatic stress after experiencing such an event,'" she explained. She emphasized that the accounts of victims of psychological, emotional, economic, or physical violence share common threads, making it clear when someone is not lying.
