This Monday, October 28, the Harper’s Bazaar Woman of the Year Award 2024and this great event, as is the tradition every year, brought together a multitude of well-known faces from the country’s national and social scene. But also international personalities, like the British actress Elizabeth Hurley (59 years old).
However, during the gala, one name stood out among the others, that of Ester Exposito (24). The performer of the band The tears took to the awards stage and sang a powerful and necessary speech. Ester is angry because in recent days we have been talking about her physique again. Again, in your case it rains when it rains.
Exposito, unfortunately, is very used to having its name linked to alleged cosmetic touches and physical changes. A few days ago, he went to the TVE space The revoltand social networks – later, also some media – echoed his face, which would have undergone some modifications. And last Monday, Esther has said enough.

“The other day I was reflecting on all the different forms of violence of which women are victims, especially. And I realized how normal it is for a person to hide behind a screen and a social network to criticizing a woman’s body and pointing fingers at her. And today I want to be the one to point the finger at these people and tell them that what they are doing is wrong,” Ester began her speech.
“no reviews, and less publicly, on a person’s physique. And even less so if you don’t know what you’re talking about. And I’m not doing this for myself, since I’ve known what’s going on for years. I took care, with great effort, of acquire the necessary tools handle this kind of situation,” added the actress from series like Elite.

And she adds: “I do it for other people, other girls, who maybe don’t have it, and even if they do, they don’t have to put up with it, just like I don’t. I don’t have to put up with that either. I’m tired and I’m angry, Yeah. Yes, because it turns out that I read the stupidity that I have undergone 50 surgical procedures and cosmetic alterations on my face since the age of 19.
“And I wonder how long I’ll have to keep reading it. The last thing was last week it happened again. Now I stuffed my face, I stretched it with Botox or I don’t know what. If that were the case, I would be within my rights and no stranger should come and ask me anything because I didn’t ask them, because it’s my face and that’s why I do what I want with it,” explains the artist.

He specifies at the end: “It turns out that no, I gained a little weight and that’s it. Because, believe it or not, women, like men, also grow, we change, we gain weight or we lose weight. And in the end I say “Thank God” because that means we are alive and we are not dolls. Yes, we’re not going to stay like this forever, of course.”
At this point in the story, Esther makes a request: “I ask that we stop studying with a magnifying glass, analyze. And to question so exhaustively, especially women, because we never know what they may be experiencing or the reasons which could have caused a supposed physical change.
Remacha Expósito: “And finally, it would be incredible if some media would stop echoing and giving voice to these hoaxes to get the easy click. We, the media, would do a lot of good and help us stop giving opinions like this happily and without precise information on people’s physique. That, at the end, This is another type of violence against women. “This can cause significant psychological wear and tear, among other things, in people who receive it.”
