Leire Martínez, now former singer of La Oreja de Van Gogh, decided to sit down and speak for the first time in detail about the controversy caused by the statement that separated him from the group in which he has remained for 17 years. He did it this Wednesday in the new season of I stay with mea format from Mediaset’s on-demand content platform dedicated to mental health. In this space, the singer retraces a journey through the most difficult moments of her life and explains her departure from Van Gogh’s La Oreja. “Common sense tells you that if I didn’t sign the group’s statement, it’s because I probably didn’t agree with it,” he explains in preview of the next opus.
“Amaia Montero has nothing to do with what happened behind closed doors in this group, let’s leave her alone,” explains Martínez, emphasizing that she is “no one’s rival” and that she doesn’t plan to “be part of other people’s wars.” A declaration of intentions that distances her from the constant comparison and public rivalry with the first singer of the group, with whom she explains that she does not have bad relations: “Amaia and I have never been friends , we were colleagues and I admire him deeply.
In addition to hinting that she disagreed with the statement the group released on October 14, the singer also opened up about all the years she was a part of the group. “If anyone believes that in 17 years of living together, everything has been wonderful…” says the artist. A result that Martínez would have refused to talk about in depth and which he refuses to continue talking about: “If I speak, a lot of ugly things will be generated. “I was a little unconscious, I was moving forward without thinking anything.”
The artist not only spoke about the process of separating La Oreja from Van Gogh. Also on his personal life, his childhood and the turbulent relationship between his parents, which would have conditioned his personal development and the first years of his adult life.
According to Leire Martínez, one of the tasks that cost him the most throughout his life was “setting limits”. Something that would have made “almost every aspect” of his life, like “family, relationships, or work,” difficult. The first of the episodes, and the only one currently available, revolves around her childhood and her relationship with her parents, who separated when she was 5 years old. “I grew up with a suffering father who was going through a terrible time and a wounded mother whom I perceived with a lot of pain, but also with anger,” he says.
A separation which will condition the first steps of his adult life, having to emancipate himself from his home at just 17 years old: “I emancipated myself very quickly, not because I wanted to, but out of necessity.” Faced with the pain of a separation and complicated years of life, Martínez recounts one of the first moments when she says she felt “loved”, when she was welcomed by a family to help her take care of the children. “Children gave me love without me asking for it. He made me feel like the most important person. This was the beginning of my healing. “Unknowingly, they played a key role in my life and recovery. »
The former singer of La Oreja de Van Gogh will continue to speak during the rest of the episodes of I stay with meand will do it with the help and support of Andrea Vicente, psychologist specialized in emotional relationships, self-esteem and emotional management. There will be four episodes in which the Guipuzcoan singer will open up emotionally with a deep reflection on her personal and professional journey.
