La Cotorrisa Doubles Down on Press Parody as Reporters Boo Susana Zabaleta in CDMX

The comedians describe the sketch as a preplanned critique of the celebrity beat, calling the reaction proof of their point.

Overview

  • In their latest podcast, Ricardo Pérez and José Luis Slobotzky said they set a “trap” for entertainment reporters and celebrated the angry responses.
  • They said the parody was conceived before Susana Zabaleta’s near-fall at an airport and called involving her the only mistake.
  • Several entertainment journalists reacted on air and online, with some threatening to stop giving the duo promotional coverage.
  • Reports conflict on what comes next: Milenio cites the pair calling the piece a one-off section, while Publimetro quotes them saying similar content will continue.
  • At Mexico City’s airport Monday, reporters staged a protest and booed Zabaleta, who said her career is separate from Pérez’s issues and declined to discuss infidelity rumors.
