Mariazel Reveals Facebook Death Threat, Identifies Alleged Sender

Her disclosure renews scrutiny of platform safeguards after an earlier suspension penalized her for posting evidence.

Overview

  • Mexican TV host Mariazel said she received a Facebook message stating her head would soon appear inside a cooler and published the claim on her account this week.
  • She later shared a screenshot in her Facebook stories that showed the threat and identified the account name as Octavio Betancourt.
  • Mariazel reiterated that social networks have become spaces for threats and insults delivered from behind screens without real consequences.
  • She noted she began a legal process eight months ago over prior threats and intends to continue despite the strain.
  • In June 2024, Facebook suspended her profile after she posted proof of earlier abuse, and digital-security experts now argue current sanctions on aggressors are insufficient while victims bear the burden.
