Catherine Fulop Joins Viral TikTok Celebrating Reported U.S. Detention of Maduro

Her Instagram post reflects diaspora jubilation over the intervention, fueling debate over foreign involvement.

Overview

  • On January 11, the Venezuelan-born actress posted an Instagram video dancing in a bikini to the trending track Los comunistas ¿Dónde están? with the caption, “¿Dónde están? Un poquito de humor en esta mañana hermosa. ¡Venezuela libre!”
  • The song’s lyrics include the line “Maduro está en una cárcel federal,” a refrain tied to media reports that U.S. forces detained Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores in Caracas earlier this month.
  • Fulop appeared with a Venezuelan flag scarf and leaned into the meme that surged on TikTok after the reported operation, helping push the challenge into wider circulation.
  • In earlier comments, she backed U.S. involvement and echoed Donald Trump’s assertion that the United States would be “in charge” to ensure an orderly transition in Venezuela.
  • Family and peers amplified the moment as Ova Sabatini shared her post, Oriana Sabatini signaled support on X, and musician Carlos Baute cast the reported detention as a step toward freedom.
