Rodrigo ‘Gato’ Cuba Backs Off Controversial ‘Like’ as Melissa Paredes Demands Clarification

Melissa says Cuba called the reaction a mistake following her public complaint over their daughter’s haircut.

Overview

  • Paredes criticized that Cuba cut their daughter Mía’s hair during a Disney trip without consulting her and then took the child to a salon to correct the cut.
  • After Paredes confronted him and shared excerpts of their chats, Cuba told her the social‑media 'like' endorsing a claim that she 'paints' the child’s hair was accidental.
  • Cuba removed the 'like' as a retraction, while Paredes urged him to clarify publicly that the insinuation about dyeing the child’s hair was false.
  • Online backlash has targeted Cuba and, to a lesser extent, his partner Ale Venturo, who posted reflective messages but has not directly addressed the criticism.
  • Some outlets circulated an older video of Paredes discussing hair tangles to challenge her account, as she also noted that decisions such as giving the child a phone were coordinated with the father.
