Overview
- During her Icónica tour stop at Arena Monterrey on Dec. 17, Yuri said the on-camera kisses with Ricky Martin in the 1991 video for “Todo mi Corazón” were real and passionate.
- She added, “Dios mío, ¿por qué ya todos los guapos son guapas?... Ricky Martin se nos fue pa’l monte,” and contrasted him with Jorge “Coque” Muñiz, remarks widely interpreted as homophobic.
- Videos of the moment spread across X and TikTok, drawing heavy criticism from users and LGBT+ commentators, while some defended the comments as a joke.
- Coverage notes the incident aligns with a pattern of disputes over her past statements, including her 2017 opposition to same-sex adoption and stigmatizing jokes reported between 2020 and 2022.
- Reports as of Dec. 18 did not reference an apology or formal sanction, with the reaction unfolding primarily on social platforms.
