Calleja responds to criticism for casting Jenny Hermoso on Planeta Calleja
Premiere of the new season of the series Planet Calleja It all started with controversy on social networks. And since the Leonians announced that the protagonist of the first adventure of the year would be the football player Jenny Hermoso, the reaction, good or bad, was not long in coming. And Jesus Calleja answered.
A few days after the premiere, Jesús Calleya posted on his social networks that his first episode of the tenth season will be in Iceland with Jenny Hermoso. After a scandalous event with the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (with whom she is in court at the time of writing this information), the player received both criticism and support, and her followers and detractors expressed their opinions from the first moment about the choice of a football player to participate in adventure program.
“Well, I’m a woman too, I have two daughters, two brothers, a husband and a father, and I will never see what this girl did well, and I like this program, but with this guest I… I certainly don’t I’m going to do this.” You see. And long live equality for all,” one person commented. For their part, there were those who condemned the “disgust” they felt at “the comments, especially coming from women, so we will always be second-class citizens,” they responded. Also among the critics were those who wondered what the footballer would do “to be on all the television and programs”, compared to her defenders, who highlighted the list of awards that the footballer received for her record, including the World Cup itself , around which a controversy erupted.
