Michelle Vieth remains steadfast in her fight to achieve justice in the case she suffered 19 years ago, when a video of her having sex with a man whose face cannot be seen was released without her consent.

This situation caused many problems for the actress, who was mocked and criticized, in addition to seeing her privacy violated. Since then, the television host also pointed to her ex-husband Héctor Soberón as responsible for the leak of the video in which she was exposed to the public eye.

Now, the protagonist of soap operas such as Mi pequeña traviesa and Soñadoras continues on the warpath to ensure that a law that punishes “revenge porn” enters into force at the national level, especially in these times, where almost the entire population can have Internet access and it is possible to access video cameras, such as those on cell phones.

In a recent meeting with the press to promote the play 2X1 in which she is participating, Michelle Vieth referred to the subject.

“I am fighting for a law called the Revenge Porn Law, which exists in the United States, which is called the Revenge Porn Law, in Mexico the initiative was introduced to the Senate in 2015 and we are simply looking for the applicability of this law. As soon as the law exists or is applied as such, then you can proceed in another way”, explained the 43-year-old comedian.

“I think that the information was handled there or there was a confusion, the Olympia Law exists, but I want to fight for the Revenge Pornography Law so that it is approved throughout the Mexican Republic, at the moment this is achieved we will assess with my team of professionals what is going to be done or how is going to move forward”, he said regarding his particular case.

Michelle Vieth stressed that this type of problem does not exclusively affect women, so she wants it not to be considered as a strictly gender issue.

“The truth is that I have been working a lot and I am working for this law to be supported because I believe that this problem is not a problem that only identifies me or women, I believe that it is a problem that is not only of gender but of humanity as such. I think that both men and women, I would like the message to reach them and I would like them to join this, ”she stressed.

The also actress of El premio mayor described her effort as “ambitious”, and assured that she wants to be “the last” that has had to go through this grievance.

“If yes, I was the first here in Mexico, maybe I could also be the last, I know it is very ambitious, but at least I feel that it is my responsibility as a public figure to make this call to citizenship and the truth is that I simply I dedicate myself to work and to be able to improve things, the past, the past”, he highlighted.

When asked by a reporter, who asked her if she felt “revictimized”, that’s how the actress answered.

“We have to be very careful precisely in that, not to re-victimize the victims, so, at the moment when I can share the effort and the fight that we are making, it is to benefit humanity, not to re-victimize anyone.

“That is precisely why we are carrying out this fight and it is that we are joining efforts from all sides, even starting to talk to you right now is asking you to help me gather people so that there can be a positive change for everyone and for the benefit of all,” Vieth said.
