Mexican actress Laura Zapata spoke out regarding the criticism she receives for using filters in the photos she shares on her social media. During an interview on the program 'Hoy', the celebrity responded emphatically: "That's what they were made for, to be used." She also made a controversial statement about her detractors: "Let the ugly or poor ones criticize, those who don't have money to pay for those kinds of filters, do you agree? So, if an ugly person criticizes you, then it's not valid." The topic generated a wide debate on digital platforms, where users are divided between those who support her and those who believe she abuses these tools.

Some comments highlight the social double standard: "If she didn't use filters, she'd be criticized for aging. So, it sounds cliche, but do whatever you want on your social media, as long as you don't hurt anyone, people are going to criticize anyway."

Others, however, see her stance as provocative: "How sad that this woman takes the character of her roles into real life. Well, she has to stay relevant even if it means talking nonsense.”

Reflections on old age and family

Beyond the aesthetic controversy, Zapata was also asked about her future perspective, specifically whether she would consider living in a nursing home in her old age. The actress responded honestly: "No, I haven't thought about it yet. Time passes and I can't forget you. We'll see, we'll figure that out as we go along." She trusted that her children, who have been involved in their grandmother's care, will act with prudence and affection when the time comes: "because people do what they see." Currently, Laura Zapata says she is experiencing a period of happiness and balance, something she attributes to her comprehensive health care. "I am very happy with myself, I am very content. I don't need anything else to be myself, to be centered," she stated.The Mexican woman emphasized that she has learned "many very interesting things" that she puts into practice. which contributes to their sense of fulfillment.
