Eric del Castillo, the prominent Mexican actor, once again touched on the delicate subject that marked the life of his daughter, Kate del Castillo, by harshly referring to the role of actor Sean Penn in the meeting with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in 2015.

In recent statements, del Castillo reiterated his anger towards Penn for his attitude during that episode, which triggered personal, legal, and professional consequences for his daughter Kate del Castillo.

The meeting between Kate del Castillo and “El Chapo” Guzman, in which Sean Penn also participated, became a media scandal that seriously affected the actress’s career, who suffered a lawsuit and isolation after the publication of a column in Rolling Stone, written by the American actor.

Eric del Castillo, who has maintained a firm stance over the years, expressed himself bluntly.

“That idiot is very far away, but, of course, I don’t like him. What am I going to forgive him for if "Was he a traitor to my daughter?" the Mexican actor expressed.

He calls Sean Penn a traitor

In his statements, del Castillo also exposed the lack of loyalty that he believes Penn demonstrated by exposing the meeting, which turned out to be a trap that harmed his daughter. In addition, the Mexican actor assured that, if he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate to confront the actor with physical violence.

"If I saw him, I would give him a right hook, another from below and a kick, you know where, right? Traitor, traitor, traitor," he sentenced.

The familial and personal impact of the betrayal

Eric del Castillo highlighted how the situation not only affected Kate's career, but also her personal relationships. The actress faced a series of betrayals, especially from close friends who distanced themselves when the scandal broke.

In a recent interview, Kate del Castillo also revealed her feelings.

“I never saw him again... These are experiences I'm going to take to the grave.” The actress added that, although the process was extremely painful, it allowed her to learn valuable lessons about the importance of protecting oneself from toxic people.

Regarding institutional damage, the “La mentira” actor revealed that the family is legally fighting for compensation for Kate del Castillo, whom they consider a victim of unjustified harm by the Mexican government due to the discrediting and persecution she suffered as a result of that media scandal.

“We are fighting for money that they owe Kate. The Mexican government owes Kate money,” explained Eric del Castillo.

Kate del Castillo and her confrontation with Sean Penn

Kate del Castillo, who was affected by the DEA surveillance and professional isolation, has also referred to the encounter with Penn as a trap. In an interview with Jorge Van Rankin, the actress called the American actor "scum" and mentioned that she was used as bait in the meeting with "El Chapo." Despite the adversity, Kate made it clear that she does not regret her decisions, as they allowed her significant personal growth.

Despite the years that have passed since that meeting, both Eric del Castillo and his daughter remain adamant regarding Sean Penn's betrayal, whose chronicling of the event led to consequences that transcended the screen.
