Laura Fa's Unexpected Response to the Attacks She Has Received from Juan del Val

The journalist closes the controversy with elegance on 'Espejo Público,' avoiding escalating the conflict with the writer

The journalist Laura Fa has surprised with her latest intervention on Espejo Público, where she has decided not to continue the controversy with Juan del Val. Despite the writer's comments, Fa has avoided further attacks and has preferred to settle the matter without adding fuel to the fire.

For several days, the controversy has resonated in the media, but now it seems to be coming to an end. It all started with some statements by Juan del Val in which he criticized the gossip press after the dissemination of headlines about a crisis between Íñigo Onieva and Tamara Falcó. But what really triggered the conflict?

The Origin of the Controversy

During his intervention on La Roca, Juan del Val made a comment that caused a stir. "The gossip press should look at how fascist it is," he commented. He made this statement after recalling that he and his wife, Nuria Roca, were also the subject of speculation when they traveled separately.

For Del Val, the interpretation of these events reflects an outdated view of relationships. "But do you live in 1950?" he questioned. The writer's words did not go unnoticed.

Laura Fa, a collaborator on Espejo Público, replied days later, showing her surprise at Del Val's stance. "What seems strange to me is that he attacks the gossip press," Fa expressed, arguing that he is also part of the media machinery of the gossip world.

"He is not on this program as a writer," she pointed out, highlighting his role on La Roca as a commentator on celebrity news. Fa also mentioned that, in her opinion, Del Val has a close relationship with Tamara Falcó, and that could influence his discourse. "I understand that he is friendly with Tamara, but he shouldn't attack us to defend his friend," she added.

Far from remaining silent, Juan del Val replied again, although this time he nuanced his stance: "It is not a criticism of the gossip press. I do gossip here and comment on gossip. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of," he explained.

However, he maintained his main argument, pointing out that some approaches in the gossip press seem outdated to him. "The news they publish seems retrograde to me, although without that way of understanding it, they would run out of news," he said. Then, he nuanced his comment by adding: "So that Laura doesn't get upset, we would run out of news."

Laura Fa's Unexpected Response to the Attacks She Has Received from Juan del Val

This Monday, on Espejo Público, Laura Fa had the opportunity to respond again to Juan del Val. Against all odds, her response was much more measured. "I am surprised to see Pilar Vidal applauding," she commented upon seeing the video of her colleague.

Fa also wanted to clarify the true meaning of her criticism: "There is something very important that maybe Juan didn't realize. I think what is fascist are the characters, and you notice how separated they usually are."

For Fa, the key lies in the type of relationships analyzed in the gossip press. "There are more open relationships where this type of headline wouldn't come out, but in the case of Íñigo and Tamara, who are more closed, yes," she explained.

Although she has made her stance clear on the treatment of certain topics in the gossip press, she has also preferred not to prolong the conflict.
