The fury of an actress and singer with Florencia Peña: “She treated me like a cabaret artist”

A scandal broke out in the summer season of Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba, after the actress and partner of Omar Suárez, Denise Cerrone would indicate Florencia Pena (49) as the person responsible for downloading the musical work “Oh mama.”

Following the declarations of the wife of the owner of Cocodrilo, the comedian clarified: “I am very respectful of my colleagues, I have never left anyone without work, I will never do so, nor have I done so nor will I do so.”

Furthermore, the host also made a differentiation, which was the thing that bothered Cerrone the most: “A cabaret is not the same as a musical comedy.”

Very angry, Denise gave him a cell phone Intruders (América TV, Monday to Friday at 12.30pm) and was decisive regarding Florencia Peña’s statements: “I’m having a hard time. And I’m a little shocked by what happened. “I felt embraced by the artistic community, everyone supported me.”

Then, she explained that she had been called for the job since October last year and that she didn’t understand why they had turned her away without explanation. “I had to play the character of Rousey and Ricky Pashkus (artistic director of Oh mama) told me it was amazing when I tried it,” he began.

“At the time there was talk of Valeria Lynch for the main role, after Fátima Florez… And in the end it ended with Florencia Peña, who I admire very much. I love her, she is a reference in musical comedy. And this makes me much more excited .But when the first day of the reading session arrives, I sit down to play my character and I found out that there is another actress playing my character, it was very humbling for me. “I don’t know why they did something like that to me…” said Denise, visibly distressed by the situation she had experienced.

Then he attacked Peña for the statements he made: “Yesterday, from Flor’s words, it was more than clear that what she considers about me is that I am a cabaret artist with no training. What he said seems horrible, out of place and audacious to me…”

“He didn’t say that. What he said was that doing cabaret is not the same as doing a musical comedy,” clarified Florencia de la Ve. “He implied it,” Denise corrected him angrily.

Omar Suárez’s wife then told how things went after that reading in which she was replaced by singer Lula Rosenthal: “Nobody confirms to me that I’m out of the show. When this happens, I call Ricky and tell him that it’s not like that” . what we had talked about… He started to get nervous and explained to me: ‘the idea is that for a question of rights there must be a kind of rotation of the characters which is not the same as a replacement’, I He says. And I told him I didn’t understand how you could pivot if it had never been talked about.”

And he added of that conversation he had with Pashkus, director of the show: “Here he tells me about it “But here there are people with multiple signs who demand certain things.” I returned home severely humiliated. I sent Ricky some more messages to see what was going on and there he said ‘talk to me later’. And this after speaking never happened because two days later the official cast of Oh mama, with a photo of me but they don’t name me. From that day on, never again “No one else called me or apologized or anything.”

Her anger did not stop there and she once again criticized the attitude that Flor Peña had towards her: “I am sure that when Flor was told who her companions would be and they told her who I was, there she said “I don’t want this stand-up comedian.” And now I am very sure of the statements made yesterday. I no longer have any doubts. He also doesn’t know me, he doesn’t know what kind of talents I have. I “I am a very educated and trained person for this woman to say something like that to me, it made me feel horrible.”.

“You guys can defend her but she said it, she said it. She called me a ‘stand-up comedian’ and said I should learn from quality artists, ignoring the artists who accompany me in my work. What she did was horrible, a “shocking discrimination. Who told you I worked in a cabaret? Who told you that?” Denise continued.

“They never told me I would be someone’s substitute teacher. I was going with my lead role. It’s all very clear to me. I have approval. And you know what? Flor knew it. If not, where does he get that cabaret thing from? It’s a prejudice he had with me. He must have told this little girl that I don’t love her. You don’t say it but you know she said it in a derogatory way. Listening to Flor yesterday with that discriminating tone, I have no doubt that it was her. “I’d like you to meet me.”He insisted.

Finally, he assured that he will bring the matter to its final consequences: “I speak with my lawyer Trimarco. I deserve respect. After April we will take legal action. They insist that I go to the press conference today.” to talk and I don’t think that wow, I’m exposing everyone for how badly they behaved, this should have been talked about sooner. Flor Peña’s words will not remain so because they seem very low to me.”

Flor Peña’s word on Denise Cerrone’s accusation

Florencia Peña, protagonist of the work “Mamma Mía” came out to deny the statements of Denise Cerrone who a few days ago accused the artist of having left her out of the work for which she had been summoned, and in which she had already created several during the rehearsals and I had also taken the photo for the main tent.

“I am not a producer nor a director, for me they have always been Lula Rosenthal and Alejandra Perlusky, who for those who don’t know them, I clarify that they are two of the best singers and actresses of musical comedies that we have in Argentina,” explained the actress , implying that it had nothing to do with the departure of Omar Suárez’s wife.

“When I met Denise, in the first reading we did, they told me she was an alternative, someone who at a certain point comes out to play roles. Later, I learned from reliable sources that she didn’t want to be an alternative , because I wanted her to be the protagonist,” he said.

And he added, piquantly: “I would have liked her to understand that being a substitute in a show of artists of this quality would have done her career very well, I would have learned a lot. Because a cabaret is not the same as a musical comedy where you mostly have to act and sing or talk. “I would have loved to have had her in the cast, but she decided that if she wasn’t the lead, she would leave.”
