This Monday, Carlos Paz will be presented with the Carlos Awards at the Luxor Theater starting at 5pm. The award distinguishes year after year the theatrical productions that stood out most in Cordoba’s summer season. In this edition, Jey Mammon He could be honored for the first time after being caught in the middle of a scandal over alleged child sexual abuse.
The prize, which will be broadcast live for the first time on YouTube and Facebook, sparked debate on social media after the nominations were announced last week. At the center of the discussion is comedian Jey Mammón, nominated in the “Best Actor” category for his work I will be back soon.
The one-man show for which Jey could be rewarded marked his return to the world of entertainment after being forced to retire following the controversy generated by the abuse complaint against him. Despite being fired due to the statute of limitations of the crime in 2021, the actor was the victim of strong social condemnation and also motivated his departure from management The rock of Morfion Telefe.
Denouncement, exile and return
In 2020 the comedian was reported by Lucas Benvenuto (24 years old) who accused him of sexual abuse. According to media reports, the skater had a romantic relationship with Mammón when he was 14, and the former racer was 31.
After the complaint (and the resulting controversy), Jey Mammón was separated from The rock of Morfi, the program he hosted on Telefe. Soon after, and after a couple of failed attempts to clean up his image, the actor went to live in Spain for a while.
Some time later, convinced that his career was not over, the actor returned to Argentina, and returned to the stage in December, a few days before the end of the year, at the Teatro Zorba in Villa Carlos Paz. With a full house on the night of his debut, and through tears, Mammón thanked the audience for allowing him to perform again. “I am very happy and thank you for so much love,” said the protagonist I will be back soon.
