Gen Z is outraged! Yes, 18, but the power dynamic!!!
From the now deleted TikTok video:
Hello, I'm Ivet, and I'm here because I need to tell my story with Alejandro Sanz, for the girl I was, but above all, for the woman I am today. It all started in 2015. I was his fan, and he followed me on social media. I was amazed that someone like him, so famous and so loved by everyone, would send me private messages, comment on my photos, and even post things about me on his social media. The connection grew, and we met privately for the first time when I was 18. He was 49 at the time.
It's been very hard for me to accept that Alejandro Sam knew perfectly well what I was; he knew it from the beginning. I was just a girl, a 19-year-old girl who started working as a shop assistant to travel all over Spain, following him. I attended 10 concerts in a month and a half. And he knew it. He played with my dreams, he played with my hopes. At 22, I left my home in Barcelona to move to Madrid alone because Alejandro Sanz hired me to work for him. And well, at that time, I don't really know why, but our private conversations were being spied on. And honestly, I, at least, had nothing, and have nothing, to hide. But still, my personal connection with Alejandro Sam became irreparable and turned intimate and sexual. I was supposedly living a dream, another dream by his side, but the reality is that it turned into a terrible nightmare.
I have no words to express what I've felt. I feel deceived, I feel used, I feel humiliated, I even feel dirty because I don't know who might have seen what I sent him in my absolute integrity. I feel like I'm still trying to justify him, but I swear I've tried to justify him in every way possible. His actions crossed every limit of what I considered and still consider moral, and even human.
I remember an interview he gave in March of this year. He said he "takes people down" and that he's dangerous. And if you, who have reached this point, are wondering why I'm here telling this, it's because Alejandro Sanz has taken me down. He has scared me. He himself admits it. I think he lives in a parallel reality that he's been building for many years, and I think he feels he's above good and evil.
That's extremely dangerous, because I think, deep down, he is. Everyone condones him, and no one is able to stand up to him, and that's even more dangerous. But me, well, no "little paper" was signed with me, and in part, I feel the moral responsibility, because I can and because I think I'm one of the few who can do it, to stand here and show that sooner or later, the truth comes out.
Enough is enough. He made a mistake with me; he made a mistake with me until the very end. I'm no longer that girl who was willing to do anything to be closer to him. The me of today knows what a healthy, proportional, and reciprocal bond is. And she recognizes when someone does things with their heart and when someone feels so empty inside that they only feel good by using the hearts of others. And now what? Now, the truth. That's it now.
