The cameraman’s demand Jose Miranda against the entertainer Jose Miguel Viñuela, who cut his hair live last July, had a new twist after the response presented by Mega’s face defense.
According to La Tercera, the journalist’s lawyers rule out that the animator has abused his power or wanted to undermine and humiliate the man. Likewise, they also highlighted the more than 20 years of work of the driver, and the respect and professionalism, which according to them, he has had with the public and his colleagues.
“By the way, like all human works, the trajectory of mr. Viñuela Infante is not exempt from errors and troubles. But no one can responsibly affirm that we are facing a human rights violator, or of being an abusive, discriminatory, arrogant and disrespectful person towards others, as has been pointed out by the counterpart in this headquarters and in various media ”, they affirmed in the document.
The lawyers added that Viñuela and Miranda shared a work space for several years “Developing a good working relationship between the two, without ever having existed any attitude that could give rise to sustaining an alleged use of their ‘position’ as a television face.”
The day of the events
Recall that on July 16, Viñuela began to joke with Miranda’s hair in the morning, ensuring that it was covered with coronavirus. At that moment a kind of game started where another member pretended to cut the man’s hair, being replaced by the animator, who did carry out the act.
The defense of the communicator said that everything was given in a context of humor and that the gestures of the cameraman implied “somehow his disposition.” “If Mr. Viñuela had perceived any sign of disapproval, express or tacit, on the part of the plaintiff before the fact, have no doubt that our client would never have proceeded to cut his hair”, they sentenced.
In fact, they affirmed that even after what happened, Miranda had not been concerned and “that he even took his lock of hair, putting it in Viñuela’s jacket pocket, alluding to the popular humorous character, Charly Badulque,” said La Tercera .
After the program and while matching her hair at the channel’s hairdresser, the defense added, Miranda would have continued to downplay the issue and assured that she understood the context of the joke. In addition, he would have expressed his intention to donate the lock of hair to a foundation for people with cancer, which ultimately did not materialize.
According to the national newspaper, the lawyers added that the cameraman told the program executives “that everything was fine, that he understood the situation and that in fact he had been thinking about cutting his hair for a while” and that even “accepted the payment of $ 350,000 from Viñuela, ‘so that Mr. Miranda could dispose of it at his convenience, “” provided his account number.
“By the way, seen from the perspective of time, the specific fact of cutting Mr. Miranda’s hair was an error, an excess, motivated by the adrenaline of the moment, of which Mr. Viñuela regrets and apologized both privately and publicly, ”they added.
The answer
“The answer to the lawsuit combines stubbornness, denial and incoherence,” said Miranda Roberto Ávila’s lawyer, adding that “he persists in the error of claiming that a successful television career would be a kind of patent of impunity to act in society that it would put the defendant above the rest of the citizens ”.
“The defense disputes the facts presented by us, that is, it denies what happened and that the whole country saw, it is pure denialism… What was also accredited by the Labor Directorate and the National Television Council is denied ”, he also sentenced.
Likewise, it ruled that the answer is incoherent considering that the animator offered a public apology and now innocence is alleged on his part.
Regarding the $ 350,000 previously mentioned, Ávila asserted that “It is stated that a very small amount of money was deposited in the account of my client, without his consent or knowledge. Why did he do that if he is innocent?”
The case will continue with the statements of the cheerleaders Diana Bolocco, Soledad Onetto and Michelle Adam, as witnesses of the fact, in the coming weeks.
Remember that after being removed from the program, Viñuela returned to the morning as a panelist, which is subject to the channel’s evaluation.
