Photos of the actress wearing blackface in a 2007 telenovela surfaced online this week.
Lola, Érase Una Vez"I am deeply sorry and ashamed about having worn blackface makeup shown in the images circulating," Gonzalez said in a statement to multiple outlets."As a 15-year-old child actor on my first job in a Mexican telenovela, I was pressured against my will, and with no negotiating power, I could not advocate for myself in the situation. I wish I had the voice and knowledge then that I have now.
Adding that, as a Mexican woman and immigrant,"I have faced racism and ignorance throughout my life and career. I would never intentionally participate in anything that I knew would cause harm or distress to another person." "All I care [about] is representing Latina women in a way where they feel proud," she said."Everything's a lesson. [I've learned] that you should also be proud of everything you do. There's no small things in life. There's this stigma of doing soap operas and I'm like, soap operas prepped me. I would have never been ready for this.
