Mexican actress Florinda Meza, better known as "Doña Florinda" in the TV series "El Chavo del Ocho" was annoyed in an interview when she was questioned about an alleged romance she had with Carlos Villagrán, "Kiko," before starting her relationship with Chespirito.
In 2011 Villagrán revealed that his relationship with "Doña Florinda," who played his mother in the series, was complicated and even had to ask Roberto Gómez Bolaños for advice to finish it, assuring that when the relationship ended, she had to be taken to the hospital to deal with depression. These statements unleashed a series of controversies that to date remain a taboo subject for part of those involved.
During the broadcast of the Mexican show "El Minuto que Cambió Tu Destino," in which Meza was as a special guest, the interviewer asked the actress if the statements of Villagrán were true. "Did you have a relationship with Carlos Villagrán?" he asked. "I refuse to answer that! I am not willing to give anyone a rating, or to share with anyone what I have... I don't need to benefit from others, I have what I have and I know who I am," Meza replied angrily.
"You know why? Because you can win a dispute, and you may win another... I'm not willing to give that public response to Carlos Villagrán," she added. After giving her answer the interviewer apologized and announced they were going to a commercial break. Ironically, Meza said "Oh! [I though] that was the commercial break."
In 2015 Villagrán revealed to Telemundo's "Al Rojo Vivo" that the affair was a mistake and he apologized. "Yes, I made that mistake. I accept it and I apologize to the public," he said. "It wasn't a big deal, just a little more than friends," he added.
The love story between Florinda and Chespirito was also very controversial. When she fell in love with Chespirito, he was married to Graciela Fernández and had six children. Although it was a scandal, they were together for over 40 years.
