Kate Del Castillo's Father Eric Breaks Silence After Sean Penn, 'El Chapo' Interview: 'She's Calm'

When news broke that Kate Del Castillo was involved in the "El Chapo" interview Sean Penn conducted, we could only wonder what Don Eric Del Castillo and his wife were going through. He is a traditional Mexican and is father of the actress of telenovelas like "La Reina Del Sur" and "Muchachitas." Eric has expressed many times that he doesn't agree with her views, but respects her actions. Kate's involvement with the Mexican kingpin came after she wrote an open letter where she said she believed in him more than the Mexican government. The actress had been in contact with "El Chapo" and she made the Sean Penn interview possible.

Finally Eric Del Castillo broke his silence and confided in the morning show "Hoy" to talk about Kate's involvement in this whole debacle. "We have come to an agreement to not say half a word because everything can be misinterpreted or used in a bad way," he said. "We are calm, my daughter is calm. We have found out about the same thing that you guys have found out. We have talked to my daughter but that is personal. We have seen the video like the rest of the audience."

Kate Del Castillo is Eric's daughter and he will support everything she does. The telenovela actor then turned the question to Jorge Nieto and asked him if he wouldn't have done the same thing as his daughter if given the same situation. "We support my daughter to death," he added. "I know my daughter and she is looking for something good for everyone. We are a united family and will support her to death."
