Mexico City – Florinda Meza, best known for her role as “Doña Florinda” in the iconic television series “El Chavo del 8,” is facing renewed scrutiny over her relationship with Roberto Gómez Bolaños, “Chespirito.” The controversy stems from the release of the new biographical series, “Chespirito: Sin querer queriendo,” which depicts the beginning of their romance while Gómez Bolaños was still married to his first wife, Graciela Fernández.
Meza has previously acknowledged that Gómez Bolaños pursued her while he was married, a situation she initially resisted due to his position as her boss and his marital status. She was also engaged to television director Enrique Segoviano at the time.
In past interviews, Meza stated she eventually fell in love with Gómez Bolaños after approximately five years of working together, leading to a long-term relationship that lasted until his death. Gómez Bolaños, in his autobiography, admitted that his marriage to Fernández had deteriorated and that he had been unfaithful.
When questioned in a 2023 interview about whether she felt guilty for Gómez Bolaños leaving his wife for her, Meza stated she never felt responsible. She also recounted a conversation with Fernández, where Fernández reportedly told her she was angry, but her anger was directed at Gómez Bolaños.
This week, following the premiere of “Chespirito: Sin querer queriendo,” Meza released a statement criticizing the series. She claims the show sensationalizes the truth for profit. “This genius would want people to know his life, the real one,” she wrote. “That they remember him for his legacy and not for a fictional melodrama that falsifies the facts just to sell.”
The renewed attention on their relationship highlights the complex legacy of Roberto Gómez Bolaños and the continuing debate surrounding his personal life and its impact on those around him.
