The actress decided to speak out after receiving negative comments about the way she looks.
The Spanish actress Ester Exposito decided to raise her voice after winning the “New Generation” award at the Bazaar Women of the Year 2024. Expósito, tired of the opinions of other people’s bodies, decided to give a speech about the different forms of gender violence and the influence of social networks. This is because it has recently been receiving criticism about the way she looks.
He took the opportunity to contribute his grain of sand in this fight the moment he got on stage. “ I have gained a little weight. Because, believe it or not, women, like men, We grow, we change, we gain weight or lose weight. And thank goodness, because this means that “We are alive and we are not dolls.”he said in his speech.

Ester Expósito’s speech
“I want to start sending all my support to all women victims of abuse. And I want to continue thanking each and every one of you here for listening to me in advance, because I’m going to take the opportunity to vent. The other day I was reflecting on all the different forms of violence that women receive and I realized how normalized it is for a person to hide behind a screen and a social network to criticize a woman’s body and call her out for it. And today I want to be the one to point out those people and tell them that what they do is not right. There is no opinion, especially not publicly, about another person’s physique. And even less so if you have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“And I’m not doing this for myself, since I’ve known what’s out there for years, and I’ve made a lot of effort to acquire the necessary tools to manage these types of situationsI do it for other people, other girls, who maybe don’t have them or, even if they do, they don’t have to put up with this just like I don’t either. I’m tired and angry. Because it turns out that I’ve been reading the stupid thing about how I’ve had like 50 surgeries and cosmetic touch-ups on my face since I was 19, and I’m wondering how much longer I’m going to have to keep reading it. The last thing was last week, it happened again, and now it seems I have filled my face or gotten botox. That if that were the case, I would be completely within my rights, and no stranger has to come and ask me for anything, because I haven’t asked them, and because it is my face and I do what I want with it. But it turns out that I have gained a little weight. Because, believe it or not, women, like men, We grow, we change, we gain weight or lose weight. And thank goodness, because this means that we are alive and we are not dolls“
“We are not going to stay like this forever, luckily, and I ask that we stop studying with a magnifying glass, analyzing and questioning women so exhaustively, especially because You never know what a person may be going through.“
