Mexico City—The studio audience clapped and cheered as comedians Aníbal “El Muerto” and Myr Ramírez took the stage on July 7, 2018, for the last battle of witsof Comedy Central’s Duelo de Comediantes , to be broadcast later in August. Goldtooth , the referee, asked veteran comedian Mauricio Barrientos—known more popularly as “El Diablito” —one of three on the judging panel, to choose who should start.It was a cheap shot against Ramírez, who laughed it off.
Before Ramírez’s disclosure, she told Women Under Siege, El Regio had contacted her via Messenger to apologize, and he later also apologized in person. However, she told us, just days after she posted about the incident on Facebook, “he called a press conference and told a bunch of journalists that I did it to gain attention and to obtain some benefit, using his fame to join a movement that is ‘in style’ .
