A comment by Mexican actress Victoria Ruffo about the physical appearance of Aitana Derbez, the 11-year-old daughter of Eugenio Derbez and Alessandra Rosaldo, has sparked a public feud. Ruffo, who is the mother of Eugenio's eldest son, made the remarks after Aitana's debut as a dancer at a Sentidos Opuestos concert in Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional. She said, "Está en la peor edad, están re feos a esa edad," which many interpreted as calling the girl ugly . Ruffo later insisted her comment was a general joke about adolescence, not a personal attack .
Alessandra Rosaldo, when pressed by reporters, initially declined to comment, saying, "No sé, no tengo nada que opinar" . However, she later made a pointed remark: "Al que tira mier**, mier** le cae" . Rosaldo also emphasized that Aitana has no social media and is shielded from online negativity .
Ruffo responded on Instagram with a message that many saw as a jab at Rosaldo: "Soy consciente de que, por mi manera de ser, no le caigo bien a muchas personas, pero también soy consciente de que no me importa" . She also shared a cake reading "Mi primera funa (fake) por exceso de sinceridad" .
Television host Yolanda Andrade weighed in, criticizing Ruffo and writing, "¡Victoria Ruffo, con los niños no!" . A viral video purportedly showing Rosaldo insulting Ruffo was revealed to be AI-generated . The incident has reignited debate about commenting on children's appearances.
