Outrage in Mexico: Actress Laura Zapata Condemns Staged Kidnapping Publicity Stunt

Mexican actress Laura Zapata has condemned the promotional tactics employed by theater producer Omar Suárez for his new play. Suárez staged a fake kidnapping scene outside the Manolo Fábregas theater, a stunt Zapata strongly criticized, saying, "Me parece de muy mal gusto" ("I find it in very bad taste"). The video of the staged event went viral. Zapata's criticism stems from her own experience of being kidnapped in 2002, an event she referenced in her comments. The incident has sparked a debate about ethical boundaries in marketing and publicity. The question remains whether Suárez's actions will face legal repercussions.
