Ari Telch clarifies social media posts were promotional joke

Mexican actor Ari Telch has clarified that his recent alarming social media posts, which suggested he was in danger or being kidnapped, were actually a promotional strategy for his theater monologue, ‘D’Mente’.

Following a series of posts on Facebook where he claimed to be pursued by an unknown woman and expressed fear for his safety, Telch explained during an interview at Teatro Xola that the messages were intended to generate interest in his play. He also addressed the woman in the photographs, revealing she is his partner of 29 years, whom he affectionately referred to as ‘mi jarocha’.

The actor’s posts had caused significant concern among followers, with some speculating about his mental health due to his previously disclosed diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Telch noted that his daughter, Sofía, was not alarmed by the posts as she is familiar with his sense of humor.
