La Liendra defends earthquake documentary monetization

Content creator Mauricio Gómez, known as La Liendra, has addressed public criticism regarding a documentary he produced about the earthquake that affected various regions in Colombia. Some followers accused the influencer of exploiting the tragedy for financial gain.

Gómez stated that while the documentary generates revenue through digital platforms and YouTube monetization, all such funds, along with direct donations, are intended to support those affected by the natural disaster. He also noted that he has used his own resources to provide essential items, including cement, water, and pet food, to the impacted areas. He cited his own background in a low-income family as a reason for his connection to those facing economic hardship due to the disaster.
