Vasco Moulian faces backlash over controversial mental health remarks

Chilean actor and television judge Vasco Moulian has faced widespread backlash following controversial remarks regarding suicide and mental health on social media. The controversy began after an interview with the program ‘Qué te lo digo’, which was later reviewed on the ‘Modo Cahuin’ podcast. During the discussion, influencer Danilo 21 criticized Moulian’s behavior, prompting Moulian to respond by labeling critics as ‘glass children’ who ‘threaten to commit suicide’ when confronted.

Moulian’s comments drew sharp condemnation from public figures, including Adriana Barrientos, who described his remarks as ‘savage’ given the sensitivity of the topic.

In a related column for ‘La Hora’, Moulian also addressed the transition of social media influencers to traditional television. He argued that while personalities like Danilo 21 succeed in digital spaces, broadcast television requires adherence to different codes of ethics, regulations, and responsibilities due to its mass reach. This stance was supported by dancer Cony Capelli, who emphasized that television must follow specific laws and ethical standards as a mass medium.
