Any regular fan of the social chronicle pages will have noticed lately that the patriotic heart is not going through its best moment. Showbiz does not shine as before and much of the blame for this progressive blackout lies in the lack of powerful characters. Where once Rocío Jurado or Mar Flores were, now the influencer on duty or the broken toy taken from some reality show appearwho has visited the Telecinco sets so many times that there is nothing left of his life that could be moderately interesting.
Themes are repeated and recycled over and over again, entering an infinite loop that bores both the audience and the professionals. But faced with this soporific panorama, Julia Janeiro, the first-born of Jesulín de Ubrique and María José Campanario, has just entered the scene to revive one of the most deeply rooted confrontations in the pink history of this country: that of Belén Esteban against the Janeiros.
The 23-year-old, a makeup artist by profession, made her own announcement when last May she unabashedly stated that she wanted to be a “superstar”, a declaration of intent that clashed squarely with the anonymous life she defended when she turned 18. Everyone has the right to change their mind, and thank goodness they have! Juls, as those closest to her refer to her, has burst onto the heart scene to respond without hesitation to Belén Esteban, who indirectly called her “nepobaby”.
«If we talk about ”nepobabies”, she, without being my father’s daughter, has been practically the same, because she has spent her life talking about him. He is the shadow of Jesulín de Ubrique, and it seems a little ridiculous and shameful to me that he talks like that about his daughter’s sister. (…) My parents at least have respect and class. He seems to hate my existence, being a person three times my age. Belén, I address you directly, you are a television meme, and you are not the navel of the world». And period.
Julia was pleased, of course, but The important thing here is not only what he says, but everything that implies that he has gone to war with Esteban.because this has only just begun.
The superstar is already here and he is very clear about what his role is: to liven up the show and entertain the gossiping public with what he had been demanding for a long time: more freshness and less restraint and correctness
The daughter of Campanario and Jesulín exudes self-confidence and ease throughout her counterattack against her father’s ex, trapping a spectator who waits for him to continue speaking to hear the next dart against the self-baptized “patroness.”
A character has been born, one of those who were missed and so needed in the wasteland that the coated paper ecosystem had become. The “superstar” is already here and is very clear about what his role is: to liven up the show and entertain the gossiping public with what he had been demanding for a long time: more freshness and less restraint and correctness. Why does she have to hide how much it bothered her that her sister’s mother called her “nepobaby”? Why keep silent so as not to entangle the matter further? Julia has decided to make a big mess of it and, in the process, open a new chapter in a story that has been feeding the national social chronicle for years. The heartfelt plot that summer needed has just begun.
