In the midst of the announcement for a new meeting of Bandana, Lourdes Fernandez It was in the news for a police incident that kept public opinion in suspense. One of the members of the group that emerged in 2001 from the reality show Popstars was found at her boyfriend’s home Leandro García Gómez after a raid and after twelve hours of not hearing anything from her. The event put the focus on the singer’s difficult present and on a family intern that is slowly beginning to be revealed.
The alarms about Lourdes’ situation went off on Thursday morning, when her mother, Mabel, reported not hearing anything from her since the beginning of October. The eyes were pointed at Leandro Gómez Gerez, whom the singer had denounced in the past for gender violence. After a tense day, Lourdes was found in the Palermo apartment and taken to the Fernández hospital, where she was discharged in the early hours of Friday.
While Lourdes recovered at home, accompanied by a friend, her family remained silent until His sister Ana attended the press at her home in Hurlingham. “We are accompanying her, but it is very difficult. Now she is with friends and my mother is very distressed,” said the young woman, to summarize her state of mind before the improvised journalistic guard.
“Yesterday we saw her a little in the hospital. She is with her friends. Luckily she is alive“, he said crudely, and assured that he is not aware of the events he experienced on Thursday: “Clearly, he is in a totally vulnerable situation. It is very difficult for us as a family to get closer because in these cases they push you away and take you as if you are the one who is wrong,” she analyzed.
Regarding the groom, who is charged with unlawful deprivation of libertydeclared: “We don’t even want him to come out, and I hope justice is done.”. And about her sister’s current affairs, she was cautious: “She is with her friends and the Bandana girls who are always there for her, they worry about her. What we want most is for her to be well; She is the famous one and she is the one who has to talk, but we hope she reconsiders”.
She also spoke about the possibility of Lourdes being with her and her mother: “She has her home. We, despite being closer or further away, are always going to be there.” And aware that his words were going to resonate, he left a few words for his sister: “I want to tell her that I love her and that this is not against her, but for her to be okay.. Sometimes it is very difficult to get out, so even if they see that she forgave him or is with him, they are wrong. And that’s when we get on the other side.”
When asked how long it had been since he had seen his sister before the scandal, he did not give specific dates, although he did admit a distance: “I lost contact because what is not often talked about is that sometimes it is very difficult for the family to maintain a relationship with a person who is in this state or who thinks in a certain way and gets into a very toxic relationship. And at one point I had to walk away because I couldn’t help her anymore.”, he admitted.
Regarding the reasons that led her to make this decision, she pointed out the figure of García Gómez. “I walked away because of him, because of what he made him do, because of how he changed his mind.. And obviously, being vulnerable and believing a lie takes you to super dark places that doesn’t help.” Finally, Ana explained the reasons that led her mother to make the complaint public: “Because she is her daughter, because she loves her and we didn’t know if she was alive or not.”
