The actresses have said 'enough!'
The samples of support for Souza have grown in the last hours as well as the comments about the identity of the aggressor. The filmmaker Gustavo Loza has rejected these accusations in his personal Twitter account and denounced that Televisa's measures lacked "foundation". In an interview on Radio Fórmula, Loza claimed to have had a romantic relationship with the actress in 2010, when they both worked on the television series Los Héroes del Norte and claims to have had strong feelings for the interpreter and that they were reciprocated by Souza.
Souza has worked in film and television in Mexico and the United States, where he appeared in the ABC series "How to Get Away With Murder." He starred in the highest grossing film of all time in Mexico before "Coco", "Nosotros los nobles" of 2013. In an interview with CNN, the actress described that at the beginning of her career a producer harassed her, pressed and groped her and that one night she finally raped her.
Televisa, the main television network in Mexico, broke relations with independent producer Gustavo Loza, after actress Karla Souza denounced that she was raped early in her career by a producer whose name she did not reveal.

Loza, on the other hand, respectfully asks Souza to clarify this situation before the media, mentioning the names of his assailants and, if applicable, the appropriate denunciations, so that these regrettable and reprehensible acts of which he has been victim, do not go unpunished.
