Fayna Bethencourt was the main protagonist of ‘Save me‘, although surely he would have liked that his experience had never happened and, therefore, not have to tell it on television. However, there are times when the big screen does fulfill its public service and that is how the one who was a partner of the former contestant of ‘Big Brother‘Carlos Navarro, or better known as’ El Yoyas’. Her case, as a victim of gender violence, has served in the last hours so that both publicly and privately, thousands of women who unfortunately live in a similar situation take her example.
His story, told to give visibility
Although it is not the first time that he relates his experiences in his relationship, since last December he granted an interview to the magazine ‘Readings‘, Fayna has given a lot to talk about in the last hours, facing a situation as traumatic as the one she had to live. Fortunately, his life is very different now, and is that among other things he has seen how his ex-partner was sentenced to six years in prison precisely for mistreatment, injuries and threats. “I have rebuilt my life and I have done it well, you can go out and it’s the message I want to convey “, he began acknowledging the audience.
Possibly his hardest interview was the one that he lived with Carlota Corredera just a few hours ago, in which he admitted that “I got lost for a long time. I was annulled for 16 years“She was referring to their relationship, the same one in which she acknowledges that she came to feel obliged to modify her behaviors in order to avoid problems with ‘El Yoyas’, the father of her children. During all these years of relationship, Fayna admits that she has also lived “very beautiful” moments, although there are things that are unjustifiable.
His awakening came after living “a more violent episode than normal” physically, so “it broke what he felt for that person and I still lived with him for at least four or five more years“. Fayna, who has become a trend in social networks in recent hours, ended this delicate interview by sending” a message so that what I went through is not passed by others, “she acknowledged about the purpose of her presence this past afternoon in ‘Save me’.
@salvameoficial Your story sounds so familiar to me Fayna, I lived it the same … for 14 years … and my children were the ones who gave me the strength to get out of there … when the day also came, my day, because we don’t dare to go out until that is not our moment … our mind clicks.

How important is Fayna’s story telling what the spiral of sexist violence is like. And more, on a prime-time show.
Thank you, Fayna ????– Eva Míguez Porto (@EvaMPorto) January 28, 2021

We have not had to wait long to see the first reactions on social networks to his testimony, among which they have highlighted messages as hard as they are true from some people who, sadly, have or are even going through the same situation. The messages of those who empathized with his suffering and who sent all the encouragement and affection have also been read after having shown their courage on television.
