It is joy wherever it goes. Positivity and smile are his two hallmarks, but Boris Izaguirre's life also has its sad episodes. One of them has just been revealed by the presenter himself in a sincere interview with Mónica Naranjo, who is launching a new television program in Spain, Mónica y el sexo. She had already told it in her book Time of Storms, but this time it was in her own voice.

The writer, who maintains a beautiful friendship with the singer, confessed that he suffered a multiple rape at age 14. "I had an incredible need for exposure and infinite curiosity and that could have led me to be subjected to many more abuses than I suffered," he said in his sincere testimony.

On this trip to Brazil of both friends, Monica has made another trip through the life of the dearest Venezuelan, marked by moments of pain but also of improvement. Looking back and reliving that harsh abuse, Boris reaches a strong but also realistic conclusion.

"It's not that I'm grateful that it happened to me, but sometimes I think that thankfully that violation was as brutal as it was because everything that could have been a constant abuse was concentrated in that one time," he explains seriously.

The performance of his mother Belén at that time was crucial. “She saw me lying on the floor with a broken arm and quickly arranged everything to take me to the doctor. I was in a huge shock but I realized that by telling him the whole truth I could find some level of healing, Boris continues.

She will never forget the words of her mother, now deceased, a piece of advice that opened her eyes to that other, more beautiful side of life, of love, work and dreams. “Don't let this event make you change. That is true violence. May this force you to be different,”she said.

The result is obvious to the eye. Boris is a successful, hard-working, fighter and good man, with an enormous desire to live and do a million things. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this companion testimony.
