José Eduardo Derbez Explains Paola Dalay’s laughter

José Eduardo Derbez Explains Paola Dalay’s Laughter at Series Premiere José Eduardo Derbez publicly addressed and clarified a controversy surrounding his partner, Paola Dalay, laughing during the August 27 premiere of his series Hotel Todo Incluido, explaining that the laughter was directed at a member of the press rather than co-star Sofía Castro’s outfit.

Both Derbez and Dalay had previously denied mocking Castro’s vestuario amid widespread speculation following the red carpet event. On October 29, during an episode of his podcast ‘Mixologando’ featuring guest Gema Garoa, Derbez provided a detailed explanation of the incident.

Clarifying the Red Carpet Moment

According to Derbez, the viral interaction occurred when they reached the media area at the end of the red carpet. He recounted seeing a woman from the press being repeatedly pushed against a small barrier and pointing this out to Dalay, which prompted her laughter.

Es que había una señora, al final de la alfombra roja, parte de la prensa, que la estaban empuje y empuje contra la bardita, Derbez stated, noting that he had told Paola Pobre señora, la están empuje y empuje y empuje right as Sofía approached.

The actor also shared that behind the scenes, he had actually complimented Castro on her arrival time and her shorts, stating Oye, te ves muy guapa y me encantaron esos shorts, while Dalay added Sí, te ves muy bonita.

Messages With Sofía Castro

Admitting that he felt embarrassed by the rumors, Derbez explained that he reached out directly to Angélica Rivera’s daughter to clear the air. He sent her a message assuring her that they shared a close history and that the laughter was never directed at her.

According to Derbez, Castro responded with understanding, telling him Güey, lo sé perfecto. Sé que no va por ahí, and confirmed that she had clarísimo that neither he nor Dalay were judging her appearance.
