She wasnt at the beggining of her carrier. La mentira is from 1998, Ramona is from 2000, El derecho del nacer is from 2021. She was already a star even in Ex-Yugoslavia. She was a big star among people who were watching telenovelas. And she is a daughter of a very, very famous mexican actor Eric del Castillo. I remember her wedding. It was followed in our newspapers. So, THIS can really happen to everyone.

[@SC-sn3xs]

She's actually an amazing talented and celebrated actress in the Hispanic community. Definitely an icon. Some men will see a vibrant woman, be attracted by her light then try to crush the same woman's self esteem until she's become an empty shell of what she used to be. To then leave her dry for another woman's brightness and say her fire wasn't warm enough.

[@Paola-jf2qf]

I dated a narcissist man. Seemed like he was always in competition with me for some reason. He was always trying to teach me to be "more humble" I was not humble enough. For him the only humble people were low income like him and his family. However middle class families and people who were middle class were sobs etc. He always criticized me. If anyone ever criticized him he would actually cry or go into a rage. My parents warned about him, my friends warned me about him, his mother and sister warned me about his temper. The best thing that happened to me was that he cheated on me with my Dad's accountant (50). He (28) still wanted to marry me (23). I cut all contact with him. I did miss some parts, but I actually felt free. Really free and Like I could breath again. I married my best friend a couple of years later. The ex tried to come back in my life one year in a half into dating my best friend. I loved how sure of me my then boyfriend (now husband) was and how he reacted to the whole situation. I knew had the roles been reversed how horrid everything was. I completely ignored my ex and the rumors he was spreading that he wanted me back and he was going to fight for me. Never happened. I am so happy now. I Know deep down inside I would never be this free, or happy. I could even be beaten.

[@killerqueen7489]

And that's the thing...a lot of us think we are exempt from something like this. We truly believe we are strong and independent and no one in the world could tear us down, but it could happen to absolutely anyone, no matter how beautiful, wealthy, famous and powerful you are. That's why it's always important to have empathy and never judge other women harshly in relationships or say "she's so stupid for staying" or whatever mean things people say. We're talking about a victim here. Someone who is most likely codependent and requires self assurance constantly, someone who has most likely been isolated from all her family and friends. It is difficult to leave.

[@Ashnesss]

Codependency and abandonment are different things. There are men and women with immense support who don’t leave, knowing that they’re being abused. That means that they CONSENT to being in abusive relationships. They do not reject it. There’s a big difference. Don’t mix different things.

Number one thing is you have to start healing yourself, inside and out the easiest things to do are to start eating healthier and start exercising. This will help your pain as well. I learned how to take car of my body from dr ken Berry and his wife here on KZbin I learned all about Keto and carnivore and how they really can heal mental problems as well as physical problems. You start to lose weight and fell better and gain some confidence when you see what you are capable of. You see a therapist, get accessed for adult adhd, I’m blown away at how many of us women are under diagnosed because if you aren’t treating it everything will be 10 times harder than it has to be. Be careful with antidepressants, I found that my anxiety and depression were due to untreated adhd. It makes you vulnerable and you can lose control of your life and it’ll make it so easy for a predator to step in and take advantage of you. Just my story. Always remember it is NEVER too late and you are NEVER too broken. ❤️❤️❤️

[@klzprz5539]

I come form a very strong all-women household. My mother suffered much mistreatment n ridicule by my father n his family bc she was only 13 when they married. She made sure we her 4 girls would never go through the same thing, by instilling in us confidence, courage n self value. Her teaching was so constant n strong that most of us have never experienced abuse in any way n the only one that somewhat did, took off as soon as she saw the chance (not before giving him a little taste of what momma taught us). I’m trying to say that a strong woman is mostly built during her childhood by teaching her her value n always letting her know the people who love her will always be there for her. Experiences will only strengthen that which is already in you. Trust me, the voice of a mother in your head n heart is stronger than any other human power.

Kate, I have known you as an actress for a long time and never thought that someone in your position, let's just say, of " privilege", could have been the victim of domestic abuse. It shows it could happen to anyone. I agree with you about the idea of women having to sacrifice their values in order to validate themselves. We still continue to see ourselves as victims, instead of, as strong and independent. A woman doesn't have to exist solely in function of a man. It's time to change the way we see ourselves.

Wow. I didn't know this about her and i respect her even more for sharing her story with us. Thank you, Kate. I've come to my own theory on strong women and abusive cowardly men. It seems some men enjoy doing this to strong, goal oriented and confident women the most. I've always wondered if its like a strange challenge to see how far they can tear a strong woman's internal compass, identity and soul apart? And, it all ultimately leads to a newly created woman that doesn't recognize herself anymore. A newly created women that let her guard down and morphed into a codependent person that didn't exist prior to meeting him. I can tell codependency isn't something that was a part of her. It was a taught behavior. Her vulnerability and love was misused, abused and broken to make her feel less than when he was feeling low about his accomplishments. To break her piece by piece till she was left wondering where her soul went while feeling lost and unaware of the new person she had slowly become. I'm happy she is on the road to mental, emotional and physical reperation. May she continue to gain back all she lost. All the self love, strength and confidence she use to possess prior to meeting him. God bless her.

She is very brave to share this. Also, she looks absolutely amazing. Feels like only yesterday I was watching her in La Mentira but surprise. It was over 20 years ago!

[@lucialopez7153]

Thank you for sharing❤️ It’s not easy to talk about it It happened to me when I was 18yrs old I’m in my mid 40’s and I still think about it often

[@marysemalka425]

Kate you could never be ugly , you are one of the most beautiful women I saw on tv it's so sad when we could cross paths with someone as weak as this horrible man if we could call him that, because men don't do that. The first time I saw you was on the soap Alas ..... someone was watching it and I got hooked on it even though I don't speak spanish and didn't understand it, but through watching it I learned and you are an amazing actress, you should be proud of yourself that you walked away from this person. I went through that when I was 19 yrs. old so I know what you are going through. I wish you so much strength and never let anyone call you ugly or worthless no one is that but the person who speaks it.

[@nikicarrie4071]

I’m glad she got out . Nobody deserve that

[@sk.n.9302]

Thanks for beng brave enough to share this. It helps, I’ve been a victim as well.

[@anitalucero65]

Thank you for being strong and sharing what an amazing woman God Bless you 😇

[@reginapolo3357]

I'm so sorry you had to go thru that. I went thru psychological and emotional abuse. Te adoro.

[@jjohnson6833]

I wish I could give you a hug … I’m so sorry you went through this. 💖💖💖 you are so strong. Our loving nature can get twisted by bad but charming men. You are a hero to get out of that situation. Your story will inspire other women to leave men who would victimize them. 💖

[@teresaf612]

Thank you for sharing your story. I pray that at least one person has listened carefully enough to take action, if needed.THANK YOU

Ya había escuchado rumores de que este tipejo la golpeaba durante su matrimonio, pero que ella lo diga es desgarrador, bien por ella que dijo no más👍 ojalá que este testimonio inspire a otras mujeres que estén pasando por eso y que reciban el apoyo que necesiten.

[@RenataVallazza]

I’m so sorry you went through that. I went through something similar. But not to the degree you went.

[@HiTechMom]

Thank you for sharing your story!

[@julianapaternina1685]

Thank you for have the courage to share your story ❤️

[@hectornegron9155]

Never imagined she would be going through that ordeal. I've looked at her as a very strong woman, basically by watching her work in which she usually plays strong women also. Looks can be deceiving as they say.

[@catherinearroyo5359]

Because she went through that abuse, it doesn't mean she isn't strong!

[@greatestshopper1077]

We appreciate Your sharing your pain. And NO APOLOGIES Necessary ❤️

[@DW-bc2gl]

Whoo hoo! Liberating! 🌹 Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@angelaviolet]

Kate, stay away from these men, keep your distance and only have good friends, men or women. You're so beautiful and they only want to possess and control you. Stay free.

[@dianalewis8548]

I love her acting. Watched her in many novellas. Mexico loves her and her Dad. Had no idea she was tortured like this. God bless her.

[@carolodonovan6303]

Yes,been there.Brave women,❤ taken your power back through talking about it.❤

[@jflo7674]

My son's father did the exact same thing to me. It took me years to recover and believe I was beautiful again. These men aren't men. They are bullies. And Kate is a wonderful woman and actress with the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.

[@juanitalopez4631]

Wow , never would’ve imagined you went through this horrific experience ! I’m so happy that you got out and thank you for sharing with all of us 🙏❤️🙏 You’re an amazing and inspirational woman on many levels 😘🤗😘

[@classycoupon4120]

Thanks for sharing 🌹 I am learning self respect. I’ve learned some individuals have an ungodly agenda to terrorize and degrade a woman. Some live to tell the story and many don’t.

[@Princess.09436]

Poor kate … never new she suffered so much , when she has this inner strength in her that I would see in her . Thank Jesus that she was able to her out of this toxic relationship and she found herself again. We love you kate !!!

[@ThePurna100]

Thanks for sharing your story.

[@cutzymccall7675]

Kate the Great. Thank you for speaking up to give other women courage and know that they are not alone. I can't wait to see you in your next films.

[@Plebe-wv9im]

Thank you for sharing your story.

[@TheAngieloks]

I know exactly what you mean. I was in a bad relationship , like you . he broke me and my self esteem was on the floor . Verbal, physical and emotional abuse I went thru. He left me after 10 years and I was able to find myself, come back up stronger and learned how to love myself . Love you Kate !!! Such a strong beautiful woman !!! Wish I would’ve had the strenght to leave him like you did .

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

Thanks for sharing..it's important

[@Sangfroid2]

Don’t ever beat yourself up for loving! It’s not you but rather them who lacks sincerity and compassion!

[@luisaamori1322]

For such an amazing woman with such talent and beauty...much love and compassion.

[@StarStar-zn4wg]

Thank you for sharing Kate. I being a big fan of you and you father, am truly honored that you have shared this. Indeed… abuse that being verbal, mental, physical is not discriminatory… sadly it is every where. We women are strong, all around… each one of us have endured these forms of abuse. It is up to us as you Kate have commented on your experience. I once said that I felt broken to pieces with my experience… once you think that way… in reality, we are not broken… it’s are armor that got cracked and that my beautiful ladies… to me is STRENGTH!

[@domy6827]

He is the one in the wrong. She did not do something wrong to deserve this.

[@bettymontes1591]

Thank you for sharing!!! Love u Kate 💓

[@caror.7629]

Cómo me identifico contigo Kate! Lo mismo pase yo con mi ex esposo , pero mi cobardía duro 9 años , yo le tenía tanto miedo que nunca me atreví a pedirle el divorcio por se volvía un monstruo abusivo , hasta que de el salió la decisión por qué conoció una chica menor que yo 18 años y se volvió loco por ella , luego gracias a Dios pude librarme de el ...y se fue a abusar a otra 😶

[@monicahernandez767]

Thank you 😢😢

[@JenShea]

So appreciate Kate for sharing this!!

[@madelynnazario8361]

Highly insecure men act like this. My ex was a narcissist like her husband. I thank God that I divorced him and got to be me again. Falling in love with one self is amazing...always be true, have self love and move ahead without fear.

[@butchlane4609]

Hurt people, Hurt people. When someone goes out of their way to try and make others unhappy its actually a reflection of their own thinking. In the mind of an abuser they want everyone else to be as unhappy as they are.
