Ana de Armas Faces Backlash Over Relationship

Actress Ana de Armas is facing backlash for her relationship with Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuban dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel. Many in the Cuban community, particularly in Miami, criticize her for associating with the regime that she distanced herself from after leaving Cuba at 18. Critics argue that her connection to Anido Cuesta symbolizes a betrayal, as he enjoys a privileged lifestyle while many Cubans face poverty under Díaz-Canel’s rule. Social media has amplified the discontent, with calls for brands like Estée Lauder and Louis Vuitton to reconsider their association with her. Despite the controversy, de Armas has remained largely silent on the matter, limiting comments on her social media. The situation highlights the ongoing struggles of the Cuban people under an oppressive regime, as economic hardship and political repression persist.
