Some EMELEC executives have been offended by a joke I made on TikTok, referring to the stadium. We all know that obviously the stadium is not crooked, it’s a joke. Trying to explain a joke is so absurd. You have to calm down. I already downloaded the video for your peace of mind

To alleviate the situation, the producer took three immediate measures: terminate the employment relationship with the comedian, because he did not request “permission to record his content” and for “not thinking about the consequences”; cancel the output of the production they had worked on; and remove from the accounts of the work team all the content recorded in the stadium, be it videos, photos and reels.
