Actress Romina Gaetani spoke for the first time about the gender-based violence she experienced at the hands of her ex-partner, Luis Cavanagh, and the difficult time she is going through after reporting the businessman. According to the Argentine News Agency, police reporter Mauro Szeta revealed that the prosecution requested the accused's detention and the case was filed as aggravated injuries in the context of gender-based violence. Gaetani described the mix of emotions that victims go through in these situations: 'You feel a lot of confusion, a lot of fear.' She added: 'I got out of bed as best I could.' The damage to her health was so great that Romina questioned the need to continue listening to the testimonies: 'The person who should be in that place is the one who hit, so that he can become aware of what he did.' The actress recounted the harrowing details of the violence, remembering the moment she was able to ask for help from lawyer Eliana Wasserman, who witnessed the aggression over the phone: 'I called her at the time of the facts and she was able to hear when he was grabbing me by the wrists. The only thing I thought was that I had to say something to the security man so that he would understand me quickly.' She also spoke about the security guard at the gate, who did not let her out onto the street, allowing the police and ambulance to arrive quickly at the scene. 'I still can't find the words,' the actress concluded, mentioning that she needed the help of her mother, her lawyer, and a friend to file the complaint after the incident. 'Last week I had to go to the prosecutor's office. It left me physically exhausted: 'I got into bed, I couldn't do anything else. On Saturday I was doubled over with pain. It doesn't make sense to me.'
