Ximena Pichel, an Argentine model and actress widely known as "Lady Racista," issued a public apology after videos surfaced showing her verbally abusing a Mexico City police officer with racist and classist insults. The incident occurred in the Condesa neighborhood, and the apology was described as sincere and without reservations. Pichel acknowledged her actions as a serious mistake, expressed deep regret, and stated she is undergoing therapy. Additional footage revealed further aggressive behavior by Pichel, including insults directed at a female security guard in a building where she reportedly owes over 150,000 pesos in maintenance fees. The Mexico City Council to Prevent Discrimination (COPRED) announced it would impose two sanctions against her for the incident. Legal experts noted that while Pichel cannot be deported for discrimination, she could face one to three years in prison and up to 100 days of community service for insulting a police officer. Pichel has stated she does not seek compassion but is willing to reflect on her behavior. The case has drawn public attention and criticism, with discussions about her mental health and responsibility, including comments from her former partner, actor Aarón Beas.
