Jaime Bayly’s response
“I wrote about an actor who looked like you… because what we experienced together, which was not minor, seemed to me like an explosive fuel to light the sacred fire of art, of literature. It was not an attack on you: it was a tribute to you, “said Jaime Bayly.
Later, he affirmed that Diego Bertie took it as a lack of respect for his person because “he was not able to assume” his sexual orientation, at that time, almost 30 years ago. “But the suffering was not caused by me: you imposed it on yourself for being afraid of the truth,” he added.

How long were Jaime Bayly and Diego Bertie a couple?
According to Jaime Bayly’s version, her romance with Diego Bertie lasted two years and was very intense. This statement would deny what the actor said on the program “Magaly TV, the firm”, because he assured that it was fleeting and inconsequential because there was no love.
“My relationship with him (Bertie) was not short and it was not unsuccessful, and it was not irrelevant either. It lasted a couple of years. He was my first man. I loved it. I didn’t know how to love him, we didn’t know how to love each other, but I loved him,” the writer said.

Jaime Bayly disappointed because Diego Bertie called him “paunchy”
In another paragraph of his column, Bayly showed himself sad and upset because Diego Bertie called him “bourgeois and paunchy.” In this regard, the Peruvian novelist explained that his weight gain is due to the medications he consumes to treat his bipolarity.
“I am definitely fat. He is one meter eighty six, weighs 100 kilos. I’m not fat, I’m fat! But I am a writer, I live by my words (…) It doesn’t matter if I’m fat or not (…) I’m fat because I’m bipolar. The pills I take, not a few, to regulate this mental disorder make me fat”, Jaime Bayly expressed in his defense.
