The face of Tilsa Lozano She shuddered again as, after many years, she relived one of the darkest episodes of her life: the night in which her then partner, a young man of just 24, brutally attacked her, burned her with a cigarette and even stuck a knife to her throat. This memory, buried by an emotional self-defense mechanism, according to the model, accompanied her for years like a silent ghost that today she decides to show, not to create morbidity, but to warn and, above all, to heal.
Sit in front of it Beto Ortizin the confessional “The Value of Truth”the former model replied bluntly when she heard the question that opened the wound: “Did they burn your face with a cigarette?” Tilsa He took a deep breath before letting it out “Yes” resounding, a truth that appeared accompanied by the characteristic sound of the lie detector verdict. Had 18 yearswhile he, his partner at the time, was around 24.
The driver wanted to know if her father knew the story, and Tilsa confirmed this in a quiet but firm voice, even though he was already deceased. He then revealed that his attacker was no longer alive. “He had an accidental death, a terrible death that I wouldn’t wish on anyone, not even the person who burned my face.”he confessed.
But the attack was much more than an unlit cigarette on his skin. It was a Horror nighta sequence of extreme violence that she remembers in fragments, as if her mind had decided to cover her with a blanket to protect her. “I came home from work. I was a waitress in a nightclub at the time. It was four in the morning and when I walked in he hid. As soon as I walked in the door he beat me up. He burned my face, he burned my feet.” “He held a knife to my throat.”he told.
This morning the young model was alone. No one heard his screams or saw his attacker get upset Drugssubjected her to an episode that she described as a real hell. Beto tried to clarify the situation, asking her how long she had been detained, but she clarified that it was not the kidnapping episode she once referred to, but an hours-long attack that would have been worse without her mother.
“My mother appeared at eight in the morning. I don’t know how, I don’t know why. My mother has this connection to me: She appears without anyone looking for her. She banged on the door, kicked it… and found me burned. She took me out of there.”he recalled, his voice broken.
Camila, a close friend who was present at the interview, also remembered the scene. “His face looked like an ashtray. He had crusts all over his cheek and on his feet. And it was very shocking because he wasn’t like that. He was a hippie, relaxed, sensitive. We tried to understand what drove him to achieve something so brutal.”. It was this contrast that confused everyone.
The friend explained that some time later they both discovered items in the house that showed the attacker had used hard drugs. “We found a spoon, a lighter, baking soda… a complete set. His mind was already bad. The drug.” “I had upset him.”he said.
Tilsa nodded. “He was a happy boy, a good person. But jealousy and drugs… Jealousy drives her crazy.”he mused. She added tearfully: “I think I chose her that way. I was the one who was wrong for many years.”
Tilsa’s father, who was present on the set, confessed that he did not know this story in detail. “What’s already there is already there. Smart people learn from their mistakes. That’s something I don’t like, but the past can’t be changed.”
When asked why he didn’t get in touch, his answer was disarming: “I felt sorry for him.” And then he added roughly: “Because I was stupid, because I was eighteen.”
Years later she saw him again. Tilsa remembered this moment as a shock: “It was like I was seeing the devil. He was standing behind a fence and watching me.”The subject lived in Cusco, dedicated herself to working as a DJ and, according to the model, came to stalk her during an event she was attending. “I think he was high that night too.”
Regarding his death, Tilsa was clear: it was a police case that she preferred not to elaborate on. “He’s already gone, for what? He died in his law.”Despite everything, he showed compassion: “I think he wasn’t a bad person. He was someone who committed evil acts under the influence of drugs.”
