Lucila Righi made a strong accusation against her father public through social networks. In her testimony, the victim explains that she was subjected to repeated abuse. "Enough of silence,"
The daughter of Oscar Righi, guitarist from 1990 to 2016
of Bersuit Vergarabat, denounced that her father subjected her to sexual and
psychological abuse. The young woman who now goes by the name of Ume Bôshi
published an extensive text on her Facebook profile where she relates
situations of sexual violence experienced during her childhood and her
childhood.
“My name was Lucía Righi, my dad Oscar Righi sexually and
psychologically abused me and other women and people for as long as I can
remember,” she began. “For as long as I can remember, I've been afraid of
the dark. He said that a shadowy man came to touch me and talk to me at
night. I couldn't sleep quietly until I was 11 years old. When I was little,
strange things happened to me, she had cynical thoughts and blamed me
afterwards, ”said the young woman in her text.
In a narrative sense, the musician's daughter made reference to
numerous occasions in which she, since she was very little, was subjected to
“nightmares” and “sadistic games”. “Luli the liar suddenly, she said that
she was sexually abused at school. And daddy took her to the psychologist,
and automatically daddy told luli that her mom was a demon, that he
mistreated her and that I had to go live with him” (sic), Lucila recalled
regarding the moment when she was 8 years old and managed to say what was
happening to him, and added: "Daddy had the idea at that precise moment and
impulsively to create a new family, and upset me until I hated my entire
maternal family when I was 8 years old."
“Daddy asked me to take a bath with him, it was fine,
right? She was a girl. Daddy asked me to take a bath with him... I'm already
13, don't you think that's a little weird? Daddy touched my body while he
slept, okay? No, because it can't be true because I was horrible, I wasn't
like the others, I was just a good partner for chats, for downloads, ”she
pointed out.
In addition, the young woman gave details of the daily
mistreatment that she suffered, from comparisons with her sisters by the
musician, as well as aberrant situations of touching and sexual abuse. "He
enjoyed my anguish, and he got excited about it," said Ume Bôshi.
In other passages, the complainant described different
behaviors that could be classified as sexual abuse, having been exposed to
drugs and having suffered physical violence on a regular basis: "Papa didn't
contradict anything, if the hair-pulling and screaming didn't start."
As a result of the abuse, the young woman explained that she
suffered panic attacks, that she engaged in self-injurious behavior and
bulimia, which led her to weigh 35 kilos at the age of 16 and to have to be
hospitalized several times due to dehydration. "And every time he wanted to
leave on my own, the violence he exerted on me is speechless," she said in
another paragraph of her heartbreaking testimony.
At the end of the publication, the daughter of the musician who
formed the group La Rayada together with the actress and singer Romina
Gaetani with whom he was in a relationship for seven years, said that he
hoped that "all the women and people abused by Oscar Righi can say it ” and
called for “not to romanticize the famous”.
“This case is not more important than others
because it is Oscar de Bersuit. I speak and publish so as not to be silent,
so that we can all speak, not to foment hatred, if we do not follow the same
circle, "she completed.
Later, in another post, Lucila thanked the support received. In
addition, she acknowledged that the anguish continues, but she explained
that she decided to tell her story to raise awareness and encourage all
victims to do so and report abuse. In addition, she assured her father that
she is no longer afraid: “I am here, Oscar, this is the last poem I dedicate
to you, enjoy it, but this does not end here. I'm on fire, I'm no longer a
victim, and let no one feel sorry for me. I'm not afraid anymore."
