Speaking of people who experience family violence, the celebrity suggested that the solution to domestic abuse is to breathe deeply and ask "with all your heart" to the aggressors to suppress their anger.
"You have to breathe deeply. If you are in a house where you experience violence, screaming, hitting, I ask that person who yells at you, who hits you, who humiliates you, who insults you, ask him with all your heart to treat you as you would like to be treated or treated, "said Barbara.
"Please, I ask you to touch your soul and say, 'I am in this world, on this Earth to live happily and peacefully, not to live in fear,'" he added.

"Hey, Barbara de Regil, what if you better take a deep breath and shut up? I imagine that Ingrid Escamilla , skinned at the hands of her partner, could avoid what happened to her with 'deep breathing'", "As you can see you have no the slightest idea of what violence against women is "," This is speaking from privilege. It is believing that violence is a problem of attitude, not a structural crisis. No, violence is not solved by 'taking a deep breath' and giving these 'tips' can even put victims at risk, "were some of the comments of some tweeters.
