He was abruptly interrupted by a visibly furious father who stormed the stage and hit him with a powerful punch.
“Those paedophilic comments about my son…say them to my face…you piece of trash…now!”
Instead, it was a reaction to a comment Caravaca had made on social media, which Pugilato found highly offensive.
This gives some context as to why the two men were at odds, doesn’t it?
Caravaca, however, left a provocative remark in the comments section of that post.
Prompted by this, Pugilato decided to confront Caravaca directly during his performance.
Pugilato continued to challenge Caravaca: “What were you saying, huh? That my son was going to eat c***? He’s three-months-old. Trash. Now what? Say it to my face…say it to my face now.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m just a father who is defending his child. He has made sexualising comments about my three-month-old son.”
After labeling the comedian a ‘clown’, Pugilato struck him once more before exiting the stage.
Police were summoned to the scene afterward, but no arrests were made since Caravaca chose not to press charges.
He stated: “After what happened, what was intended to be a joke was ultimately an unfortunate and not at all appropriate comment on my part.”
Responding to Caravaca’s apology, Pugliato remarked: “I accept your apology, Jaime. I defend freedom of expression in the same way that I defend the right to respond.
“I do not wish you any harm and I hope this helps others understand that children are sacred. All the best.”
