She was the center of controversy in March 2021 when, in reaction to an incident in which a Bogotá police officer was killed, she posted to Instagram, "Well, good, it has been a long time since we received such news. A policeman, serving his uniform, usually tries to avoid arriving before the criminals have left." She later added, "My condolences to the family of this brave policeman. Bogotá, I hope that you will recover soon from this wave of insecurity that assails you in all possible ways."
