This Is The Most Cringeworthy Telenovela Scene Of All-Time, This is Soraya Montenegro (played by Itati Cantoral). She’s the main antagonist from the iconic telenovela María la del Barrio.
Televisa
There are not enough words in the English language to describe just how evil this woman is. She’s just… evil. Pure evil. She’s Satan.

While Soraya delivered some breathtaking moments throughout the telenovela’s run, there is one scene that stands out above the rest.
A scene so drenched in melodrama that it’s now reached legendary status.
The setup: Soraya is having a party. At this party, Nandito sneaks into Alicia’s room, and professes his love to her. He then asks to give her a kiss and she’s like, “YAAAAASSS!!!”
Alicia is Soraya’s stepdaughter and she happens to be disabled. Nandito is the son of Soraya’s ex-husband, who she’s still CRAZY in love with (Repeat: CRAZY). Nandito and Alicia being together would probably cause Soraya’s head to explode. So it would be very bad news if Soraya found out about this romance. VERY. BAD. NEWS.
So, Nandito goes in for a kiss…
Televisa
Awkward AF but you get the point.
…only to have Soraya walk in on them and TOTALLY LOSE HER SHIT.
Soraya proceeds to verbally tear Alicia a new asshole:
Televisa
Translation: “YOU STUPID FUCKING BRAT! AAAHHHHHHH!!!”
And then proceeds to call her own stepdaughter a “disabled demon” and she’s going to give her an ass-whoopin’ she’ll never forget.
Televisa
“¡INVALIDA DEL DEMONIO!” — Parent of the year.
And Alicia is like…
Soraya lunges at Alicia, but Nandito and the nanny stop her. Soraya overpowers both of them, and tosses them aside like a bunch of ragdolls.
She grabs Alicia and shakes her violently, as you do in a traditional throwdown.
Televisa
“I’M GONNA KILL YOU!” — Stepmom.
Nandito finally gets off his ass and tries to stop this madness, but Soraya slaps the shit out of him.
Televisa
Nandito is fucking useless.
The nanny tries calling for help by shouting this…
Televisa
Translation: “THIS WOMAN IS CRAZY! SHE HAS THE DEVIL INSIDE HER!”
She’s not totally wrong.
While this is happening, Nandito tries restraining Soraya, but they knock over poor Alicia.
Televisa
Who apparently weighs 0.1 pounds.
Nandito THROWS himself over the bed to make sure Alicia is OK.
Televisa
Nandito turns into mothafuckin’ ACTION JACKSON.
This dude in a suit shows up and he’s like, “Yo… WTF?!”
Instead of restraining Soraya, this dude goes to check on Alicia. Soraya lunges at the nanny and begins bashing her head against the wall.
And knocks her out.
Televisa
It should be noted that some of the partygoers walk in the bedroom and watch the drama unfold… They do nothing to stop it.
Nandito goes to check on the nanny to make sure she’s not… like… dead. Soraya screams, “IF SHE’S NOT DEAD, I’M GONNA FINISH KILLING HER!!!”
Televisa
Why is the nanny getting attacked? Who knows. It’s never fully explained.
Soraya tosses the dude in the suit and is like, “GET OFF ME, FOOL!” and happens to place her hand on a pair of scissors.
Televisa
Because… yeah.
SORAYA STABS NANDITO IN THE ARM!
Televisa
And in some distant location, Nandito’s mom, Maria (played by Thalia), feels her son’s pain. You can tell because Maria clenches her chest and makes a weird face.
The dude in the suit takes Soraya into another room and he’s like, “YOU GOIN’ TO JAIL NOW!”
Televisa
Soraya is like, “FRNJKSBIRCSKJB AHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Meanwhile, Nandito is on the ground moaning about his stab wound.
Televisa
“IT HURTS! OUCHIE!” — Nandito.
And these fools are like, “Uhhhhhhhhhhh…”
Televisa
“This is a crime,” says the lady in gold.
NO SHIT!
Alicia yells at the partygoers to help out Nandito. She screams, “I CAN’T HELP HIM! I’M IN A WHEELCHAIR!”
Televisa
Nandito just sits there and plays with his blood. Fucking useless.
The partygoers finally get their shit together and carry Nandito to a hospital, who apparently passed out.
Soraya screams at her guests, “IF YOU REPORT ME TO THE POLICE, I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!”
Televisa
What happens in Soraya’s house, stays in Soraya’s house.
In the end, after all that melodrama, NO ONE IN THIS FUCKING SCENE HELPS OUT THE POOR NANNY.
