Veneno is a new series on HBOMax based on real events of a trans sex worker who became a Spanish media sensation. The show follows the lives of Cristina La Veneno Ortiz Rodriguez and a young journalism student, who would go on to co-write the memoir that serves as the basis for the series, Not a Whore, Not a Saint: The Memories of la Veneno. In the ‘90s, Veneno was a trans sex worker with infamously huge tits—until she is discovered by a TV reporter for a late-night show called Esta Noche Cruzamos El Mississippi.
The reporter sees Veneno as someone who can bring shock value to the show, but Veneno and her friends know that she is a star in the making. The one-time TV appearance becomes the start of a cultural shift in Spain’s understanding of trans women. Unfortunately, the Spanish media chewed her up and spit her out, which the show uncovers throughout the eight episode series.
