Days after Mexican telenovela actress Itatí Cantoral told the press in her native country she'd signed up to do some promo work for season 4 of Orange is the New Black, the clip is here -- and it is glorious. In it, the actress who played Maria la del Barrio villain, Soraya Montenegro, reprises her 90s role, this time as a Litchfield inmate with meme references galore!
Last Monday night, Netflix posted a clip in its Latin American Facebook page, with Soraya back for the first time in two decades, this time around caught in Litchfield Penitentiary for all the crimes she committed against Thalia's Maria la del Barrio.
The video, which is a composite of several scenes from previous OitNB seasons adding Soraya to them, starts with the telenovela villain being attacked by Crazy Eyes (Uzo Aduba) in the iconic pie-throwing scene; of course, this prompts a seriously threatening response from Soraya, while Crazy Eyes stares in bewilderment. She then goes to her room to find Soso (Kimiko Glenn) in her bed, to which she threatens a little more.
The same story repeats with season 2 villain Vee (Lorraine Toussaint), who looks terrified while facing someone obviously much worse than her; this also marks a hilarious moment as Soraya breaks the fourth wall to gleefully realize she can use curse words on Netflix, cursing in Spanish over and over again.
All the while, Soraya keeps using some of her favorite words from her Maria la del Barrio days, including "marginal" (which translates to "outcast"), "mosquita muerta" (literally "dead fly") and, of course, the pièce de résistance: "maldita lisiada" ("damn cripple"), the most iconic of all her moments in the 90s soap opera.
By the time the whole thing ends, Soraya does, once again, what everyone would expect from her when coming to "Naranja Es El Nuevo Negro": she cries in Spanish.
The video will be a fun throwback to Spanish-speaking audiences to arguably the most iconic villain in Mexican telenovela history, with all the over-acting and ridiculous violence one would hope to get from this.
At the time this article was written, 15 hours after the clip was originally posted, it had already reached 2.9 million views on Facebook, so it's safe to say Soraya is back!
Just in case you don't remember (or haven't seen) Soraya's most iconic moment from the 90s, here's the clip below as well.
