The National Commission of Telecommunications in Venezuela (Conatel) has banned "La Reina del Sur" three days before the series' premiere, leaving the show's star Kate del Castillo without words.

According to TVNotas, Conatel told Galaxy Entertainment, the Venezuelan arm of DirecTV, to stop airing "La Reina del Sur" because it glamorizes narco-trafficking.

CEO of Conatel William Castillo explained that television and film productions focused on themes like those of "La Reina Del Sur" "glorify the life of people involved in narcotraffic and promote values that go against the Venezuelan family," reported Latin Times.

The star of the Spanish-language show, Castillo, took to social media to express her opinion about Venezuela's surprising decision.

The actress posted a promotional photo of herself from the series, originally posted by People en Espñol, and captioned it with "Sin Palabras." The actress didn't say anything else, but did ask her followers on the social media platform to share their thoughts on her Instagram account.

Fans did not disappoint. Some supported the ban, but others were frustrated and considered the idea ridiculous.

One fan wrote on the star's Instagram that when the show aired in Panama, it had horrible consequences, with "the youth copying what they see on the show" and becoming involved in illegal activity.

Another fan, however, had a completely different opinion and showed support for people's right to watch whatever they want.

"I'd die to see the story, acting and everything...I am Venezuelan. The violence and delinquency is uncontrollable here. They are too hypocritical, they should dedicate themselves to controlling the delinquents that murder people daily and leave the people with their freedom to enjoy themselves watching movies and novelas that they feel like watching," read another comment.

Other fans took to Twitter to respond to the issue, with some claiming it was an issue of communism or sexism. Still others pointed out that the series makes criminals look good at a time when Venezuela is struggling with high rates of crime.
