Beto Casella once again found himself at the center of attention after recalling a television episode that still causes a stir. The host spoke bluntly about the heated clash he had with Yanina Latorre in 2014, when she ended up crying on the air.
The topic came up during his appearance on La Noche de Mirtha (El Trece), where Casella went over how that awkward moment at Mirtha Legrand's table unfolded.

What did Beto Casella say about the clash with Yanina Latorre
Casella recalled that the tension arose from a direct question from the host. While he denied being at odds with Latorre, she replied that the opposite was true.
According to what he recounted, the atmosphere heated up because of comments from the rest of the table. "A kind of bullying situation broke out," he explained, alluding to the collective pressure that ended up overwhelming his colleague.
The live crying and Mirtha's reaction
"When the commotion started, she began to cry", Casella related. In that context, he launched a sharp remark aimed at the host: "It was your fault, Chiquita".
Legrand immediately distanced herself from responsibility and shot back that he had been the one to blame. When he was asked about their current relationship, Casella was blunt: "So-so," he replied, making it clear that there is neither a close relationship nor an open conflict.
Can Marcelo Polino host Bendita?
Meanwhile, new developments emerged regarding the future of Bendita after Casella's departure. The show is currently hosted by Edith Hermida on El Nueve.
