“The psychotic episode is not true,” Roberto Petersen reportedly emphasized while trying to quell the rumors that began to circulate after the news of the hospitalization broke.
Following the reports that circulated about the health of the renowned chef, Roberto Petersen clarified that his brother's hospitalization is due to a cardiac check-up.
“The psychotic episode is not true,” Roberto Petersen reportedly emphasized while trying to quell the rumors that began to circulate after the news of the hospitalization broke.
The chef also explained that his brother “has been stable for four months and showing progressive improvement,” which is why the hospitalization would be part of a previously scheduled medical follow-up.
In this way, the family sought to convey reassurance regarding the evolution of the renowned chef and requested caution when disseminating information about sensitive health-related issues.
However, a large number of people on social media have once again brought to light the theory that the chef's family is trying to cover up a severe drug addiction with these statements.
The first time Christian was hospitalized was five months ago when he suffered a decompensation during a hike on the Lanín volcano. However, during the nearly full month he was hospitalized, his entire circle maintained total silence on the matter.
In recent hours, the health of Christian Petersen has raised concern after it was revealed that he had been hospitalized at the German Hospital in Buenos Aires. Amid the speculation, reports began to circulate claiming that the renowned chef had experienced a psychotic episode. However, his family quickly came forward to deny that information.
It was his brother, Roberto Petersen, who decided to break the silence and publicly clarify the true state of the chef's health. Through a message sent to journalist Maribel Leone, the chef explained that the hospitalization is solely related to medical issues linked to a cardiac treatment.
“The admission is exclusively related to the regularization of his cardiac medication, as outlined by his doctors,” Roberto Petersen stated in the message that was later made public.
Additionally, he clarified that Christian Petersen's current condition is stable and that specialists decided to keep him hospitalized as a precaution to conduct checks and adjustments to the appropriate medication.
According to details provided by the family, there was no situation related to extreme stress or psychiatric crises, as speculated on social media and some media outlets in recent hours.
