Actors, journalists, influencers, and entertainment figures spoke out immediately. While some celebrated what they defined as a key institutional milestone, others chose a discourse of unconditional defense of the convicted leader.
A divide that was mirrored among celebrities
From the fields of art and journalism, positions were polarized. Some prominent figures aligned themselves with the "lawfare" narrative and denounced alleged judicial persecution. Others, meanwhile, emphasized the importance of the ruling as a milestone in the fight against government corruption.
One of the first to announce that Tuesday would definitely be the day the court would rule was journalist Jonatan Viale, from TN and Ángel de Brito shared that post on X.

The messages spread with viral speed. Within minutes, the news and reactions occupied the top spots in Twitter trends and quickly became a major topic in the media agenda.
Support for the Court and a chain reaction
Those who defended the judicial decision highlighted the Court's role as a guarantor of democratic order. They considered it a firm ruling, based on evidence, that sets limits on the impunity of those in power. In line with this, journalist Yanina Latorre wrote "Convicted" and political humorist Nik wrote "CFK RE-PRISON" over the image of a hydroelectric dam.

In contrast, there was no shortage of posts seeking to downplay the conviction. Some entertainment figures shared messages denouncing an alleged political ban, repeating the former president's narrative without nuance. The tone was more emotional than legal.
C5N host Jorge Rial wrote on X "We were going to be Germany, but no. In the end, we're Venezuela." Shortly after posting, he celebrated having the most-watched show in his time slot.

The message fromMalena Pichotwas closer to the violence that erupted later when Kirchnerist activists destroyed the company Artear, where Canal 13 and TN broadcast daily. "Come and tell me you're not fascists. These sons of bitches who put Cristina in prison without evidence," she claimed.
Meanwhile, actress Nancy Dupláa expressed her support for the convicted former president with an image of a book that read "I have a pain here, on the side of the homeland," with music from the band led by Kirchnerist Indio Solari, "Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota."

Amid the noise, the ruling remained firm. The Supreme Court not only upheld the conviction but also put forward the need to separate partisan discourse from proven facts. Justice is not swayed by tweets or performative gestures.
Messages of support for Cristina were not surprising, but they made clear how certain sectors, even those with public visibility, preferred to deny the content of a judicial ruling in order to embrace a narrative of victimization that can no longer withstand scrutiny.
