Explosive clash between Diego Poggi and Rodrigo Lussich over false information on Intrusos

Diego Poggi made a strong statement on social media after being involved in a media scandal

Diego Poggi made a strong statement on social media after being involved in a media scandal. The trigger was a report broadcast by the program Intrusos, hosted by Rodrigo Lussich, where a false news story linked him romantically with Bati Larrivey, a former participant of Gran Hermano 2025.

The unfounded rumor, based on supposed screenshots, provoked a strong reaction from the communicator, who quickly raised his voice against the lack of ethics in the handling and dissemination of information without evidence.

Through a video posted on his social media, Poggi categorically denied the content of the report broadcast on América TV.

"It's all a lie. No one wrote to me, no one checked anything. The screenshots they showed are fake and my partner never posted what they claim he posted," he stated, visibly upset by the episode he was involved in.

The journalist emphasized that he was not contacted by the program's production before the report was aired to be consulted about the veracity of the facts and pointed directly at Rodrigo Lussich.

"Mr. Lussich, who calls himself a journalist, spread something without checking. I called him, I wrote to him, he didn't answer me. This is the first time I'm going to take legal action for something like this," Poggi announced, making clear the steps he will follow after this incident.

The program Intrusos, known for covering Argentine entertainment and celebrity topics, has been questioned several times for spreading unsupported rumors. In this case, Poggi's alleged infidelity was presented as a rumor that emerged on Twitter, but without providing verifiable evidence. The attitude of the show's hosts, especially Lussich's, caused strong rejection among social media users and media colleagues, who expressed solidarity with Poggi.

This is not the first time Rodrigo Lussich has been involved in controversies. In October 2024, he was reported to the Media Observatory of the Public Defender's Office for comments considered transphobic. Now, he is once again in the eye of the storm due to this situation that has caused Poggi's indignation.
