In the final stage of her pregnancy with Matías Palleiro, Jimena Barón became embroiled in a major controversy. According to Yanina Latorre on television, the artist allegedly requested a full barter at the La Trinidad clinic in Palermo for the birth of her child.
The host of Sálvese Quien Pueda shared the information live: "According to what came to our program's WhatsApp, Jimena Barón allegedly asked for a full barter at La Trinidad." Latorre clarified that she could not confirm the information, but she aired it as a leak from followers of the show.
The defense from her close circle
Quickly, Lizardo Ponce —a close friend of Jimena— denied the story. He assured that she had everything planned for a long time. "When we saw each other at the baby shower, she already had everything arranged, even how the delivery would be," the panelist stated.
Despite his intervention, Latorre insisted. She explained that Jimena's medical coverage might not have included all the costs and that for this reason she might have tried to negotiate a full barter, something the clinic would have rejected.
Jimena's response
In response to the controversy, Jimena Barón did not remain silent. Through a message sent to Lizardo Ponce —and read on air—, the singer categorically denied the rumors: "But what kind of stupidity is this lie?" she said, visibly upset.
