Marcela Tauro's apology on Infama

"I started the show by asking her for forgiveness. I was rude," Tauro said on air. She said that Marixa invited her to cook one day on the reality show and that she was about to travel.

"Instead of saying 'I can't right now,' we have work culture so ingrained that I accepted everything", she explained. She detailed that she was going to be at the network for seven hours and that she was traveling at dawn.

The host clarified that the trip carried a strong emotional weight. "It was a very emotional trip with my sister, we needed to cuddle each other", she said.

"I should have replied"

Tauro was self-critical and did not look for excuses: "I was the one who was rude for not replying to her," she admitted. She acknowledged that the correct thing would have been to thank her for the invitation and explain that she could not go. "I should have said 'thank you very much for thinking of me'", she stated.

"I apologize. She is absolutely right and I am not," Tauro concluded, after listening to her colleague's position.

The MasterChef invitation and the detail that added tension

The host also recalled a detail that threw her off at the time of the proposal. "When she invited me she said 'watch videos about seasonings'", she recounted, laughing.

"That was the last thing I needed…", she joked, although she immediately went back to expressing gratitude. "I thank her for having considered me, it is always good when people call you", she emphasized.

Marixa Balli's response and the code among colleagues

Meanwhile, Marixa Balli explained how she experienced the situation. "I expected her to call me", she said, and clarified that she found out from television that Tauro was not going.

"You should have said to me 'Maru, I am not going to be able to cook' and that is it", she stated. She acknowledged that she did not get angry, but that she was surprised.

"We have known each other our whole lives and there is a strong code," "La Cachaca" concluded, making it clear that the bond remains intact after the public apologies.
