During the live broadcast, her voice was aired in an annoyed and raised tone, expressing her frustration over the technical failure.
Meanwhile, sports journalist Fabio Vallejos was providing details about the soccer match, the background murmur grew increasingly louder. Moments later, the host, visibly upset, uttered an angry exclamation, leaving viewers surprised.
After the scandal, Facundo Pedrini explained to Karina Iavícoli for Intrusos (América TV) what happened and downplayed the conflict. According to him, the relationship between Mariela and the show's producer has been a friendship for two decades, so there was no personal issue between them.
