The internal conflict within the Fort family added a new chapter and was once again exposed in the media. This time, the one who spoke out was Marta Fort, who reacted harshly to the statements of her cousin John Fort, Ricardo's nephew, after he publicly expressed his intention to join the family business upon returning to Argentina.
John Fort returned to the country after having lived 11 years in Miami and, in a television interview with Karina Mazzocco, he asserted that his departure from the company was forced and that his goal is "to be part of the legacy" that the family left. His remarks did not go unnoticed and caused an immediate response from Marta, who questioned both the content and the manner chosen by her cousin.
From DGO's stream, the daughter of the late Ricardo Fort appeared visibly upset and used irony to make her position clear. "What? Aren't his supplements doing well?" she said, referring to the personal venture that John promotes on social media, hinting that the claim would have more to do with opportunism than with a family vocation.
Although Marta did not definitively close the door on a possible incorporation of her cousin into the company, she was clear in pointing out that the proposal should be made through the appropriate channels and not publicly. "If he wants to be part of the factory, we will talk about it, we will see what he proposes", she clarified, although she immediately emphasized a key point: "He never called me."
In that regard, the influencer also criticized the fact that John mixed the family conflict with the promotion of his personal brand. "I received an article with his opinion on the subject and his brand was next to it. He sneaked in an ad", she fired, drawing a red line between internal problems and commercial interests.
Toward the end of the topic, the exchange took on a more relaxed tone, although without diminishing the weight of the conflict. When one of the hosts used irony with a phrase that referred to Ricardo Fort's media universe —"We say to John Fort, 'Enough, kids,' right?"— Marta replied firmly and made it clear that the dialogue was never blocked: "'Enough, kids.' He has my phone number, he has Felipe's phone number, he has my uncle's phone number."
