One week after Ricardo Darín caused a stir on La noche de Mirtha by mentioning the high price of empanadas, Mirtha Legrand herself decided to speak out about the topic that went viral and sparked an unexpected debate.
During the opening of her show broadcast this Saturday on El Trece, "la Chiqui" took advantage of the presence of her guests — attorney Fernando Burlando, singer Jairo, journalist María Julia Oliván, and journalist Hugo Alconada Mon — to address the controversy surrounding the star of El secreto de sus ojos. "Poor Darín, they've torn him apart, poor thing. What was so wrong about it?" she said, visibly puzzled by the tone of the criticism circulating on social media and in the press.
La Chiqui also revealed an unexpected detail: she stated that at the time of the interview, she hadn't heard the comment that triggered the scandal. "I asked him 'How do you see the country?' and he started talking, but he lowered his voice and his head a bit, and I didn't hear him when he mentioned the 48,000 pesos (105.8 pounds)", she confessed, laughing.
