An unthinkable moment was experienced this Wednesday, May 7, on the program LAM (América TV), when Yanina Latorre and Ángel de Brito engaged in a heated on-air argument that surprised viewers and caused countless reactions on social media. The conflict, sparked by a controversial comment from Latorre about Diego Maradona, quickly escalated into a personal confrontation that exposed a rift between two important figures on the country's most-watched entertainment program.
It all started when Yanina Latorre described Diego Maradona as a "social cancer," in relation to his behavior with minors, generating strong public backlash, especially from Dalma Maradona, the second daughter of the soccer star. The eldest daughter of the former footballer replied harshly on her social media to the remarks, stating that Latorre had no right to speak about her father so lightly, especially without considering what he represents for her family.

In the LAM studio, Ángel de Brito tried to calm the conflict, but his words only further ignited the spark of the moment, and nothing was the same again. "If it hurts you when they criticize your daughter Lola, understand that Dalma can also feel affected by what you say about her father," the host expressed. The remark did not sit well with Yanina, who replied vehemently: "Don't compare my daughter to Maradona, because Lola didn't do anything wrong."
The tension increased. Latorre, visibly upset, made it clear that she would not tolerate such comparisons, and De Brito, firm in his stance, defended Dalma's right to react to an attack on her father. The exchange lasted several minutes on air and created a moment of discomfort among both the panelists and the general audience.
The episode, which has already gone viral, left the audience wondering if this fight could have deeper consequences on the program's dynamics or even on the continuity of some of its protagonists, as it did not seem that the exchange was caused on good terms.
