In an unexpected confrontation that went viral quickly, María Julia Oliván and Yanina Latorre starred in a tense exchange on social media. It all started with Oliván's statements about the role of men in the media and a reflection by Mario Pergolini on the anniversary of Ni Una Menos.
The journalist, on her streaming channel Border Periodismo, ironically questioned the change Pergolini supposedly had regarding past macho attitudes. She recalled her own experience working with him and mentioned unpleasant situations she faced.
Yanina Latorre responded by defending the host and argued that many journalists from that era had similar behaviors, citing examples of other figures. She believed that if someone has evolved, it is not appropriate to continue attacking them.
Additionally, Latorre opined that Oliván seemed resentful and that she ended up on bad terms with many people in the industry. This statement further fueled the controversy.
Oliván's response on social media
Oliván did not stay silent and detailed her time at Pergolini's production company between 2004 and 2007. She stated that the actions she mentioned occurred when he was around 40 years old and not in his youth. She defended her decision to speak publicly and rejected any pressure towards her own employees.
Upon learning of the statement, the host of Sálvese Quien Pueda quoted the message and compared her to Viviana Canosa, challenging her to formally report if she had anything concrete.
