Buenos Aires, December 16 (NA) – Two weeks after becoming a mother, Rocío Marengo found herself at the center of a controversy after being seen on a night out while her son, Isidro Fort Marengo, remains hospitalized in the neonatology unit after being born prematurely. As confirmed by the Argentine News Agency, it all began last weekend when the celebrity was discharged and shared a video on social media showing her looking very glamorous in leather pants and a sequined top. Overwhelmed by the comments, she decided to make a lengthy statement on her Instagram to defend her role as a new mother. "The great lie of social networks," began the partner of Eduardo Fort, brother of the late Ricardo Fort. "You post a video of yourself dressed up, going out to eat with your family, and they judge you as a bad mother, without knowing what you're going through inside. You put on a little sequined top and they act like you're laughing your ass off, as if the clothes say something," she expressed. Rocío recounted that she had a high-risk pregnancy and was firm: "If you want, I can show you the clots and bleeding I had all these months so you can know a little more about me before you judge." She also closed with a resolute statement about her motherhood: "Know that they will never make me doubt my role as a mother, I am the best." "For peace of mind, Marengo also announced that her son's hospitalization is coming to an end: 'I looked for my baby with all my love, patience, and strength, Isidro is very well, it's a matter of days and we are going home.' In addition to the statement, the celebrity shared a new photo of Isidro at the Sanatorio Otamendi, where he remains hospitalized, and another with her friends, who are accompanying and supporting her in this delicate moment. In her statement, she also explained the reason for her son's premature birth: 'The placenta detached and I didn't show it or talk about it.' Since the baby – the result of her relationship with businessman Eduardo Fort – still needs respiratory assistance and medical check-ups, the post generated a wave of criticism. For several days, Marengo was heavily criticized for going out to eat while her son was still hospitalized. 'The birth was an emergency, Isi and I were at risk of life,' she said. 'Clearly, they don't understand and haven't been through something similar, otherwise they wouldn't dare to comment,' she remarked.
