Mirtha Legrand Apologizes to Alejandro Fantino

Buenos Aires, December 28 (NA) -- Mirtha Legrand surprised the audience by issuing a message of apologies to Alejandro Fantino and his family for an incident that occurred a few years ago on her show. According to what the Argentine News Agency could verify, the host, with a serious tone, read a statement in which she used the end of the year as the main reason to apologize to the host. "I want to take advantage of this end of the year to apologize in my name and in the name of the production to Mr. Alejandro Fantino and his family, who felt their honor was aggrieved by an incident that took place years ago on this show." With this sincere gesture, the host sought to "turn the page" and leave behind the moment that marked a great distance between the diva and Fantino. "I apologize again for my comment, which was out of place," she stated. The origin of the controversy dates back to March 2018, when the late model Natacha Jaitt made serious accusations regarding a case of abuse and corruption of minors linked to football, in which she accused Fantino of being involved. Although at that time the production tried to distance the host from the accusations made on that program, Fantino considered that his honor and reputation had been seriously damaged, which even led him to initiate legal action against the production and Mirtha herself. After finishing reading her words, she wanted to emphasize with emphasis her bad behavior.
