Marcela Feudale was once again at the center of a controversy after rumors surfaced suggesting she had accused Mariano Iúdica of leaking information from Ideas del Sur.
The host decided to clarify her statements on the show Puro Show, and instead of toning it down, she openly criticized the host of Polémica en el Bar, as reported by the Argentine News Agency (NA).
The journalist began by denying that she had directly accused Iúdica in the Florencia Peña video scandal, but she confirmed that such comments existed within the company: "I never said that Mariano leaked anything."
"If there are so many rumors around a person, it's because they are not a well-liked person," she stated. While making it clear she never had a close relationship with Iúdica, she said she had heard statements that made her uncomfortable: "I heard him say things about people I care about that were totally inappropriate. If he thinks we are so important that he has to operate on all of us and that we can't think for ourselves, he underestimates us."
The conflict reignited after Mariano Iúdica harshly criticized Marcelo Tinelli during the host's delicate personal moment: "I don't know why he came out to talk about Marcelo now, but I find it horrifying."
Feudale also explained why she believes her comments were blown out of proportion: "At that moment, I was saying the same thing I am now."
"What I recounted was that there were rumors in the company about that," she explained, noting that these were versions circulating within the production company, not a personal accusation.
Feudale also recalled that those rumors were not isolated but part of a general climate: "They said he wanted to take Chato Prada's spot, that he had run Listorti out of his time slot on Canal 13. There were several comments. I'm not going to repeat them because I don't like people who talk like that."
