A scandal that began as an ironic comment on a TV show ended with a panelist in distress, a hurt family, and a legal letter in the works. Guillermo Barrios decided to take legal action following comments by Matilda Blanco that referred to his physique and led to a weekend he described as "very ugly." According to Noticias Argentinas, the controversy erupted on the show SQP when Blanco, during a segment, suggested that Barrios "had to wear a corset," a comment that later went viral. Barrios recounted that after the segment aired, he started to receive mocking messages. He insisted he is not seeking money with the lawsuit but wants to set a boundary. What affected him the most was the impact on his family and partner. In response, Matilda Blanco, showing no remorse, dismissed the severity of her words and advised him to wear oversized clothes or structured shirts. She also clarified that her comment was technical advice, not a joke, and that she prefers shirts to tight-fitting t-shirts.
