Brian Sarmiento has once again become the center of a controversy, this time due to accusations related to his role as a father. He is currently participating in 'Big Brother: Golden Generation' on the Telefe channel. One of his ex-partners publicly accused him of alleged financial and emotional neglect towards their daughter. The accusation was made by Tessie Poza on the 'Ejército' show on LAM radio. Tessie, who lives in Germany with her daughter Frida, stated that Sarmiento left her to raise the child alone. According to her, they last saw each other two years ago during a week-long visit to Argentina. After that, she claims, he took offense and they did not see each other again for the rest of their time there. Frida turned 10 a few months ago, and according to her mother's account, the former player tried to contact her to say hello, but the minor decided not to reply. In this context, Tessie revealed a surprising episode: 'I didn't see him again until Frida's year, when he asked for a DNA test.' The woman also recalled that when she met Sarmiento, he was already separated from the mother of his other two daughters, who live in Spain, and at that time he was fulfilling his obligations: 'He was a very good father, he didn't seem to be what he became.' According to her testimony, during the pregnancy he was in Peru and suggested she return to Argentina: 'When I got pregnant I was in Peru and he told me it would be best for me to go back to Argentina. Far from wanting to judge him, because I have already done so much. I didn't see him again until Frida's year, when he asked for a DNA test,' she explained. Tessie stated that the child support was always paid in Argentine pesos and that she never received transfers in euros: 'I gave him options, to come and take care of her so I could work or to give me a fixed amount so I would know how much I had to count on.' In addition, she mentioned that on one occasion Sarmiento was unable to leave the country due to a debt for child support: 'He was about to take a plane to go to Bolivia to play football and they didn't let him because he was registered in the Register of Alimony Debtors.' She also clarified: 'He was never violent, not even in insults, he is very kind, but yes, economically.' She also shared the economic difficulties she faced in the first months of her daughter's life. 'I have gone to bed without eating because I had to buy diapers for the girl.'
