Program assistant Emiliano Toper addressed rumors linking him romantically with Laurita Fernández, host of the same television show. Toper categorically denied these insinuations and clarified that his relationship with Fernández is purely professional, as she is the partner of his colleague Claudio 'El Peluca' Brusca, who is also the producer of the show in question.
Toper stated: 'I don't like lies being told. It must be someone against me, and I don’t believe that because I get along well with everyone. It must be something against the production or the show that is doing well.' The young man added that he found out about the rumors while returning home on public transport. He explained that he had recently been traveling in Mendoza for nine days, something that El Peluca knew about, which rules out any compromising situation with Laurita.
In his statements, Toper mentioned that he had spoken with both Laurita Fernández and Claudio Brusca about the matter and took the situation with humor. He emphasized that, despite the sensitive nature of the accusations, the relief of knowing that everything is false makes him laugh about the situation. In that sense, he affirmed: 'She is the girlfriend of my work colleague.'
In light of the persistent rumor that labeled him as the 'third party,' Emiliano Toper preferred to put the matter to rest and make it clear that his relationship with Laurita Fernández is strictly professional, dismissing any romantic implications between them.
