Once again, Yanina Latorre stole the spotlight with an explosive confession on the air. During the latest episode of 'SQP,' the host admitted to Fede Bal, the special guest of the night, that she used him as part of a strategy to get back at Estefi Berardi, with whom she has a long-standing media feud.
«I have to say one thing and I'm going to admit it. I named a bunch of single women because I had that decency, I cleared the married ones.»
The journalist also took the moment to emphasize that she never intended to harm him: «You were always a good friend, but yes, it was my way to get rid of Estefi. He was always one of those middle-ground friends, and you're supposed to support and defend them. I admit it and I don't regret it.»
The relationship between Yanina Latorre and Estefi Berardi remains marked by tension. The chat scandal, legal complaints, and on-air confrontations keep alive one of the most media-covered feuds in recent years.
Meanwhile, Fede Bal took the confession with humor and responded with laughter: «At least I was used for a good cause.» «I'm going to make this mea culpa: I used you to get back at Estefi Berardi, and I recognize it,» she said without filters, leaving everyone present speechless.
The revelation directly refers to the «smart washing machine gate» scandal, which occurred in February 2023, when Fede Bal's chats with several women were leaked while he was in a relationship with Sofía Aldrey.
The story took an unexpected turn when Aldrey discovered the conversations through the smart washing machine they shared. Among the names that appeared in the chats was Estefi Berardi, then a panelist on 'LAM,' which sparked a media war with Yanina Latorre.
Berardi took her colleague to court over the dissemination of private material, but months later the case ended with Latorre's acquittal.
Since then, barbs, social media spats, and blame-trading have become commonplace.
Faced with Fede Bal's direct question if she regretted using his case as a media tool, Yanina was firm: «Zero, I had no need to show any chat. She sold herself out with her face when I started talking without naming her.»
