Argentine Broadcaster Daniel Gómez Rinaldi Faints On Air, Shares High Blood-Pressure Reading

The collapse followed a heated on-air dispute over Antonio Gasalla’s estate after a day marked by a public retraction regarding Pilar Smith.

Overview

  • Rinaldi showed visible distress during a remote for Los Profesionales de Siempre, said he could not continue, and collapsed off camera before on-site staff assisted him.
  • He later posted video and photos of the medical attention and a tensiometer image widely cited as 174/93 mmHg, telling followers he did not lose consciousness and was recovering.
  • Colleagues attributed the episode to little sleep, no lunch, and intense heat in the studio, while initial on-set laughter drew criticism once the seriousness became clear.
  • The on-air clash involved Evelyn von Brocke in a debate about the distribution of Antonio Gasalla’s inheritance, reviving tensions linked to APTRA.
  • One outlet framed the incident as acute hypertension based on a differently formatted reading, though interpretations of the single measurement vary as supportive messages spread online.
