Overview
- Brandon Gallesi, who appeared on the podcast La Manada on Sept. 4–5, confronted hosts Mario Irivarren and Gerardo Pe' about clips in which they implied he might have psychiatric problems.
- Gallesi told the hosts they should not judge him without knowing him and said there is a clear line between joking and showing respect when discussing other people.
- Mario Irivarren acknowledged on air that he had said Gallesi might have mental‑health issues based on the actor’s online posts and insisted his comments were made "desde el respeto" (from respect).
- Gerardo Pe' praised Gallesi’s measured, non‑attacking response, and reports say Irivarren appeared uncomfortable during the live exchange.
- The episode follows weeks of social‑media mockery after Gallesi accused former colleagues of wrongdoing, and the exchange is renewing debate in Peru about when public figures should avoid casual attributions about mental health and how entertainment outlets frame such remarks.
