Overview
- Luca Martin joked on El Nueve's Bendita that Gelblung had been old for roughly 300 years, a clip that circulated widely online.
- Chiche Gelblung answered on Puro Show with a blunt insult toward Martin and his father, Matías Martin, using the phrase de tal palo tal astilla.
- The veteran journalist said the comments do not affect him, noted he does not watch Bendita due to his work schedule, and remarked that reaching old age is not easy.
- In a follow-up interview, Martin said his remarks were made in jest without bad intent, offered to apologize if Gelblung felt offended, and criticized the drag-in of his father.
- Coverage across national outlets and social media continues, with no formal apology issued or further escalation reported.
