Overview
- During Bendita on El Nueve, panelist Luca Martin joked that Chiche Gelblung had been old “for about 300 years,” prompting host Edith Hermida to warn against ageism on air.
- The clip went viral and drew criticism, and Gelblung told Puro Show that Martin was a “pelotudo,” extending the insult to his father Matías Martín, while saying the remark did not bother him.
- Martin later downplayed his intent in interviews, saying the comment was made in good spirits and offering to apologize if the public wanted him to.
- On Friday, journalist Eduardo Feinmann escalated the dispute on X by insulting Martin’s “genes” and labeling Nancy Dupláa a bad mother, while saying Matías Martín was not to blame.
- Dupláa publicly defended her son and criticized Feinmann, Pablo Echarri challenged the journalist in a separate post, and Feinmann replied with further attacks, with no formal resolution reported.
