Overview
- Tamara Chiunti described Ciudad Obregón as a small “pueblito” with “three streets,” said the city “smells like fritanga,” and mocked local dining options and hotels.
- She removed the video after criticism, but it continued circulating; El Imparcial credits Facebook user Adrianna Cárdenas Siller with recovering it and popularizing the “Lady Fritanga” tag.
- The clip drew broad online pushback for perceived classism, with users amplifying the nickname across platforms.
- Chiunti later posted an apology saying she was joking, explaining that her wording reflects her Veracruz style of speaking and that she did not intend to offend.
- Excélsior reports a fresh wave of reactions as influencer Lupita Villalobos publicly defended Ciudad Obregón and challenged Chiunti’s portrayal.
