Influencer Dubbed 'Lady Fritanga' Faces Backlash Over Remarks About Ciudad Obregón

A deleted livestream was reposted, prolonging criticism of her remarks about the city's size, food and services.

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.
