Janet Barboza Confirms Past Romance With Rafael Cardozo, Details Cosmetic Work and Legal Run-Ins

The Saturday sit-down on Esta Noche spotlighted her push for transparency in cosmetic care alongside the legal pressure her on‑air style attracts.

Overview

  • Barboza said she was involved with Rafael Cardozo before Carol ‘Cachaza’ Reali, recalling they met when he was 19 after arriving in Peru to film a videoclip and noting they still exchange late‑night messages.
  • She listed non‑surgical treatments including collagen stimulators, threads, biopolymers, chin filler and two nose adjustments, and specified her only surgery was on her ears.
  • She rejected the long‑standing rumor of rib removal to slim her waist, calling it an urban legend and attributing her figure to body shape.
  • The host said she has received more than ten legal letters over her commentary, specifying several were from Alfredo Zambrano and citing terms like “pingüino,” “codo” and “chiquito” as triggers.
  • Coverage after the broadcast captured her emotional account of sacrifices raising her daughter during periods of financial strain and her on‑air responses to figures in Magaly Medina’s circle.
