Jey Mammón Denies Rape Allegation on Live TV as Networks Review His Comeback

His refusal to admit wrongdoing followed a high-profile sit-down with Mirtha Legrand that offered him a prime opportunity to address the 2023 accusation.

Overview

  • When Mirtha Legrand asked “¿La violación existió?”, Mammón answered unambiguously “La respuesta es ‘no’”.
  • He confirmed that he initially filed legal actions over Lucas Benvenuto’s 2023 accusation but later halted them to focus on his return to television.
  • El Nueve’s August 11 premiere of Medianoche con Jey logged modest ratings and triggered a two-month network review of its performance and social-media impact.
  • Reactions among viewers, media commentators and advertisers have been divided, with some praising his candor and others questioning his comeback.
  • Mammón said that many members of the public have approached him with sympathetic messages such as “rezo por vos” since his return.
