Marixa Balli Exits LAM for Telefe Projects as De Brito Denies Ultimatum

Exclusivity with LAM plus lengthy MasterChef shoots made a simultaneous schedule impossible, according to the host.

Overview

  • Ángel de Brito confirmed Balli’s departure as a personal decision discussed with production and not the result of a conflict.
  • De Brito said Telefe lined her up for MasterChef, invited her to travel on Marley's Por el Mundo, and planned a later panel role on A la Barbarossa.
  • He cited MasterChef’s 12-hour filming days across multiple weekly shoots and LAM’s exclusivity as the reasons the roles could not overlap.
  • Clarín reported she advanced her exit, previously expected to run until September 30, to begin pre-production commitments for the new projects.
  • LAM reassigned her stream slot to Matilda Blanco and added panelists, as De Brito publicly rejected Diana Zurco’s claim of an ultimatum tied to Por el Mundo.
