Maxi López Apologizes to Flor de la V After On-Air Remark Draws Backlash

Flor de la V characterized the comment as a clumsy joke that can harm a vulnerable trans community.

Overview

  • During OLGA’s Sería Increíble in Mar del Plata, López answered a question about kissing a man by naming Flor de la V and misnaming her, prompting immediate on-air correction from Nati Jota and cohosts.
  • Producers and hosts curtailed López’s participation as the segment grew tense, and the clip spread widely on X with sharp criticism and calls for his cancellation.
  • On her show Los Profesionales de Siempre, Flor de la V responded with humor before stressing that, despite seeing no malice, such moments contribute to the marginalization of trans people.
  • López told Intrusos he contacted Flor de la V, apologized if she felt offended, insisted he did not seek controversy, and said he is learning the live-format dynamics as clips circulate out of context.
  • Coverage linked the episode to scrutiny over López’s recent comments about his partner’s childbirth, noting a pattern that has intensified attention on his public appearances.
