Overview
- During a Montse y Joe segment with a therapist, Porcella replied “mexicana” when asked to affirm that his blood is Peruvian, later repeating the requested phrases with visible reluctance and saying, “Eso me va a costar.”
- The clip circulated widely on social media and Peruvian TV, prompting sustained on‑air criticism from figures including Magaly Medina and Rodrigo González.
- In an Instagram statement, Porcella said the exchange was a therapeutic exercise to “constelar y sanar heridas pasadas” and insisted he is “orgullosamente peruano.”
- He explained he lives in Mexico because he felt doors were closed to him in Peru and expressed gratitude for the opportunities he found in Mexico.
- Porcella urged audiences to watch the full segment, argued the viral edit lacked context, and said he is resentful toward certain people in Peru, not toward the country itself.
