Ventaneando’s Linet Puente Says She and Her Son Received Threats After Criticizing La Cotorrisa

Puente opts against publicizing the threats for now to avoid escalation.

Overview

  • Puente reported receiving menacing messages directed at her and her child following her remarks about comedians Ricardo Pérez and José Luis Slobotzky.
  • She told reporters and reiterated in a YouTube interview that she will not post the messages and is holding off on legal action while continuing to defend the journalistic profession.
  • The flare-up follows La Cotorrisa’s YouTube parody, No tenemos vida, which mocked entertainment shows and referenced Ventaneando, drawing strong reactions from TV hosts.
  • Tensions trace back to an airport confrontation where Pérez blamed reporters for a stumble involving singer Susana Zabaleta, who has accused the press of misogyny.
  • As of today, Pérez has not publicly responded to Puente’s account, and the episode is fueling a wider industry discussion about boundaries, safety, and treatment of reporters.
