Argentine TV hosts clash over show appearances amid on‑air disputes

Journalist Ángel de Brito withdrew from the program "La noche de Mirtha" on El Trece, saying his decision was driven by a confrontation with Juana Viale. He apologized to Mirtha Legrand, stating, “Pido disculpas a Chiquita Legrand. La amo, es la número uno y lo lamento,” and described Viale’s response as “soberbia y prepotente.”

Concurrently, presenter Nicolás Occhiato broke his silence about a lawsuit filed by actress Flor Peña following her dismissal from Luzu TV. He asserted that the company acted appropriately, quoting, “Hicimos lo correcto.” The legal case continues, and Occhiato said discussions are ongoing about the future of the program "El show del verano," which remains on hold.

Both incidents highlight growing tensions within Argentina’s television industry, involving high‑profile personalities and legal disputes.
