Mauro Icardi’s nightclub clash with Ekaterina Ojeda and China Suárez in Buenos Aires
Ekaterina Ojeda, a 25‑year‑old model and public‑relations worker at the Costanera Norte nightclub Tequila, became the focus of a media storm after a night in the club’s VIP area involving footballer Mauro Icardi and actress Eugenia “La China” Suárez. According to Ojeda’s later statements, she and friends entered the venue without any plan to meet Icardi. She said Icardi approached her, complimented her – “Me encantás…”, later adding “Sos la mujer más hermosa que vi” – and attempted to get closer, but she rebuffed him, stating “No lo dejé, no lo dejé”. Ojeda described the encounter as a simple “charla de boliche”. Suárez allegedly reacted angrily, pulling at Ojeda’s shoulder and shouting, which Ojeda interpreted as the actress being upset, though she was unsure whether the anger was directed at her or at Icardi, noting “Sí, se enojó” and “Quizás con él, no sé si conmigo”. Multiple interviews on Argentine TV programs (Intrusos, LAM, Ángel de Brito) recounted these details, with Ojeda emphasizing she is not a fan of Icardi and has no romantic interest. The incident sparked widespread speculation and social‑media debate about a possible attempted kiss, the actress’s response, and Icardi’s remarks, but Ojeda maintained she left the club early to avoid escalation.
