Mauricio Pinilla denies intoxication rumors following TV appearances

Former footballer Mauricio Pinilla has responded angrily to public speculation regarding his behavior during his appearances on the Chilevisión program ‘Fiebre de Canto’. Following his performance, rumors circulated on social media suggesting he may have been intoxicated due to his vocal delivery and stage presence.

Pinilla denied these allegations, stating he is currently taking medication and does not consume alcohol. He reportedly told content creator Richard de Todo that he would take action against those spreading such rumors, suggesting that production staff could verify his sobriety.

His recent television appearances have been marked by controversy, including a performance of Miguel Bosé’s ‘Si tú no vuelves’ where he had to use his mobile phone to read the lyrics. This incident drew criticism from viewers on social media, with some suggesting his participation in the show was unnecessary given his current circumstances.
