Pati Chapoy receives boos at Cristian Castro concert

Journalist Pati Chapoy experienced boos from the audience during a Cristian Castro concert at the Auditorio Nacional on August 14. The incident occurred after the singer paused his performance to acknowledge Chapoy, referring to her as ‘the owner of the news’ and asking the crowd for applause.

As cameras focused on Chapoy, some attendees responded with jeers and boos. Chapoy remained smiling and acknowledged the crowd with her hands before returning to her seat. Cristian Castro reacted to the tension by jokingly telling her, ‘That is also applause, that is also applause, Pati.’

In contrast, the singer’s mother, Verónica Castro, received enthusiastic applause and ovations when she was recognized on the venue's screens. While social media users have linked the reaction to Chapoy to recent controversies involving the program Ventaneando, no official reason for the audience's behavior has been confirmed.
