The controversy involving Gala Caldirola, Luis ‘Mago’ Jiménez, and Coté López has continued to evolve following Caldirola’s claims of infidelity and alleged ‘illegal acts’. During a broadcast of ‘Primer Plano’, Caldirola detailed seeing provocative messages from López to Jiménez regarding their physical relationship, which triggered social media mockery of the former footballer.

In the wake of these revelations, presenter Fran García-Huidobro reported an encounter at an airport with López and her mother, María Merino. García-Huidobro described Merino as a ‘very pleasant woman’ following a cordial conversation.

López is now set to provide her version of events in an exclusive interview with García-Huidobro in the Dominican Republic, scheduled to air this Friday on Chilevisión’s ‘Primer Plano’. Reports indicate the interview will be highly emotional, with López reportedly participating without financial compensation in an effort to ‘speak her truth’ rather than to profit. 

During the broadcast, López is expected to address allegations of infidelity, her motivations for a recent trip to Qatar, and respond to Caldirola’s insinuations regarding illegal activities. She has also expressed an intention to offer an apology to Caldirola. Additionally, influencer Disley Ramos, a former partner of Jiménez, commented on the situation, stating she would not recommend him as a partner due to the necessity of resolving past issues.
