The host would initiate legal action against Nicolás Occhiato and questioned the way her departure was resolved
According to him, the termination was decided unilaterally and without respecting certain formal procedures that, in his view, should have been followed.
“The termination was unilateral. They let her go abruptly. That can be done, but it must be notified a month in advance through another means,” Burlando stated, hinting that there are elements that could lead to a legal claim.
The scandal that arose around the false news about the death of Jorge Messi, Lionel Messi's father, continues to add chapters.
After the unpresentable ultrakirchnerist Florencia Peña joyfully broadcast false information during a transmission on Luzu TV, the actress and host became embroiled in strong social disapproval that led to the dismissal of part of the program's team and to a growing conflict with Nicolás Occhiato.
In the midst of the fallout, Fernando Burlando, the interpreter's lawyer, confirmed that the artist is considering the possibility of filing a lawsuit against the founder of the streaming platform and against the company behind the channel.
“She is analyzing it. It is her right, from a legal point of view,” the lawyer assured in a conversation with TN Show when asked about a potential legal action.
The lawyer explained that one of the points under analysis relates to the way in which the employment termination occurred following the incident that shook the network.
Additionally, the lawyer revealed how Peña is coping with this difficult personal and professional moment. “She is very shaken and very affected”, he noted about his client's emotional state following the enormous fallout from the case.
Days ago, the host herself publicly referred to the way Occhiato handled the crisis that erupted after the informational error. Although she avoided delving into a direct confrontation, she made it clear that she would have acted differently in a similar situation.
“You know how I am, I stand up for the people I care about and would have done something else, but that doesn’t mean it was wrong. It’s his personality and he thought that was okay,” she expressed during an interview with Intrusos.
The statements were interpreted as a criticism of the decision made by the host and businessman, especially regarding the speed with which changes occurred within the team after the dissemination of the false news.
