Alianza Lima Gives Vivian Baella 24 Hours to Retract On-Air Claim, Threatens Legal Action

The club says her allegation about a pre-final deal with cash and a property amounts to criminal defamation under Peru’s Article 132.

Overview

  • Alianza Lima sent Baella a carta notarial, a formal legal notice in Peru, ordering a public retraction in the same program within 24 hours and warning of criminal and civil claims if she refuses.
  • In a recent episode of Bloqueo y Punto on La Roro Network, Baella said a “reliable source” told her Flavia Montes had already signed with Alianza Lima and received a large sum and a property before the third final.
  • Montes responded with a public statement rejecting the claim as untrue, saying it damages her reputation and calling such assertions potentially illegal.
  • Baella later apologized on air, said she never intended to question Montes’ professionalism, and described her remarks as transfer chatter common in other leagues.
  • The club’s letter accuses Baella of attributing illicit conduct that would distort fair play and demands she stop repeating similar claims, a step that could cool rumor-driven commentary in Peru’s volleyball market.
