Overview
- During the Feb. 12 Nadie nos para segment, producers overlaid the Teatro Colón video with derogatory audio and text as panelists made slurs, and Casella did not stop the mockery.
- Valentín Fresno condemned the broadcast on Instagram, emphasizing that such jokes discourage children who may want to pursue ballet.
- Ballet director Julio Bocca posted an institutional message praising Fresno’s measured response and affirming support from the Ballet Estable.
- Panelist Joe Fernández released a video apology admitting he overstepped and asked Fresno and viewers for forgiveness.
- After first framing some remarks as a show “character,” Casella issued a longer apology on X, said he contacted Fresno privately, invited him to speak on air and offered to represent him ad honorem, a stance he reiterated in a TV interview, with no disciplinary actions reported in the coverage.
