Federico Salazar Says Erika Manrique Is a Confidante, Not a Romance

His on-air defense reflects how Peru’s tabloid “ampay” culture can fuel quick judgments.

Overview

  • Salazar, who spoke to the TV show Amor y Fuego on Wednesday, said he met Manrique for support after announcing his separation from Katia Condos.
  • He denied that a third person caused the breakup and said the public can interpret the images as they wish.
  • He described Manrique as a friend of more than 30 years who he knew before his relationship with Condos, and he called her a confidante.
  • He said he still loves Condos and recalled their long relationship, while Condos has chosen not to comment and is focused on moving forward.
  • The coverage grew after Magaly TV aired an “ampay” video of an embrace and outlets noted past Instagram likes, a pattern that often drives speculation in Peru’s celebrity press.
