Overview
- Weeks after Florencia Peña announced and corrected a false report that Jorge Messi had died, Luzu TV removed her and closed her show, triggering internal firings and wide public criticism.
- Media reports say Peña initially sought 750 million pesos for damages and contract breach but that figure remains a claim reported by colleagues and not confirmed by a court record.
- Nicolás Occhiato has told reporters the matter is “judicialized” and declined further comment while Peña’s lawyer Fernando Burlando says no formal court filing exists and that conciliation steps remain open.
- Alejandro 'Marley' Wiebe says he is mediating between Peña and Occhiato, that he speaks to Peña daily, and that he will not continue the program without a reconciliation between the two.
- The dispute has reputational and commercial consequences for the people involved and for Luzu TV, raising questions about sponsor relations, contract indemnities, and the emotional toll on Peña as negotiations continue.
