María Pía Copello’s Streaming Launch Faces Questions Over Viewer Spikes as She Defends Family Business

The fallout centers on abrupt view-count surges and her on-air stand against online attacks on her daughter’s venture.

Overview

  • Copello debuted +QTV’s live show “Sin más que decir” on Feb. 2, drawing early concurrent audiences of roughly 5,000–7,000 that rose to about 14,000.
  • Viewers recorded sudden jumps to reported peaks ranging from about 61,000 to as high as 105,000 before rapid drops back toward baseline, fueling suspicions of inflated counts.
  • Carlos Orozco mocked the debut’s impact on Feb. 3 and referenced alleged bot use, though no platform-level verification of artificial traffic has been disclosed.
  • On the premiere, Copello warned she would pursue action over defamation tied to her minor daughter’s chocoteja venture Catitejas, which she said began as a school project and now has mall stands.
  • Copello said she is not the final decision-maker at +QTV after saying a message from La Manada’s producer felt like a warning, while Abneer Robles accused +QTV of trying to recruit his staff and called it sabotage.
