Overview
- Melissa Lobatón posted a TikTok on Father's Day with the line “No celebres el Día del Padre si nunca hiciste tu labor,” calling attention to a strained relationship with her biological father.
- When a user wrote “Se agradece y se dice gracias, Farfán,” Melissa replied that Farfán gives her nothing and that she works and pays for her own things.
- The exchange renewed public focus on a longer family rift: Melissa publicly said in December 2025 that she has no relationship with Abel Lobatón, who in 2024 defended his past absence by citing his football career.
- Coverage so far amplifies Melissa's social-media statements and notes that neither Abel Lobatón nor Jefferson Farfán has issued a new public response to the June posts.
- Peruvian tabloids and entertainment outlets have kept the story alive by linking Melissa's comments to past remarks by her half sister Samahara, who has described Farfán as a father figure, sustaining public interest in the family's dynamics.
