Overview
- The Human Rights prosecutor’s office, which opened the case Thursday, assigned prosecutor Luis Valdivia and ordered a psychological exam for Aguirre plus statements from the broadcaster and witnesses.
- The probe centers on a La Granja VIP charades segment where Aguirre linked Chincha to eating cats and used a racialized phrase reported as offensive to Afro-Peruvians.
- Producers cut the audio, changed camera shots, and halted the YouTube live feed, yet clips spread on TikTok and drew broad public condemnation.
- Aguirre posted an Instagram apology admitting her words were inappropriate, and the show said it removed her for acute tracheitis with businesswoman Melissa Klug replacing her.
- Authorities are collecting evidence to decide if the remark meets the crime of discrimination under Peru’s penal code, a decision that could shape how broadcasters police live reality TV and on-air bias.
