Sofía 'Jujuy' Jiménez Faces Fan Backlash After Smiling Video at La Bombonera

She posted an Instagram defense saying her reaction followed a goal that was later annulled and her account highlights tensions between influencers and vocal Boca supporters.

Overview

  • Jiménez recorded and shared a short video from the stands during Boca Juniors' Libertadores match that showed her smiling and singing, which many fans saw as out of step with the crowd's frustration.
  • She replied on her official Instagram account saying she had been filming a momentary celebration after a Merentiel strike that was later cancelled for a hand by Milton Delgado and denied any intent to provoke supporters.
  • The post stressed her lifelong support for Boca and a personal connection to the club through her late father, and she said she will keep attending matches when she can.
  • Coverage so far has stayed at the level of media and social-media debate with no formal response from Boca Juniors and no further escalation beyond online criticism and defenses.
  • The episode highlights how brief social videos by public figures can reshape perceptions inside charged stadium atmospheres and suggests clubs and influencers may face more scrutiny over in-stadium content going forward.
