TikToker Valentino Palacios Under Scrutiny After Ventanilla Fight as Audio Indicates He Pushed Woman

Responsibility remains unresolved, with investigators weighing conflicting accounts.

Overview

  • Zamira Grados underwent ankle surgery and says she must remain bedridden for about a month after the February 14 altercation outside the Iguana nightclub in Ventanilla.
  • Palacios denies causing any fractures or kicking anyone, asserting he intervened to protect his brother and that he filed a complaint at the Ventanilla police station alleging assault and a stolen phone.
  • Video of the street fight has circulated widely, and the Q'Bochinche program aired a call in which Palacios is heard admitting he pushed the young woman, though the clip does not establish who caused the fracture.
  • Zentral Studio, where Palacios appears as a host, issued a statement rejecting violence and said it will wait for clear, verified information before deciding on any measures.
  • Media figures condemned the incident on air, the victim’s family is pressing for medical and legal costs to be covered, and Palacios’s mother says she will sue TV host Janet Barboza for labeling him an 'aggressor of women.'
