Verónica Gonzáles Admits Faking Pregnancy Involving Singer Josimar

The confession set up a possible defamation case, putting fresh scrutiny on how Peru’s gossip TV drives reputations.

Overview

  • Speaking live on Q’Bochinche on Tuesday, Verónica Gonzáles said she invented a pregnancy tied to salsa singer Josimar as payback after he accused her of extortion and involvement with his cousin.
  • Josimar told the show’s producers in messages they aired that he will pursue a defamation complaint and that his lawyers are reviewing her statements and the outlets that repeated them.
  • Hours after the broadcast, his ex-partner María Fe Saldaña messaged the program to dismiss Gonzáles as a liar and criticized giving her airtime.
  • Gonzáles fired back by accusing the singer of defaming her, said he used her, and stated she is ready to face any legal move he files.
  • Q’Bochinche acted as the go-between by linking guests on air and showing chats, underscoring how Peruvian tabloid programs can escalate private disputes into public legal threats.
