Overview
- Yahaira Plasencia announced Monday that she will continue an aggravated-defamation case against TV host Magaly Medina, appearing in a video with lawyers from Paredes Abogados.
- Her legal team said Medina called her “runruna,” “escort,” “petfriendly” and “mascota,” terms they argue harmed her honor and helped normalize insults toward women.
- Yahaira’s lawyer said the oral trial will be held virtually and that the complaint seeks four and a half years in prison and S/1.5 million in civil damages, naming Medina, a producer and ATV.
- Days earlier, cumbia singer Marisol sent a notarized letter giving Medina 24 hours to retract on-air comments about her body and to apologize, citing alleged defamation and discrimination under Penal Code articles 132 and 323.
- Medina has defended her remarks as fair criticism of public figures, and both artists are pursuing their cases through the same firm, Paredes Abogados.
