“How do you get along with Pampita?”

Mirtha Legrand’s uncomfortable question to Isabel Macedo: “How do you get along with Pampita?”

Isabel Macedo’s visit to the table of Mirtha Legrand, who is specially hosting the Juana Viale cycle, caused the diva and the actress to star in a tense moment: the reason was a question from the diva about the fight she had with Pampita 14 years ago for an alleged affair that she would have had with Benjamín Vicuña.

“How is your relationship with Pampita?” he said, taking Juan Manuel Urtubey’s wife by surprise. “Oh well. Yes. Good,” she pointed out, making the driver ask the question again while she covered her face with a napkin.

“Why are you covering yourself?” asked the remembered Graduados actress and the entertainer insisted. “Because they had a fight in Punta del Este years ago,” she commented, about that scandal where her model grabbed her by the hair, in the middle of a fit of rage.

“I tell you one thing. “I don’t remember what I ate yesterday, look if I’m going to remember what happened 20 years ago,” commented Macedo, calmly but Mirtha continued. “I remember very well. “At the exit of a bowling alley,” she shot.

At that moment Yuyito González, who was also a guest, tried to decompress. “It is very healthy to have selective memory,” said the ex-vedette, a phrase that helped Isabel get rid of her. “I have it,” she said, dryly.

“Well, that’s fine, dear,” Chiqui commented, trying to change the subject, but Isabel wouldn’t let her go. “Yes, she is fine, but…” she attacked, while she made a strong gesture with her hands and Mirtha did not let it go. “You said you don’t remember. “She look…” she poked her, ironically.

“No. I swear it doesn’t seem right to me to hold on to things from the past. “It seems good to me to look at the present and the future,” responded the Guapas and Sandro de América actress. “You are married to a splendid man,” added the host. “Besides, yes, I am married to a splendid man, life is growth. It is trying to be better, everything that lies ahead and everything we have today,” she closed.

In 2010, in the middle of a New Year’s Eve party in honor of Shakira organized by a bowling alley in Esteño, the fight broke out that is still talked about to this day. Isabel claimed at that time that Pampita had physically and verbally attacked her in the context of that celebration.

Connie Ansaldi was one of the witnesses to that controversy. “There were few of us who were really there and we had to separate them. Benjamín (Vicuña) froze, ‘what do I do?’ Carolina and Benjamín arrived later, Isabel was dancing with her friends. He was the VIP and we all knew who was who. Germán Paoloski and Sabrina Garciarena were also there,” the journalist recalled in 2021 in LAM.

“The two of them arrive and Caro starts dancing on the couch, in front of me Isabel was two meters away, everyone was happy, happy and celebrating… the night was ending and Carolina looked at her, looked at her… ‘take her’ I tell her to Benjamín”, he detailed.

“He had been careless, he had not been the first nor the only one, but he did not think that what happened next would happen. He is the culprit, not the two of them, each one resolved as she could. She (Macedo) left with her friends to leave and Caro left. It all happened so fast and he grabbed her, and then we all ran after her. She was grabbed by security, I put her inside and told her ‘Not expensive here’. Everyone told me ‘have it,’” she said.
