The controversial Peruvian host, Laura Bozzo, appeared before various media outlets to give details of her most recent project with Imagen Televisión, which will be called ¡Que pasen Laura!. There he spoke about the theme of the program, as well as other personal details, such as the case with Gabriel Soto and Irina Baeva.
It was during the course of Tuesday, April 12, when the former Televisa and TV Azteca host offered a few words at a press conference for her new television station, where she quickly addressed the issue of Gabriel Soto and Irina Baeva, where she explained how the legal process that began in 2020 and concluded in mid-October 2021 with a ruling in favor of the couple.
“All legal issues should be discussed with my lawyers,” argued the 69-year-old Mexican and Italian naturalized litigator.
Later, the presenter who will return to the small screens in Mexico, next Monday, April 18 through the ibImagen Televisión signal, recalled how the problem arose with the pair of performers and explained that it was during her stay with Univision on the program, La opina, that she was asked an opinion which was misrepresented.
“That subject of Irina and Gabriel Soto, I understand that it had been appealed because it is an opinion I said on a Univision program called La opina. Irina was going to give a lecture on women, they told me 'what do you think? ' ; I said 'it doesn't represent me'. If I sued everyone who talks [about me], I would be a millionaire,” concluded Laura Cecilia Bozzo Rotondo.
Both actors sued Bozzo in October 2020 for the crimes of defamation, harassment and threats following Miss Laura's public statements about the couple, in which she claimed that Gabriel had ended up with his then-wife Geraldine Bazán because of an infidelity with Baeva.
Previously, it was rumored that the consequences Laura Bozzo could have faced ranged from losing her legal name if requested by the plaintiff, in addition to paying Soto and Irina compensation after losing the lawsuit for moral damage, which secured the morning show Sale el Sol, which may have amounted to just over 13 millions of pesos.
The legal process only lasted a year. On October 20, 2021, a judge determined that the evidence presented by the actors was sufficient to proceed against them. According to the decision of the Superior Court of Justice of Mexico City (TSJCDMX), Laura Bozzo must compensate the couple for moral damage.
The lawyer for both actors, Gustavo Herrera, said that the monetary amount would still depend on a process that determines their income, contracts with television stations or brands. At the moment it is unknown what arrangement the Peruvian presenter reached with the entertainment network that is located near Copilco, south of CDMX.
It should be recalled that Laura Bozzo returned to Mexico, after some problems related to her fiscal situation. At the time, the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) requested an arrest warrant against him by Interpol, but it was later withdrawn.
This is the first time that the controversial television host has led to talk about the case of Gabriel Soto and Irina Baeva, since 2021, when she offered an interview for the magazine TVNovelas where she refused to have lost the legal battle with the Mexican soap opera heartthrob.
“I don't have to pay a single peso to the gentleman (Gabriel Soto),” said the presenter, who immortalized the phrase Let the wretch pass, in an interview for the Mexican publication.
