Last Thursday, the journalist Luis Ventura threw a bomb where he said that the actor Luciano Castro “received 10 thousand dollars to have tea with Amalia Fortabat. The actor, one of the protagonists of The First of Us, reacted to the viralization of the news and angrily called the journalist.
“He (Luciano Castro) was doing a program, at that time he was 19 years old. Amalita (Fortabat) sent for him with her driver every fortnight and paid him $10,000 for each afternoon that she went to have tea, “Ventura had said on the A la afternoon program.
Immediately after the scoop that the entertainment journalist said, his sayings went viral and the actor’s name was a trend on social networks. Castro did not take well what Ventura said and decided to put a brake on it.
On the other hand, last Friday on the A la afternoon program, Ventura again referred to Castro and said that he had received a call from the actor.
“Yesterday, after the program, Luciano Castro contacted me. He was very upset. We had a rough start to dialogue, without losing form or education,” Ventura recounted. And he continued: “A Luciano Castro who told me: ‘Luis, I never had the chance to meet Amalita Fortabat.'”
Then, Ventura recounted the origin of that version: “I received information from someone linked to the media, someone who not only gave me yesterday’s information, but others in which the majority had certainty and precision.”
And he explained that he ended up asking the actor for forgiveness: “But in this case, I want to apologize to Luciano Castro and his entire family. I have the dignity to apologize when appropriate.”
“If I said something out of place, I send you a big hug and that we continue to have the bond that we had until now,” concluded Ventura.
