Magaly Medina offered a reward to whoever gives her the interviews she did with Alex Brocca.

The recent release of the film ‘Chabuca’, inspired by Ernesto Pimentel, has aroused great curiosity about Alex Brocca, former partner of the famous Peruvian presenter. Although the dancer died in 2004, his story has come to life again through journalistic records and the book ‘Canto sin dolor: Do not repeat the song’.

In 1999, Alex Brocca offered an interview with Magaly Medina on Frecuencia Latina, currently known as Latina TV. This valuable testimony is not available online, as confirmed by the journalist herself. There is no trace of this material on Google or YouTube, it is only kept by the channel in its archives and exclusively.

“It’s true, I interviewed him twice. I’ve looked for the interview, of course, how could I not? It’s not here on ATV because that was when I belonged to ‘Latina’, which at that time was called ‘Frecuencia Latina’. I started my program here in November 1997 and in July 1998 I started working in Latina. I’m leaving this channel, I’m leaving because I have many differences on this channel and I’m going to work in Latina for two years, from 98 to 2000,” the host said on April 16 on ‘Magaly TV La Firme’

Alex Brocca and Ernesto Pimentel were a couple.

The host wondered why no information or interviews about the dancer can be found on the Internet, as is the case with other entertainment personalities. Furthermore, she is sure that Latina TV is not going to share it with her because she now works for the competition.

“This interview does not exist on Google either, on YouTube, it is not there. We have looked for her everywhere and it seems that she has disappeared from the virtual world. Very strange, isn’t it? Almost everything that has to do with Ernesto Pimentel and Alex Broca has disappeared. It really smells strange to me. Because, of course, there are people who, if it’s true, are ordered to delete that from YouTube and Google histories, are ordered to be deleted. There are people who are specifically dedicated to doing that, hackers specialized in that,” stated the host.

During that interview, Alex Brocca revealed details about his relationship with Ernesto Pimentel without specifying his name, generating intrigue about the exact content of his statements, as Magaly Medina recalled in the latest edition of her program Magaly TV La Firme, on April 16. from 2024.

This excerpt reveals the nature of the relationship between the two, a topic that until now generates interest in the public. The driver also referred to it.

“I have been told that the film (‘Chabuca’) talks about the interview I did with Alex Brocca, but it gives a different version of how the interview really happened. They’re not going to blame me for anyone’s coming out. If they involve me, I have the right to give my version,” he said on ‘Magaly TV La Firme’.

Magaly Medina has expressed her willingness to provide her version of the events, emphasizing that at no time did she seek to pressure Alex Brocca to talk about the sexuality of the host of ‘El Reventonazo de la chola’. Although the journalist did not go into details about what was discussed, she did announce her intention to share more information in the April 17 edition of her program ‘Magaly TV La Firme’.

Furthermore, the communicator has openly shown her interest in finding the videos of her interviews, which is why she has not hesitated to offer a reward to whoever delivers them to her.

“If anyone has the interview, recorded it due to A, B or . I have looked for it, as I said, here on this channel. We don’t have it because I didn’t work at ATV. Otherwise, I would have immediately gotten involved in the issue,” she assured.
