Jacob Ostos recently claimed that he did not slap Miguel Frigenti, insisting his account of the events was the true one. The confrontation occurred in a nightclub last weekend, and Ostos chose not to apologize. Instead, he framed the incident as a lesson in respect, arguing that Frigenti had criticized and warned his father after his death.
Ostos warned the alleged collaborator, saying, “I know you denounced me, he knew the consequences,” and adding that the situation would blow up in the other person’s hands because reporting a crime falsely would lead to consequences such as unfounded denunciation, insults, and slander. According to Ostos, there was no actual hitting or insult toward Frigenti. He described the dead as worthy of respect and claimed the other party had been too calm at the disco, too clumsy to avoid making mistakes.
María Patiño’s emotional moment on Save Me
A scene at the program Save Me showed María Patiño breaking into tears, leaving viewers puzzled about the cause. The moment prompted widespread discussion among fans and critics who watched the episode unfold.
James defended his own actions, saying it was equally disrespectful to discuss his recently deceased father. He did not offer an apology, stating that it would have been different if he had seen Frigenti five minutes after the comments, explaining that he had not slapped him and that respect had been taught, with no intent to cause harm. Jaime Ostos’s son stood by this account.
Miguel Frigenti’s account of the events
Frigenti asserted that he did receive a punch from Ostos and claimed that Ostos whispered an insult in his ear, saying, “Don’t play with the dead, you” followed by a slur.
After the incident, Frigenti described feeling shocked and embarrassed, receiving support from colleagues as the night continued at the disco. He had recently started working as the face of a store and wondered about the consequences of his public actions. He did not head straight to the hospital, but filed a medical report at the police station the following day and began legal steps.
Whether this sequence was a clash of tempers, a miscommunication, or something more serious, the episode sparked intense debate about respect, accountability, and the impact of comment and consequence in public life.
Reaction to online remarks and public exchanges
Observers suggested that Ostos might have interpreted public discussion as a test of character, while Frigenti and his supporters argued that the remarks and actions crossed lines that should be protected in any conversation about death and memory. The exchange highlighted the volatile mix of media visibility, personal history, and the boundaries of provocation in televised discourse.
As the discussion extended across social networks and television programs, many called for calm, clarity, and a focus on verifiable facts rather than sensationalism. Both sides claimed they were defending personal integrity and the memory of a family member, while critics urged careful consideration of the consequences of public accusations and insults in the heat of the moment.
