Following a weekend incident at a nightclub, the public discussion on the show “Save Me” centered on what happened to Miguel Frigenti. He stated that during the shift he worked at the venue, he was targeted by an assault that left his face swollen and bruised. He accused Jacobo Ostos, the son of a well-known figure, of delivering the punch that caused the visible injuries and described the moment as an assault rather than a simple altercation. He also claimed that prior to the attack, Jacobo had directed him with insulting words.
Frigenti was startled by the ensuing controversy and clarified that although his injuries were not life-threatening, the incident constituted an attack. He recalled, with emphasis, that the offender did not merely slap him but punched him. Despite the swelling and the bruising around his cheekbone, Frigenti indicated that he did not wish to pursue a heated confrontation publicly and preferred to avoid escalating the situation: he would not engage in an argument. He also recounted that the insult preceding the attack involved a derogatory remark aimed at him, intensifying the tension of the moment.
Miguel noted that his eyeglasses were knocked off during the confrontation. He chose not to inflame the situation further and stressed that he did not intend to turn the matter into a larger dispute. He described feeling shocked and embarrassed, noting that the experience left him feeling isolated, given that he had joined the program only a few weeks earlier. He described the moment as one of disbelief, a time when he wondered if his presence on the show would be misinterpreted.
Frigenti eventually sought medical attention the following day and filed a report with the authorities, reflecting on how humiliating the experience felt. He recalled the incongruity of being present, hurt and bloodied, while standing at a modest height and being described in crude terms by the aggressor. He also referenced comments made during the previous program, which he felt added to the emotional strain of the episode.
Jacobo Ostos responds
In response to the incident, María Ángeles Grajal, identified as the daughter of the famous bullfighter Jaime Ostos and a physician named María Ángeles Grajal, stated that the action was merely a corrective slap. Miguel Frigenti, however, asserted that such attempts at correction did not align with what he experienced and suggested that Jacobo might be unaware of the impact of his actions. He questioned the perceived pride in the act and expressed confusion about the excuses offered in defense of the confrontation. He emphasized that the punch appeared intentional and noted potential consequences, including financial liability, should it be pursued through formal channels.
Frigenti further stated that the aggressor might view him as a minor irritant, which could explain the level of force used. He asserted that he defended himself without hesitation and confirmed that filing a report was the right course. The situation, he hinted, would play out further in due course as more facts come to light.
As the discussion on the program continued, the participants reflected on the dynamics of the encounter and its broader implications. The exchange underscored the tension between a public figure linked to a well-known family and a guest who has recently joined a high-profile show. The ultimate outcome of the dispute remained to be seen, but the episode had already highlighted questions about decorum, accountability, and the boundaries of on-air conduct.
