It became one of the most memorable television scandals of the 1990s.

And it all happened in the studio of the program that Mauro Viale was conducting in

America

at that time, Noon with Mauro.

From one day to the next, television - due to the so-called Coppola Case - was filled with characters that would soon feed a kind of detachment from the show business that continues to this day:

the media.

Days when the public knew who

Samantha Farjat, Fernanda Villar,

the lawyer

Mariano Cúneo Libarona, "Yayo" Cozza, Natalia De Negri

and even someone who would become a "hero" of the genre, still unknown:

Jacobo Winograd.

Noon with Mauro.

The common place was the shouting, the insults, the girls pulling each other's wicks, the entrances and exits of the studio and everything, under the - supposedly absorbed - look of Mauro.

The breeding ground for this plague started in

October 1996

when, by order of a judge, the police raided the apartment of the then manager of

Diego Maradona, Guillermo Coppola

There he found a bag with almost half a kilo of cocaine in a vase.

Over the years Samanta even became a danceable hit and when his quarter of an hour passed, he dedicated himself to counting the

behind-the-scenes

of a business

, although the ninth-year-old public - still tender in these matters - imagined that TV had gone completely crazy.

Farjat said he scandalized for money.

“

Not only did they pay you a lot and in dollars as

well - one-to-one times - but they paid you not to go to another program.

Then they would take you all day to a five-star hotel, with a spa so that you wouldn't go elsewhere ”.

The program

Mauro Viale was one of those who asked exclusivity

those creatures who then would

know, perhaps Pumped, with other names and other faces in the famous house of the

big brother.

When this started,

Mauro Viale

was on

Channel 7, ATC

and Samantha was a 19-year-old girl studying for a Bachelor of Advertising.

”It

was complicated because Avelino Porto, the rector,

did not like the theme of the exhibition very much and he controlled me a lot.

I did not take dimension of what was happening behind the camera.

You talk as if you were in the living room of your house and you answer like a teenage girl almost ".

People remember the fights and the characters.

But he never really knew what was going on, or why they were fighting.

The Coppola Case went into the background

so that one and the other sided with one of the girls, Samantha being the favorite villain.

"I was in a place and Fernanda (Villar) and Natalia were holding on to their hair, and it is today that they tell me that it was me," Farjat recalls, giving credence to the general misunderstanding.

What's more,

Samantha denied being the night

police found 40 grams of cocaine in a vase at Coppola's home.

Nobody remembers anything other than the trouble they made in Viale's studio, who managed to deploy

the first top noon

on Argentine TV with a titans in the girls' ring.

One of the naughty women, perhaps the least accused,

Natalia De Negri (with an impeccable later television career in Miami as a host),

later, in an interview, said: "We suffered."

“When I got to Mauro's, I had been imprisoned in Dolores.
