Everything happened hastily in the last two days: first
the accusation of sexual abuse against Jey Mammón
, then the statement of the driver himself and that same day, Thursday, the official announcement of Telefe disassociating Jey from
La Peña de Morfi
, from this Sunday .
Later, the speculation about who would accompany Jésica Cirio in conducting the Sunday cycle of Telefe, and the first name that was rumored was that of Georgina Barbarossa.
Until Friday, it was
the host herself who spoke and confirmed it
, from her daily cycle
From her to Barbarossa
.
Jey Mammón, for now, disconnected from La Peña de Morfi.
He is replaced by Georgina Barbarossa,
other replacements
Georgina has already made other replacements in channel cycles, such as in
Cortá by Lozano,
but it was always because of vacations for the host, Verónica Lozano.
Now, the circumstances are very different.
After the criminal complaint for sexual abuse aggravated by carnal access that Lucas Benvenuto (27) made to Jey Mammón, visibly affected by the subject, Barbarossa recounted what she feels at this moment with the responsibility that she has to face when having to replace her colleague.
“It is tremendous, it is very painful because I love Jey very much and we share many years working.
So it makes me sad.
It was very difficult for me to do the program today, ”he told
LAM
on a mobile phone , once he finished his program.
“Telefe gave his statement and Jey gave his statement.
Let's see how Justice is issued.
On Sunday I am going to do the program with all the love in the world
because we know that
La Peña
is a program for everyone, for the family, for the children, for the adults, and we must convey the joy that the public needs at this time and What does he want".

And he added: “You have to take care of that beautiful space and we go with all the joy in the world.
The only thing I can tell you is 'with the boys, no'.
The other day I read a phrase that said 'when women say no, it's no;
when kids say yes, it's no.'”
Will it be final?
Neither the host nor the channel confirmed whether Georgina's replacement will be for one, for several programs or permanently
.
And if so, it is not yet known who could fill the role in driving.
Hours earlier, the official statement issued by the channel that the conductors of the
Telefe Noticias
newscast , Rodolfo Barili and Cristina Pérez, read on the air, said: "Based on publicly available information, Telefe agreed with Jey Mammón to temporarily suspend its continuity as driver of
La Peña de Morfi,
granting him the time he deems necessary to sort out situations of a personal nature".
"Telefe is faithful to the principles that the company has maintained throughout its history. Respect, rights and compliance with the law are fundamental pillars of its values."
Jey's Discharge
Two hours before the channel made a public statement, Jey Mammón had used her social networks to make her statement about it
.
The cycle had begun its new season this Sunday and Mammón was once again in charge of the program that he joined after the death of its creator, Gerardo Rozin.

Juan Martín Rago (real name of Jey Mammón) had made his defense, from his social networks saying: "Given the dissemination of a complaint that the Justice decided to prescribe, in the case of a false episode in much of its content, I see myself
in
the need to report that this action, which seeks unspeakable profits to the detriment of my person, is added to a persistent campaign of harassment and defamation".
"
I have suffered extortionate conduct
on the part of the person who filed a complaint that the Justice dismissed and closed," the driver wrote.
"Without prejudice to the legal actions to be taken, it is imperative to make it clear that the situation raised is the product of the conduct of a person who, in this case, and before the Justice, has acted untruthfully."
And he added: "The media installation of the issue has put at stake the prestige and honor of whoever speaks to them in a delicate and sensitive event for the whole of society." I pray to God that the truth flows, is exposed and is known, "he concluded.
