After the violent attack of fury that Negra Vernaci had on air this week in her program on Pop Radio (FM 101.5) and the repercussions it generated, Rodrigo Lussich joined the criticism against the host and made a strong complaint against her.
The announcer had been targeted and had become viral on social networks for the controversial attitude she had, days ago, when she exploded against her colleagues, shot at the radio and even fluttered a pair of headphones.
First it was Martina Soto Pose who came out to the crossing. "Let's not defend the indefensible. Less when it comes to a person who is known to be violent, aggressive and mistreat work teams, "said the journalist.
On Monday, Vernaci had a fit of rage in the air and fluttered a pair of headphones.
And now Lussich joined, who in Partners of the show (El Trece, at 10.30) recalled his rivalry with the historic host and whitewashed the origins of the confrontation.
Rodrigo Lussich's strong account of his experience with Negra Vernaci
"If I have to tell my whole story with Negra Vernaci, I need to do a monologue. She behaved very badly with me. He made me kick out of Radio Pop twice, basically," Rodrigo Lussich began saying on his El Trece program.
Then, when asked if he knew the reasons why Vernaci had taken him off the station, the driver warned: "He disliked him because I make jokes, because he has a prejudice. Because it underestimates me, because it prejudges me for a lot of things that exceed me..."
"
She would go up to the management to chop my head to get me removed during the two tenures I had. With the bad experience of having returned for exactly the same thing to happen. And in that I take charge of the mistake of having returned to work in a place where I had already been fired. And they threw me out again...", he said, self-deprecating.
Lussich elaborated on why he believes Vernaci had him kicked off Pop radio twice.
"Because as long as she's on that radio I'm not going to be able to have a place there. There are programs with much less ratings than I did that are still on the air. People ask me to come back all the time... The program was going very well," he continued with his disclaimer.
"But how is it? She is not the owner of the radio, the attitude is not good because she is a companion who is going to ask for a head ... That's horrible," Paula Varela said.
And there Lussich explained: "They have an atrocious panic. They dread him. Apart from not listening to her, they give her the pleasure. As long as it's not going to sting your head up, you can do it several times..."
The origin of the fight between Rodrigo Lussich and La Negra Vernaci
"I made the mistake of having tweeted when I debuted on that radio in the afternoon time she had in 2019. I ask the director of the radio station for permission to tweet that I was going to debut, he gives me the authorization and I inadvertently set the schedule. But since she has a straw tail because she was going to Lalo Mir's schedule and had not warned her, I exposed her unintentionally. And from there, the cross," Lussich said.
And he stressed that, since then, the bond between them went from bad to worse: "I was never able to talk to her again because the last time we argued, last year, she blocked me directly. Because he went on the air to say that I had sent a camera from this program to look for Roberto Pettinato when his son was detained and to break the balls at the door of the radio when he was not a camera of our program..."
"When he blocked me, I rotted there. I swelled my eggs," Lussich explained of his fight with Vernaci.
"I texted him and said 'look, it's not us, stop farting around'. But she hates me, I had already had an argument with her because once we did send her a camera without telling her. And she had become angry. On that occasion I apologized to him. He complained and I gave him the reason, because I had it and we never sent him a camera again...", he continued.
Then, the journalist recounted the moment when he got tired of his colleague's attitude and decided to confront her.
"When it blocks me, that's when I rot. I swelled my eggs, like when I debuted the second time on the radio and said 'these people stumble twice on the same stone. They rehire a guy they took out' for me. The day I was bullied by the camera, I took my microphone as a radio host and said 'I'm going to talk, they've rotten me'. She went to management and said if I didn't apologize on air, she would resign."
"The next day they asked me from above to apologize and I didn't do it because I didn't feel it. In fact, the opposite, it was rotten that he has me as a son from the day I debuted on that radio. Of course the day I talked about it was my death certificate and of course they didn't renew my contract...", he said.
"I got tired of Vernaci bardeing me," Lussich said. TV Capture
Anyway, the journalist acknowledged: "At the same time she is a radio woman. She's a fucking professional. A lucidity. He has a humor that I like, with which I feel identified. So, it's a cudgel for me. Because I wanted to get along with her and I even offered to do a column on her show..."
"The main problem is that she is prejudiced. He never listened to my show. I never did a gossip show in Pop, I did a comedy show. Better or worse than hers? It doesn't matter, it's my search," he concluded with his disclaimer.
