Emilia Mernes’s representatives have rejected a television report alleging that the singer tried to kiss footballer Rodrigo De Paul at a party where Tini Stoessel was present.
There is a strong rumor, but I could not discuss this with Tini. I tell the truth.
Journalist Gustavo Méndez discussed the rumor on the program La Mañana con Moria. He said the gathering included De Paul, Stoessel, Mernes, Duki and other artists. According to his account, Mernes allegedly followed De Paul toward a bathroom and made a gesture suggesting she wanted to kiss him when he emerged. Méndez said De Paul then approached Stoessel’s friends and asked them not to tell her anything, insisting that he had done nothing.
Méndez said the information came from De Paul’s side. The allegation revived speculation about the reported distance between Mernes and Stoessel, who had previously appeared together during concerts. Earlier explanations for the rift had included an alleged dispute involving Stoessel’s dancers and personal matters that Stoessel was said to have discussed during the friendship.
Apparently, Emilia made a move toward De Paul’s mouth.
The report also repeated a claim that Stoessel had asked Mernes to return her dancers. Méndez said the two singers met to discuss the situation last year but failed to resolve their differences.
Please, I did nothing. Don’t tell Tini anything.
Mernes’s press team issued a statement rejecting the reports. It said certain media outlets had circulated false information about the singer in recent days, “with the obvious intention to defame” her and without carrying out any prior verification.
With the obvious intention to defame.
