Pitty, whose real name is Verónica Asad, gained public recognition through television appearances where she made predictions. She has since cultivated a large following on social media, with approximately one million followers. Her practice of numerology involves assigning meaning to numbers and linking them to personal characteristics or life events based on names and birthdates.

Her name gained significant attention in 2023 when it was revealed she had been hired for coaching services during Silvina Batakis's tenure at Banco Nación. Pitty has also developed various business ventures, including "Pitty Velas," which sells candles and essences and operates through franchises. It was through this franchise business that she connected with Romina Calvo.

She came to many of my courses and workshops. Later, she found out I was selling franchises. She came interested in wanting to buy a franchise, but she couldn't because she didn't have the money. Since I saw that she worked so well, I gave her an opportunity. She started paying everything properly, taking charge of the premises. In fact, a month ago, she put a deposit on another location.

Pitty explained that Calvo had attended her courses and workshops and was interested in buying a franchise. Although Calvo initially lacked the funds, Pitty offered her an opportunity due to her strong work ethic. Calvo began making payments and managing a location, and recently put a deposit on another franchise. Pitty stated she was unaware of Calvo's relationship with her husband but confirmed that the victim's son contacted her to report the murder.

The truth is that the man is a murderer, a femicide. One cannot believe that these situations still exist.
