Although the reality show was recorded in November 2022, the influencer’s complaint against the actor was only now formalized, perhaps because the images of the alleged sexual abuse are beginning to be seen.
It is true that the worst of the attitudes of Majo Martino’s brother has not yet been seen, but the actor was finally expelled from the reality show for these attitudes.
The complaint is already in the courts but it promises to be one of the topics of the year since if it were verified it would be a televised sexual abuse.
The complaint
“I formally present the criminal complaint for the commission of the crime of repeated sexual abuse with carnal access against Mr. Juan Manuel Martino. For being a victim of the facts to be investigated in a context of gender violence, “he begins by saying the document that was read by Angel de Brito in his program.
“The events denounced have taken place where the aforementioned reality show (El Hotel de los Famosos 2) was recorded, in the Cañuelas area. The defendant was a teammate from which a good relationship was generated between us.”
“Juan at first listened to me, advised me. And he went from advising me apparently and without interest, to imposing what to say and what to do. This occurred when he began to get tired of me, of me sharing time with him, but I didn’t want to have sex.”
“When I told him I didn’t want to have sex, he replaced the attempts to conquer with violent behaviors, tending to manipulate and harass me in coexistence. Although at first it did in a sneaky way, he did not do it in front of everyone and it was not a constant attitude either. On the third day of the program, Juan won a game from which he was empowered as a prize to choose the person who accompanies him to sleep in the suite. Said choice bothered me, since I had just met the defendant, but that was nothing compared to the events that arose later. Once we started sharing the room, he bothered me with questions such as if he could take off his shirt. To which I replied no, but she took it out anyway. I didn’t give it relevance, but looking back, it was the first sample of a person who did not recognize any limit to my sexual and psychological integrity”.
“He was talking in double meanings about that he was horny, referring to his member, sex and other issues that made me feel uncomfortable. But I tried to hide it because I was a little afraid and even ashamed. And because of the context, given that I was in a television reality show, which led me to reason in the wrong way considering that, since I put myself in that situation because of my work, it would look bad if I started with complaints against a colleague, for being Until then, a misplaced person who constantly talked about sex and who constantly tried to have physical contact with me.
In her presentation, the influencer remarked that Juani Martino is a “sexual offender who built a true monster in my psyche, who through tireless acts of violence and humiliation was managing to increase my level of tolerance for their behavior legitimizing the degradation of my person and submitting myself to his power.”
“The defendant on one occasion passed close to me and pawed my tail (…). This was the act that began to bend my will and make me psychologically against the ropes”, this is how she described the first opportunity of the many in which she was abused by the journalist’s brother.
“Fact two: one day when I entered the bathroom to brush my teeth, the accused suddenly got behind me. violating my privacy to kiss me, touch me and others. on such occasions the microphone was removed so that it could not be heard. And he was constantly trying to pull my clothes down, which put me in a place of vulnerability and utter helplessness. Once these events happened, he continued mistreating me, insulting me, humiliating me as if nothing had happened (…) One night he took me to the countryside, away from the cameras, telling me that he wanted to have sex, which I refused. On another occasion when I was bathing, too He went into the bathroom to try to have sex, a situation that I managed to repel,” the complaint continues.
“These situations were constant and occurred in front of the other participants. He pretended to have a certain sexual code with me. For example, he would tell me that when he bit his mouth and looked me up and down, it meant he wanted to have sex. (…) He behaved as if he were his partner, my boyfriend, and deposited on my back the obligation to satisfy him sexually even in the face of my repeated denials. Even some colleagues have come to insist on me, as a result of the construction that the defendant did on me,” he explained.
“Another situation occurred in the pool, when we were in a group in some inflatables, and he put his foot in my tail. To which I reacted very badly, I exposed him, for which he got angry and insulted me with a lot of violence saying that I was a ‘button’, which was a ‘frigid’ and other grievances of that nature. Juan wanted to sleep with me, that we put the beds together. I wanted to sleep alone but in order not to create a conflict and not to get angry, I slept with him for a while and then I went to my bed. Whenever I slept with him, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to touch me with his member and try to grope me, all this ahead of the other colleagues,” the complaint continues.
“On another occasion, he got into the bathroom and started touching me. He performed oral sex on me and penetrated me with his member, without my consent and without protection, aggressively and untimely. This situation collapsed me spiritually and psychologically. I felt worse than ever totally outraged, defenseless and reviled “
“Finally, the November 24, 2022 I got angry with him because in a game in which we said the best and the worst about each other, he exposed me in front of everyone implying that I was weak, that I was just a pretty girl that no one would remember, that I did not generate anything to the program (…). next, Federico Baron He cuts it off while he was talking to me, he went crazy, got up and behaved violently in front of everyone. That week I had already had several discussions with a participant named Fernando Carrillo, to whom he hit him in a game. (…) Am The lack of intervention on the part of all the participants, directly and indirectly in the reality show, left me with only one certainty: that I was alone in the face of abuse.”
“That night, when I go to sleep, he comes to the room, he asks me what was wrong with me. After that, we lay in my bed. And he tells me that he had to choose between the gift of wisdom or intelligence. Playing along, I tell him the one with wisdom. Immediately afterwards he tells me not to be scared, that he was going to speak to me in a strange language. He grabs his face with his hand and with the other he begins to make some drawings or symbols in forehead, while he did some kind of ritual to me.Followed by that, He tells me that he wants to feel me. And I tell him no, I didn’t want to. I try to use the cameras as an excuse, I tell him that they were recording. And she told me that he knew that the cameras did not work and did not record, that nothing could be seen because the infrared camera was not there. Without giving me time to answer and without refusing to have sexual relations with him and all the things that I told him, He climbed up on me, he started kissing me, he pulled my pajamas down and he started penetrating me,” the influencer described.
“I was in shock. I didn’t move and I didn’t want to say anything because the other classmates were in the room and I didn’t want them to see that this was happening between us. I just wanted it to end and go away. I had no way out.”
“A few minutes later, Nicolás, the producer of the night, came in and threw a box of condoms,” implying that the producers thought it was a consensual situation between the two.
“The next day I woke up very bad. She didn’t want to talk to him or look at his face, she didn’t want to look up in shame. And in that situation, he laughed at me, he carried me. I go to the bathroom to wash my face, he went in to ask me what was wrong. I complained to him about what he had done to me, I asked him why he had forced me to go through that and on top of that I felt extremely exposed. he got angry and He told me that I had to grow up, that I was already a girl. ‘Are you so embarrassed that your parents see you?’, She told me ”.
Finally, Flor told how the production of The Hotel of the Famous 2: “A producer in the morning, Florencia, saw me distressed by the episode. Off camera I tell her what happened, she acts instantly, tells me that she was going to communicate what happened to production. I look for Flor Ventura and tell her what happened Thursday night. Until she calls me production and They isolated me to talk to the psychologist. She told me that they were going to throw him out of the game, that everything was going to be fine. I was completely blocked. He comes after a while Pablo, the director of the production company, to tell me that the participant had already been kicked out of the program and that he should count on them for whatever he needed.”
