Cris Morena and the RGB producer denounced Florencia for plagiarism, assuring that it was a copy of Floricienta and, to be honest, the plot was quite similar with slight modifications. Therefore, the courts determined that the plaintiffs were right and “Niní” had to broadcast a double chapter that gave an accelerated conclusion and abrupt to history.
“I don’t think I was wrong with Niní. Not really. It was a spectacular program, the first production I did, I wrote the songs. Yes, it was a boys’ show and yes, it competed with products she made, but it wasn’t that they couldn’t live with what she made. Also, out of 30 scenes she had, in 15 she was disguised as a man, and she had never done that before. I think it was more the trouble of making something that competed with the products that Cris made in general.”, Florencia commented in 2018.
However, the differences were left behind in 2019, when Cris Morena sent him a message for his birthday and, a year later, they announced the return of Floricienta for the channel’s 30th anniversary.
