Venezuelan influencer Korina Rivadeneira has publicly denied allegations of infidelity during her past relationship with Peruvian race car driver Mario Hart, breaking months of silence following the announcement of their separation.
Addressing her followers on social media, the former reality television star became emotional as she responded to growing public scrutiny and derogatory comments regarding her personal life and recent public appearances.
Rivadeneira firmly rejected rumors suggesting she had been unfaithful to Hart, with whom she shares two children. She stated that throughout all of her romantic relationships she had maintained total respect for her partners, emphasizing that she never engaged with anyone outside of her relationship.
Regarding her time with Hart specifically, the actress explained that she always honored their relationship out of personal integrity, guided by her own beliefs and values. She expressed sadness at feeling compelled to publicly defend her conduct and personal principles.
Backlash over viral concert video
The public scrutiny intensified after videos circulated online showing Rivadeneira dancing at a concert performed by the Venezuelan band Rawayana. During the show, she featured in a moment that went viral on social media after she appeared to be ignored by the band's lead singer, Beto Montenegro.
Rivadeneira revealed that the fallout from the footage led to a wave of insulting and degrading comments online. She acknowledged that reading the harsh messages had caused her significant pain, prompting her to speak out directly to her audience.
Defending her vibrant lifestyle, Rivadeneira insisted that her outgoing personality had never changed during her time with Hart. She described herself as a naturally cheerful, energetic person who has always loved music, dancing, and fashion, noting that those who know her well are familiar with her lively character.
She recalled that even while dating the race car driver, she frequently spent entire nights dancing, despite Hart not sharing her passion for dancing. She added that her choice of clothing and expressive nature were never issues during their relationship, declaring that she would not transform into a more subdued or quiet individual merely to satisfy societal expectations of being a good woman.
Background and relationship history
Rivadeneira built a prominent career in Peru as a model, actress, and reality show contestant, gaining widespread recognition on the hit competition program Esto es guerra. Hart, a well-known Peruvian racing driver and media personality, has also maintained a high-profile presence in local entertainment.
The couple previously wed in a civil ceremony that was later legally annulled by Peruvian authorities. Earlier statements surrounding their separation revealed that Hart initiated the end of their relationship on two separate occasions, with Rivadeneira identifying her transition into motherhood as the definitive turning point in their marriage.
