Television producer Peter Fajardo was filmed urinating in the street before greeting former reality star Mario Hart and touching his face and hands.
Footage broadcast by the Peruvian entertainment programme Amor y Fuego captured the Esto es Guerra producer relieving himself between two parked cars in the early hours of the morning following a music festival in the capital city.
Fajardo had spent the night attending the Reggaeton Lima Festival on Saturday, October 31, accompanied by a group of close friends. Urinating in the street is prohibited under municipal regulations, but the television executive was filmed standing between vehicles before walking away to join his party.
Meeting at a local restaurant
After leaving the concert venue, Fajardo and his companions travelled to an area restaurant to have dinner together. Shortly after the group arrived and settled at their table, Hart walked into the same establishment accompanied by his own circle of friends.
Upon spotting the producer, the professional racing driver approached the table to greet him. Fajardo received Hart with visible warmth and enthusiasm, repeatedly reaching out to touch the driver's face and hands as a gesture of personal affection.
The physical interaction immediately drew attention because Fajardo had urinated outdoors only a short time earlier. The television broadcast emphasised that the producer had made direct physical contact with Hart without carrying sanitiser or washing his hands beforehand.
Presenters react with disgust
The broadcast of the incident caused immediate shock in the Amor y Fuego studio. Co-hosts Rodrigo Gonzalez, widely known to audiences as Peluchin, and Gigi Mitre could not hide their disgust as they reviewed the exclusive recordings on air.
Gonzalez mocked the encounter during the live programme, telling viewers that Hart should be aware of where those hands had just been. The host raised a bottle of alcohol to demonstrate that Fajardo had carried nothing with him on the walk from the street to clean his hands.
Mitre expressed similar revulsion, remarking that watching the sequence made her feel so repulsed that she wanted to pour alcohol over her own hands immediately. She then quipped that Fajardo would probably follow the example of Peruvian model and actress Flavia Laos by claiming to suffer from a prostate problem to justify his actions.
Years together on Esto es Guerra
Fajardo is one of the most influential figures in Peruvian entertainment, working as the executive producer of Esto es Guerra on America Television. The competitive reality show has aired on the national network for years, dominating evening viewing figures with athletic contests, obstacle courses, and high-profile celebrity participants.
Hart spent several seasons as a key participant on the reality show, developing a close working relationship with Fajardo during production. Outside television, Hart is known across the country as an accomplished racing driver who has competed in major national motorsport championships.
The long professional history between the two men on the America Television set explains the familiarity and warmth displayed during their encounter. Even so, the unhygienic circumstances surrounding the greeting quickly became a central talking point on television.
Neither Fajardo nor Hart has made a public statement regarding the footage, the restaurant encounter, or the comments broadcast by the television presenters.
