Peruvian podcaster and streamer Victor Caballero, publicly known as Curwen, addressed television presenter Magaly Medina during his online show on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, confronting her over her past imprisonment for defamation after she broadcast footage of his fiancee kissing another man.
The footage aired by Medina showed Carla Campos kissing another man, leading Caballero to confirm the cancellation of his upcoming wedding. Following the disclosure, Caballero publicly asked viewers to direct any criticism toward him rather than Campos.
Defamation Claims And Prison Reminders
Speaking for several minutes on his political commentary podcast, Brutalidad Politica, Caballero responded to allegations Medina made on her television program, where she claimed he routinely speaks ill of others and spreads unverified information.
Caballero rejected Medina's characterization, stating that unlike her, he has never been convicted of defamation. He noted that while he receives numerous notarized legal notices, he is not currently under any official investigation.
During the broadcast, Caballero recalled Medina's 2008 incarceration at Santa Monica women's prison in Lima, which resulted from a high-profile defamation lawsuit filed by Peruvian professional footballer Paolo Guerrero. He stated that while Medina was serving her prison sentence in 2008, he was living at home dressed in emo fashion.
Medina is a veteran Peruvian television host known for hosting celebrity gossip programs, while Santa Monica prison, located in the Chorrillos district of Lima, is Peru's primary correctional facility for women.
Questions Regarding Supreme Prosecutor File
Caballero also raised questions regarding a legal investigation involving former Superior Court president Maria Delfina Vidal La Rosa Sanchez, whom he referred to in connection with judge Chibolina. He alleged potential links between the magistrate, public figure Andres Hurtado, and Medina regarding a case involving former professional footballer Jefferson Farfan.
The streamer noted that on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, he posted an Instagram story challenging Medina to address ten specific questions regarding case file 364-2024 from the Second Supreme Prosecutor's Office.
Caballero asked Medina whether she would post a response clarifying the contents of the prosecutor file, questioning why Maria Delfina Vidal La Rosa Sanchez is listed as an investigated party and asking Medina to explain her connection to Hurtado, commonly known as Chibolin.
Hurtado is a prominent Peruvian television personality and public figure, while Farfan is a retired Peruvian national team footballer who has previously been involved in high-profile legal disputes in the country.
Caballero indicated that he is awaiting public clarification from Medina on social media regarding the ten points outlined in his questionnaire.
