The dispute erupted when journalist Gonzalo Sotelo posted on X (formerly Twitter) alleging that Cardoso was upset after discovering names of models on an invitation list at their private residence in Funes Hill. Sotelo claimed Cardoso reacted with anger and tears, causing a disturbance among neighbors.

Di María took to Instagram to vehemently deny the allegations, calling the claims “made up” and an attempt to “defame people.” He further questioned Sotelo’s motives, asking who was instructing him and expressing disbelief at the journalist’s willingness to publicize the story.

Cardoso herself joined the fray, posting Sotelo’s phone number on Instagram and taunting him with a barrage of insults. “Want fame, little fool? You’ve bitten off more than you can chew,” she wrote. The post quickly went viral, prompting Sotelo to acknowledge the potential consequences of his actions.

Sotelo subsequently posted on Instagram that he would hold whoever leaked his number responsible if anything happened to him. The incident highlights the volatile intersection of social media, celebrity, and the spread of unverified information. The rapid response from Di María and Cardoso underscores the lengths to which public figures will go to protect their privacy and reputations.

This isn’t the first time the couple has faced unfounded rumors. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges of maintaining a private life in the age of instant digital dissemination.

The fallout from this exchange is likely to continue, raising further questions about journalistic ethics and the responsibility of online platforms in curbing the spread of misinformation.
