Mariana Nannis Says “I’m Not to Blame for Her Birth in San Martín

Mariana Nannis ignited a firestorm this week when she told the hosts of El Ejército de la Mañana that she is not to blame for her granddaughter’s birthplace, making the explosive claim: Yo no tengo la culpa si nació en San Martín. La cigüeña tira a cada uno donde nació. The remark, a direct reference to the San Martín neighborhood where her granddaughter’s mother, Melody Luz, is from, was made during a tense exchange on the Bondi Live program. https://www.infobae.com/teleshow/2026/11/05/la-repudiable-frase-de-mariana-nannis-a-su-nieta-yo-no-tengo-la-culpa-si-nacio-en-san-martin/

The heated exchange on Live television

The incident began when Santiago Riva Roy questioned Nannis about accusations from Melody Luz that she had acted with racism toward her. When pressed on the matter, Nannis deflects the accusation. Riva Roy then pushes back, stating: Estás mencionando el origen. Para vos es menos persona alguien que por nacer en San Martín que vivir en Barcelona. Nannis insists she did not intend that meaning, but the damage was done. Panelist Pepe Ochoa was unequivocal in his condemnation: Lo que dijo de San Martín es repudiable. The confrontation escalates until Nannis abruptly terminates the call, telling the hosts: Si sos team Melody, llamala a ella a donde esté viviendo… San Martín o no sé dónde.

Melody Luz’s Response

Melody Luz responded hours later on the program Storytime. Far from being flustered, she dismissed Nannis’s comments: Qué se puede esperar de un burro más que una patada. No me sorprende, no me afecta, por suerte. Luz also took aim at Nannis’s previous comments about her daughter Charlotte Caniggia, stating: Qué feo hablar así de tu hija. She was firm about her stance on her relationship with her mother-in-law, declaring: No voy a tener relación con ella, no me interesa. Y no me interesa que mi hija… tenga que conocerla. Nazarena Vélez added: Si habla así de la hija, qué podemos esperar que diga de vos. Luz was also careful but honest about the situation with Alex Caniggia, saying: Él no te lo va a decir. Pero es la mamá. Porque no está.

A defiant reclamation of identity

In a post on X, she wrote: Aguante San Martín, Chaca y Argentina. Soy orgullosamente de San Martín. She also recounted a gesture from the past, saying that after Nannis threw her out of an apartment while she was pregnant, she left her a bouquet of red roses with a card that read: Gracias, Mariana.
