The conflictive history between Alex Brocca, a renowned Peruvian dancer, and Ernesto Pimentel, an emblematic figure of Peruvian television, intensified with a desperate request from Brocca. In June 1999, the artist was facing serious health problems and an imminent trial that could further deteriorate his condition. During a television interview, Brocca, his voice breaking, implored Pimentel to reconsider his decision to put him on trial and stressed the seriousness of his condition and his desire for peace and recovery.
The tension between both characters dates back to accusations made by Brocca in his book 'Canto de dolor', where he described Pimentel as a 'television monster'. This statement caused Pimentel, known for his character Chola Chabuca, to take legal action against Brocca, alleging defamation. In his public appeal, Brocca expressed gratitude to the media for the opportunity to clear his name, asked Pimentel for leniency, and highlighted the social work he could do instead of continuing litigation.

That is why I ask Mr. Pimentel to think carefully before suing me. Let him start helping people who really need it from his foundation,” Brocca stated in the June 4, 1999 interview.

“It is a story that has no good or bad, opening a wound is an opportunity to celebrate life saying that every minute is worth it, that every moment must be celebrated. We must all be the best person we can,” added Ernesto.
