Tilsa Lozano has denied personally summoning Milett Figueroa to join Las Vengadoras, the Peruvian entertainment group she led starting in 2012, saying in her podcast “Tres al hilo” that she never wrote to, called, or sought out Figueroa — though she left open the possibility that her mother, the group’s manager, or organizer Zorro Zupe may have approached her, planeta.pe reported.
Who Said What About the Alleged Offer
The dispute began after Figueroa said in a streaming program that Lozano had offered her a spot in Las Vengadoras years ago and that she turned it down. Lozano answered on her podcast, according to karibena.pe: “Really, I never wrote to her, I never summoned her. As far as I remember, no.” She said that when Giselle Patrón left the trio, the group was indeed running a casting process, but she was not the one contacting models directly. “The one who was the group’s manager was my mom and another person who organized was Zorro Zupe,” she said. “I don’t remember Tilsa Lozano calling, looking for, or writing to her, but if Zorro did it at the time or my mom, then yes, there could have been the possibility.”
Where the Two Accounts Diverge
The two women agree only on the broad strokes: Figueroa says she was offered a place and declined; Lozano says she never made that offer herself. What Lozano does confirm is that Figueroa’s name could have appeared on a list of candidates compiled by others around the group. The outlets’ reports differ in emphasis — planeta.pe frames Lozano’s comments as a direct rebuttal with sharp personal remarks, while karibena.pe details the mechanics of who handled casting — but both attribute the denial itself to Lozano’s podcast appearance.
What Lozano Said About Figueroa’s Fit for the Group
Lozano did concede that Figueroa matched the physical profile the group sought — tall, attractive, and comfortable on camera. “I’ve always said: what Milett has going for her best is that she’s pretty, and that’s where my positive things end,” she said, per planeta.pe. “I think she did fit the profile of a girl who could be with Las Vengadoras.”
She also recalled past clashes from when both were rising in Peru’s entertainment programs. Figueroa, she said, once called her old and said she should retire. “What I do remember is that Milett at one point said I was old, that I had to retire,” Lozano said. “So it seems a little strange to me that I would have authorized her to be there, unless that was before Milett came out saying all those things about me.”
Lozano also suggested Figueroa’s early media appearances were built on talking about her, the same “easy way in” used by other figures like Shirley Arica and Giannina Luján to win headlines, karibena.pe reported.
Why This Matters Now
Las Vengadoras became one of the most popular groups in Peruvian show business after forming in 2012 with Lozano, Maricris Rubio, and Giselle Patrón, later adding Jazmín Pinedo and Fiorella Flores, karibena.pe noted. The renewed exchange lands as Figueroa — now the partner of television host Marcelo Tinelli — remains a fixture in Peruvian entertainment coverage, keeping the decade-old group in the news.
Questions Readers Still Ask
Did Milett Figueroa ever receive a formal offer from Las Vengadoras?
Figueroa says yes and that she rejected it; Lozano says she personally never extended one. Whether Lozano’s mother or Zorro Zupe made contact remains unconfirmed, and karibena.pe reports Lozano left that possibility open.
Who ran the casting for Las Vengadoras?
According to Lozano’s podcast account reported by karibena.pe, her mother served as the group’s manager and Zorro Zupe handled organization, while Lozano herself was not the one contacting candidates directly.
When did Las Vengadoras form and who was in it?
The group was created in 2012 with Tilsa Lozano, Maricris Rubio, and Giselle Patrón, and later expanded to include Jazmín Pinedo and Fiorella Flores, karibena.pe reported.
“Then it seems a little strange to me that I would have authorized her to be there,” Lozano said of the idea that she approved Figueroa’s inclusion after the remarks about her age.
