Mauro Icardi has publicly attacked Benjamín Vicuña after the Chilean actor made remarks about being distant from his children, according to multiple Argentine outlets including Diario El Día de La Plata.
The exchange escalated over the weekend, with Icardi directing sharp criticism at Vicuña. Reports from Infobae quote Icardi as accusing Vicuña of playing the victim on television, while Ciudad Magazine says Icardi told the actor he should worry more about whether his own children want to see him.
The dispute appears to stem from comments Vicuña made about his relationship with his kids. TN reports that Icardi's response was swift and harsh, directly challenging the actor's public statements on the matter.
Vicuña, who has children from previous relationships, has not yet issued a public reply to Icardi's remarks, according to the coverage reviewed. However, Caras reported that Vicuña shared photos of himself celebrating Children's Day with his family shortly after the controversy broke, a move that some outlets interpreted as a subtle counter to Icardi's barbs.
The back-and-forth has drawn attention in Argentine entertainment circles, where both figures are well known. Icardi, a professional footballer, and Vicuña, an actor, have no known professional connection, making the public clash notable.
Neither party has indicated whether this will escalate further. Observers will be watching to see if Vicuña responds directly to Icardi's comments or lets the matter fade.
