Caracas, Venezuela – Venezuelan actor Jonathan Montenegro has vehemently denied allegations that he celebrated the recent loss of Daniela Alvarado’s baby, a claim that circulated widely on social media. The controversy arose from a post attributed to Montenegro on an Instagram account known as Notiktoxico, which reportedly expressed a lack of sympathy for Alvarado’s grief. Montenegro has publicly denounced the post as fabricated and defamatory, asserting his respect for his former co-star.
The situation unfolded after Alvarado announced the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Cordelia, after 22 weeks of pregnancy. The news prompted an outpouring of support for the actress, known for her role in the popular telenovela “Voltea pa’ que te enamores,” alongside Montenegro. However, the alleged post attributed to Montenegro quickly gained traction, sparking outrage among Alvarado’s fans and colleagues. The post, as reported by Meridiano, suggested that Alvarado was experiencing the pain of loss that Montenegro himself had previously endured with the loss of his daughter, Sophia.
Montenegro swiftly responded to the accusations via his own Instagram account, calling the claims “false” and “irresponsible.” He challenged the account responsible for the post, identified as being managed by Mervin Nuñez, to provide evidence of the statements. “I challenge you to publicly show in what space, platform or context I have written or said something of that nature,” Montenegro wrote, according to Diario El Regional del Zulia. “An affirmation of that caliber is not launched without support. It’s demonstrated. That has a name: defamation.”
The actor emphasized his respect for Alvarado, with whom he shared a professional relationship on “Voltea pa’ que te enamores.” He expressed his condolences, stating, “My respect and solidarity absolute for Daniela in such a painful situation. The silence, in this case, was not absence… it was respect.” Montenegro also vowed to take action against the spread of false information, declaring, “This will be the last time I allow my name to be used to construct falsehoods, and much less around something so sacred.”
The incident highlights the potential for misinformation and the rapid spread of unverified claims on social media, particularly in the context of sensitive personal tragedies. Montenegro’s swift and direct response appears aimed at clearing his name and protecting Alvarado from further emotional distress. The actor’s denial comes as Alvarado continues to grieve the loss of her daughter, a period marked by profound sadness and public mourning.
The account Notiktoxico, identified as being run by Mervin Nuñez, has not yet publicly responded to Montenegro’s accusations as of March 19, 2026. The situation remains fluid, with the possibility of further legal action or public statements from those involved. The focus, however, remains on supporting Daniela Alvarado during this tough time.
Montenegro’s firm stance against the fabricated claims underscores the importance of verifying information before sharing it online, especially when dealing with matters of personal loss and grief. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential harm caused by the spread of misinformation and the need for responsible social media practices.
