Argentine journalist recounts Julio Iglesias' demands for interview

Journalist Verónica Albanese revealed the unusual conditions imposed on her 20 years ago to interview singer Julio Iglesias, including sitting on his lap.

Verónica Albanese, a well-known Argentine journalist, recently shared an anecdote from two decades ago related to her interview with legendary singer Julio Iglesias. According to her account, before conducting the interview, she was subjected to unusual demands, such as the requirement to sit on the artist's lap during the conversation.

This episode, which Albanese recalled in a public appearance, highlights the dynamics of the entertainment world at that time. The journalist described the conditions as surprising and unprofessional, though she did not provide further details on the interview's context or immediate reactions. Julio Iglesias, an iconic figure in Latin music, has not commented on the matter as of now.
