Pilar Smith Reveals What Geraldine Mayer, Tomás Cataldi’s Mother, Told Her After the Complaint

11 July 2026

Following the strong reaction sparked by the videos published by Tomás Cataldi, in which he recounted alleged episodes of psychological abuse during his childhood and adolescence, Geraldine Mayer for the first time shared her side of the events.

The influencer, who in the last hours had closed her social networks and avoided making public statements, spoke privately with Pilar Smith, who shared part of that conversation this Friday on LAM.

“I spoke with her, she denied everything. I was friends with her when we were girls,” the journalist began recounting.

According to Smith, Mayer is going through a period of deep distress since the controversy erupted. “The truth is she was devastated. She lives in Miami, she doesn’t accept what her son said, she says it’s a lie”, the panelist stated.

According to Pilar’s testimony, Geraldine also explained to her that, for now, she prefers not to give public statements. “She was very distressed, she denied everything. She told me that she can’t say anything right now, that she will talk later,” she added.

During the conversation, Smith also provided information about Tomás’s current situation. She explained that the young man lived with his mother in Miami, but recently returned to Argentina. “This guy lives with her in Miami, now he has moved to Argentina to live with his grandmother and study at the university. Sad, very sad”, she noted.

Las declaraciones de Pilar Smith constituyen, hasta el momento, la única respuesta conocida de Geraldine Mayer luego de que su hijo de 20 años difundiera una serie de videos en redes sociales en los que relató situaciones de maltrato psicológico y físico que, según su versión, marcaron su infancia y adolescencia. En esos posteos, Tomás también contó que decidió mudarse a la casa de su abuela mientras intenta reorganizar su vida.

Por el momento, Geraldine Mayer no realizó declaraciones públicas ni emitió un comunicado oficial. Según lo que transmitió Pilar Smith, su intención es hablar más adelante, cuando considere que es el momento adecuado.
