“There was always talk that Tonka Tomicic and Leonardo Farkas distanced themselves for money … They lie,” says Claudia Schmitd. Because the show commentator reported the truth of the breakdown of friendship between the millionaire and the cheerleader and her then husband, Parived. And Claudia knows what he’s talking about, since she is married to John Bogdan, a great friend of Farkas and her lady, Betina Friedman.
Schmitd’s closeness with the Mining Magnate and his wife began to set in 2017, when the member of the group of top models that reigned in Chile in the 2000 worked in the SQP show program. Then, during a Farkas participation in SQP, he saw her in the panel and, surprisingly, without knowing her, he invited her to her birthday.
It was a great party in Miami in which Leonardo and Bettina together held their five decades. In the middle of the event, Schmitd met John, one of the best friends of the hosts.
There was a arrow between the Uruguayan based in Chile and Bogdan. Soon commitment and wedding ring. In 2018 Schmitd, mother of two children of her first marriage, followed her husband to Florida. There they formed a home and in 2023 she returned to Santiago without John.
Now, invited to the Danilo 21 influencer podcast, the commentator delivered the version that Leonardo and Bettina told him about the end of friendship with Tonka and Parined. Farkas and Friedman lived years of affection and support with Tomicic and Marco Antonio López, who invited trips around the world and paid their marriage in Jerusalem, in 2014.
However, in 2016 everything collapsed. And now the express show panelist:
«The distancing was due to the lack of respect of Tonka Tomicic and Parined with Mrs. de Leonardo Farkas … and that no one comes to deny me, because I know it from the mouth of each of the members on the side of Leonardo Farkas.
«I’m going to give an example: I invite you (on a trip) because I am a woman with a lot of money and I am left over to give the people I want. And I’m going to buy gifts for my guests. And I am buying a Louis Vuitton handkerchief, trying to entertain my guests.
«Meanwhile, my guests sit at a table and ask for a bottle of Dom Perignon and a plate of pasta. And when I arrive, my husband tells them ‘please, you can give that dish to my lady’, and my guests answer ‘no!’, Because they asked him first …
«They fought because you realized the attitude of the people you are inviting with absolutely all paid. And when I arrive, I ask and tell you ‘No!’ What are you doing? The problem was ‘(actually) Who am I?’
«If people who delayed for being buying gifts for you arrive at the table and ask you to pass your dish because they are arriving (tired, hungry) and you answer ‘no!’ … until there came … here there is no money in between. If I know what was for that situation, for something such a bad class ».
