The Argentine football legend, 59, started to choke after passing out drunk on a table on his birthday last year.
A video of the 1986 World Cup winner dancing with his trousers around his ankles went viral recently.
Fashion designer Gianinna told Argentine TV: “I don’t have to expose my dad. If I do it, it will be in front of a judge, so it can be done judicially.
“I don’t tell him not to drink alcohol anymore. But he doesn’t enjoy it.”
She added: “I want my dad to keep living.”
“I’m at the limit where I don’t have to expose my dad. If I do it, it will be in front of a judge, so it can be done judicially.”
“I would not mind having to show a judge photos and things from that day, but not on the television, to a judge.
“I don’t tell him not to drink alcohol anymore. But he doesn’t enjoy it.
That’s the point, not enjoying having a beer.”
In the video the veteran footballer dances with ex-girlfriend Veronica Ojeda.
Okeda said the video was recorded in Mexico “over a year ago,” adding that the leaking of the clip was “malicious”.
Maradona could be seen stumbling around the dancefloor in the home video, and the 1986 World Cup winner’s daughters have now had enough.
