“They don’t like what I talk about on reality TV”: Alicia Machado and the controversial statements that left her out of Telemundo

This 2023 was the year of layoffs at Telemundo, where famous names such as Alix Aspe, Héctor Sandarti, Adamari López and Chiquibaby ceased to be part of the ranks of the Hispanic network, a list to which the name of author Alicia Machado has now been added.

The nice Venezuelan made it known with a video, in which she also assured that she lost her job because she talked about the beatings and death threats she received from her ex José Manuel Figueroa, the son of singer Joan Sebastián, reports El Diario.

Alicia Machado and the termination of Telemundo

The statements were made in early September, during his participation in the reality show “Secretos de las indomables”, where he described the Mexican actor as a “sexist” and a “psychopath”, who shortly after responded to these criticisms, published by Telemundo.

“The threat of death comes the other way around,” explained the 48-year-old in the “Sale el sol” show, where he explained that Alicia Machado suffered from strong attacks of jealousy and that on one occasion she even threatened him with a knife.

“It doesn’t seem fair to me that they are using me to sell a reality show and create this controversy so that all the media turn around and start watching the television program,” explained José Manuel, according to People en Español magazine.

Influence on the Venezuelan

Apart from what happened in relation to both celebrities, the only truth is that the former Miss Universe 1996 will no longer be part of the Telemundo program, a shocking news that even made her cry in her video.
