This Thursday, viewers of Espejo Público, the morning show presented by Susanna Griso, witnessed a moment of maximum tension between two of her collaborators, Pilar Vidal and Carmen Lomana.

The Antena 3 program dealt with the topic of fatphobia in one of its blocks. After finishing the current affairs and events table, the presenter got up from the central table of the set to go to the other side of the set, where the social chronicle block was going to begin.

Before starting the section, the presenter confessed that a conflict had occurred in the content meeting minutes before it began. ”I’m already live and therefore I can’t attend it, but you have to tell me what happened,” the presenter said.

The journalist Gema López was in charge of updating Griso about the clash that had occurred between Pilar Vidal and Carmen Lomana. ”During the escaleta meeting, there was a difference of opinion between Pilar and Carmen Lomana regarding a current issue that you were discussing, which is fatphobia,” commented the employee.

”I have had no difference with anyone. I have only said my opinion. I think the least important thing is whether you are fat or not fat, it’s health,” said Carmen Lomana. ”She called me fat, let all of Spain know it. Mrs. Carmen Lomana, who has peace, love, super education, has called me fat,” Pilar Vidal asserted. ”I didn’t call you fat because I wasn’t referring to you,” Lomana said.

”You did it on purpose, everyone has seen it. Women your age can’t have your body. You don’t know behind each person who is overweight if there is a hormonal problem, derived from mental health or medication. So since you don’t know because you live in your science fiction world, you dedicate yourself to insulting”, declared Pilar Vidal. ”You are making value judgments without any sense. I have not insulted you. Do not lie. “I don’t come here to argue,” commented Carmen Lomana.

”Imagine if we had been talking about older people and he said, ‘Oh, forgive me, Carmen.’ “I’m not going to talk about… It’s a health problem and you insult people who are sick,” Vidal responded. ”I don’t think he made a direct attack on Pilar. She has given an opinion regarding fatphobia that sometimes excess fat is not healthy and then she has looked at Pilar and said “sorry”, in case at some point she could have felt offended. ‘, said Gloria Camila. ”The argument that Carmen was making was completely solid, without having to apologize to Pilar,” stated Joaquín Torres.

”I don’t like comments being made about my weight. There are people who do know me and know what my problem is. I have never been like this, I have had a problem, which I am not going to tell about here, the people who need to know know it, and I am finding a solution to it,” Pilar Vidal asserted. ”I only allow it to one person, and it hurts me a lot, my mother. She is the first one to tell me. To the rest, to no one, but because I’m not doing it. Not with the thin ones, nor with the fat ones, nor with the older or pretty ones. I can get involved with someone’s opinion, with someone’s act, but never with their physical appearance,” the journalist responded excitedly.
