It is not a secret that Marta Riesco and Sálvame have not had the best of relationships in recent times. The reporter has had several confrontations with the La Fábrica de la Tele program because of how they have treated her because of her relationship with Antonio David Flores. Even more so since her public fight with Cristina Porta in one of her live shows, which earned her a “punishment” from Mediaset, which relegated her for “six months making photocopies” and without appearing on screen, finally being fired by her producer, Unicorn content.
For this reason, the reporter could not but be happy about the announcement of the end of the program and although she regrets that the team is left without work, she understands that “it is very sad to stop working on what you love.” Now, she sentences the presenters and collaborators.
“The only thing I did was fall in love and ask to be respected as a reporter,” she recalls, hurt, insisting that the program decided to “bust me.” The journalist remembers, above all, a day when the journalist Germán González came to look for her at her house, dressed as a clown: “I will never forget this day. The day of the greatest humiliation I have felt in my entire life,” she recalls. .
The reporter assures that she is glad that Sálvame ends. “And I just hope that with the help I continue to receive to this day, I will forgive what they did to me,” she wishes.
The reporter proceeds to recall other women who, in her opinion, have suffered the same “fate” as her, such as Isabel Pantoja, Alexia Rivas or Chayo Mohedano. “All those who were forced to take action against the most harmful format on television,” insists the journalist, who asks “to close when leaving and that the humiliations that were consented to in this program that, as of today, will never be repeated again rest in peace”.
As an auction, the reporter also had a few words for Jorge Javier Vázquez, whom she accuses of having “ridiculed” her and harassing her in reference to her physical appearance, among other things, on multiple occasions. The presenter has not appeared on television since May 18, on temporary leave due to a medical recommendation, apparently due to a mental health problem.
Something that Riesco has wanted to bring to light, comparing how she spent her leave precisely because of a similar problem. “She was on medication,” she says, “she vomited every day before going to work […] Now others have mental health leave and, unlike me, you do have to respect them.”
Marta Riesco also had time to throw another small dart at the program. Showing an image of the fight that she starred in with Cristina Porta on the fateful day that Mediaset would mark her fate forever, the reporter added a message: “Now we know what the new leadership of Sálvame thought.”
A fighter like never before, Riesco has several open fronts related to the chain. To begin with, she continues with her legal battle with Unicorn Content, which after failing to reach a conciliation and economic agreement last May, continues her course and will go to trial.
A judicial process of which the journalist has not made statements during these weeks “about the development of the judicial procedure to challenge the dismissal that will take place in the coming months” on the advice of her lawyers.
