The recent controversy surrounding MasterChef has focused attention on Jordi Cruz, a well-known chef for his role as a jury on the program, who has generated an intense debate by questioning Tamara’s decision to voluntarily leave the competition, a decision that the Catalan did not like. he liked it at all.
His comments have provoked an avalanche of criticism on social networks, and therefore, the importance of mental health has been reinforced. Among them those of the prominent actor Tristán Ulloa, who has compared this episode with the departure of Verónica Forqué from the program, highlighting the lack of empathy on the part of the jury.
The actor was referring to the controversy that surrounded Forqué’s death, related to his state of mental health after participating in the sixth season of the VIP version of the TVE program.
Tamara decided to leave the program when she saw that she was surpassing her mental health: “Of course, but I feel very frustrated and I don’t feel like continuing in the same dynamic in which I am not well. Forgive me but it is more important to be well than to disappoint you. to you with all the love in the world. I am very sorry,” said the former contestant.
“Pepe is asking you questions. I wouldn’t ask you any. I would only say: well, very good, bye. Well, bye, his apron, his door,” Jordi Cruz responded with a serious face. A response that triggered a barrage of comments from the public and, like Tristán Ulloa, from several actors or even the Minister of Health, Mónica García.
The days continue, there is still no official statement from the organization. Media attention reflects a growing recognition of empathy and understanding in situations like these, highlighting the need for a more human approach in entertainment television.
