The changes in Mediaset España since the departure of Paolo Vasile at the end of the year are more than evident. One of the most notorious is the chain’s new code of ethics, by which no presenter or commentator can comment on politics, unless it is in a program dedicated to it, or mention according to what celebrities.
The latter, in the case of Sálvame, is the most complicated, because there are certain characters that appear constantly. This is the case of Kiko Rivera, whom Belén Esteban kept naming this Wednesday while Jorge Javier Vázquez tried to silence her by all means in a hilarious live moment.
The black list of celebrities who cannot be mentioned in Mediaset España due to its new ethical code is extensive. Among them are Rocío Carrasco, Fidel Albiac, Antonio David, Rocío Flores, Olga Moreno, Marta Riesco, Gloria Camila, José Fernando, Ortega Cano, Rosa Benito, Rosario Mohedano or Kiko Rivera, among others.
However, it was the name of Isabel Pantoja’s son that could cause problems for Belén Esteban after her statements this Tuesday in Sálvame. Some comments that ended in a most comical situation, thanks to the intervention of Jorge Javier Vázquez.
It all started during the debate that the program did about whether Anabel Pantoja and Pinocchio were really brothers. Here, Belén Esteban, a great friend of the tonadillera’s niece, came out in defense of the influencer and put a bombshell on the table: “Why don’t we talk about Pinocchio selling Kiko Rivera?”
The second, Jorge Javier was heard correcting his partner with: “To Isa P’s brother.” Because, as we said, naming Kiko Rivera in Mediaset is prohibited according to the new rules of the chain. Even so, the one from Paracuellos ignored the presenter’s note, and insisted on naming the DJ with his first and last name. “To Kiko Rivera”, she released her. “To Isa P’s brother”, the Catalan interrupted him again.
“Let me finish! George, can I finish? If I don’t shut up, okay? No, no, Kiko Rivera, not the brother of Isa P. ”, Belén insisted without noticing his blunder. And she, fed up with being interrupted, said: “Okay, you guys talk. Come on, girl, what happened. That I am not Anabel Pantoja”.
Then, Jorge Javier tried to get his partner out of her mistake, but Belén turned a deaf ear, got up from her chair to leave the set and blurted out “nothing, I’m going to take my ass.” Next, the presenter came out behind her, took her arm and whispered to her: “You can’t say that… Isa P’s brother.”
The scuffle between the two generated a most comical situation live. “Oh, you hurt me, you’re going to break my arm, I don’t care,” Belén blurted out while Jorge Javier tried to make her come to her senses and not leave the set. “Really not. That I am not Anabel Pantoja, that I am her friend, okay? ”, He was addressing the program director David Valldeperas at that time.
Finally, the one from Paracuellos realized her mistake and named Kiko Rivera again, this time as “Isa P.’s brother”, which drew applause and cheers from both the public and her colleagues.
In fact, every time Belén said “Isa P’s brother,” Jorge Javier encouraged her to applaud again. Even the Catalan ended up telling him that to continue talking about the subject “first I’m going to have to teach you a game called Taboo, because if we don’t we can’t continue”.
But that only annoyed Belén: “I’m getting angry, I’m serious, huh?” What gave rise to
