Carlota Corredera was one of the many figures who passed through Sálvame throughout its fourteen years of history. The communicator, who now has her own space with the podcast Mujeres que mandan, left the program presented by Jorge Javier Vázquez “with her head held high”, according to her words. Once out of Mediaset, she focused on helping her husband with her production company and developing her own projects. She now returns to talk about an experience that she described as “bittersweet.”
In an interview for El País, Corredera opened up about his departure from the Fuencarral network, pointing out those responsible and reasons, in addition to speaking at length about his work within the walls of Telecinco. In addition to that, the presenter also had the opportunity to present her vision of the drop in Mediaset’s audience, something that she pointed out in the loss of an important program, essential for the chain, which has caused a dropper decline.
“I have thought many times what would have happened if I had not started presenting that September of 2015. I went from being an anonymous person to another well-known one. For what you say, what you do, what you get fat to become a headline. I have learned to digest it thanks to therapy and my environment, but I cannot regret something that I have voluntarily chosen, of having been able to speak in prime time about gender-based violence and feminism, although it has cost me my position at Mediaset and on TV,” she said.
Corredera made reference to his participation in the preparation of Rocío. Tell the truth to stay alive. The host considered that she had been very blunt for that realization about Rocío Carrasco, and that it was finally the focus of the chapters of the docuseries that ended up costing her the position. Despite this, she assured that perhaps it was she who did not fit into the measures imposed by Mediaset, in which subjects such as politics could not be discussed.
“I know what happened and why I’m not there, but you have to ask Mediaset about that. Perhaps I am the first piece that does not fit into what is called the Code of Ethics. (…) I don’t know if there should be an opinion on politics, but what should be done with a gender perspective, emphatically yes. Entertainment has the same social responsibility as news. The messages we send about the bodies, about relationships, the approaches in the interviews… ”, he inquired about it.
In the same way, Corredera believes that Mediaset’s audience problem lies in the loss of Pasapalabra: “We managed the program badly. We had very important information to transmit, and it was treated as a matter of the heart when it was not. We should have let only the experts speak, because in something like that there can be no sides. Human rights are not questioned. But what really lowered Telecinco’s audiences was stopping broadcasting Pasapalabra.”
