“A little sad”. This is how Pablo Motos describes the entire controversy generated by his interview with Sofía Vergara in El Hormiguero.

A controversial interview that the Valencian has been trying to clarify for more than a week, ensuring that everything was agreed between him and the actress, but many have tried to see beyond the “tension” that existed between the two, generating a multitude of headlines.
This is precisely what Pablo Motos wanted to criticize several days after the interview, ensuring that something that “has never happened” – the alleged confrontation between the two with the actress “humiliating” him live – has generated so much news around the world. .
“I was the last one who found out about the negative headlines. It’s all a bit sad,” the presenter said in statements to Europa Press. insisting that everything caught him by surprise, since he considered that it had been a very fun program and had had a great audience.

Although the controversy has been very good for the program “because it increases the audience,” he clarifies that it is not good for the industry. “This is not healthy for anyone in the profession.”
“We had a great time. You just have to watch the show, we’re having a great time. The audience laughs. There’s no doubt about it. I’m afraid that a person will be caught in a lie and remain a liar forever.” .
Sofía Vergara herself wanted to clarify the situation, and she was clear, agreeing with the presenter. “The interview with Pablo was like friends, they told me ‘to make it funny, mess with him’. I mean, there is no problem, I don’t have any problem with him, I adore him, I love his program. We were taking the time hair between the two.”
The actress assured that nothing that was said was with bad intentions: “I love him very much,” she stated, thus ending the controversy.
