Toñi Moreno, who was the host of programs such as Entre todos on Spanish Television’s La 1, has been involved in a controversy over the treatment of an interviewee. “I went to talk about the videos I make about things I admire about Spain/Andalusia. And what I find is Toñi Moreno saying ‘tell me the truth, you use a filter, you are much thinner in the TikTok video, it must be because you have eaten a lot of lentils,’ said tiktoker Bella Vida Spain.
This incident took place last Wednesday during the broadcast of Canal Sur’s Today program, and has earned the communicator born in El Prat de Llobregat a barrage of criticism. However, it is not the first time that her comments during an interview cost her a controversial situation. A similar event occurred during his time at RTVE, which he revived after users rescued him in the middle of a hurricane.
It was precisely during one of the many installments of Entre todos, the citizen participation program that became popular thanks to its call to the audience on the set: “What do I have? Call!”. On one particular occasion, Moreno was interviewing a separated mother from Santiago de Compostela, who had raised five children alone and was looking for help for one of them. During the conversation, one comment stood out above the others: “When a person hits you…”.
A clear reference to situations of abuse that the affected person had experienced. However, Toñi Moreno’s reaction generated controversy at the time and also after this latest revelation on the networks: “We cannot say these things like that…When something like that happens, it is either reported or kept silent for the rest of the people. life”. Users who found this video soon left their opinions about it in the responses.
“The worst thing is no longer what he says (which is also true) but how he says it, with that paternalism as if he were talking to a 5-year-old girl. “How disgusting,” criticized one user. “And let’s not forget that before handing out medals to wonderful people, Toñi exposed the miseries of people who needed money in the worst years of the crisis. For putting on a face and dramatic music, he pocketed €175,000 a year on public TV,” added the original publisher.
Back to the Today controversy, the presenter issued an apology through her social networks. “Nothing could be further from my intention, Bella, to hurt you. The last thing I would have wanted in life is to cause the slightest bit of pain. I was unlucky. “I made a joke and over-braked,” she explained in a message posted on X (Twitter).
