Alejandra Jaramillo fired from Univision. In the end, her actions had consequences. After spending several years as one of the panelists on Univision’s afternoon entertainment show ¡Siéntese quien pueda!, Alejandra Jaramillo is no longer part of the program’s regular cast.
The unexpected news was confirmed live on air, leaving thousands of viewers stunned as they followed the Ecuadorian TV personality’s career in the United States.
The official announcement was made by the show’s main host, Jorge Bernal. During the broadcast, Bernal addressed viewers directly to formally announce the cast change and offer farewell remarks to his former co-host.
“We want to share with you that Alejandra Jaramillo is no longer part of the regular cast of ¡Siéntese quien pueda!,” Bernal announced.

The host continued:
“We thank her for her dedication, her talent, and all the moments she shared with this team, and especially with all of you, our audience.

Although the show’s production team and Jorge Bernal chose not to disclose the exact reasons behind the Ecuadorian presenter’s departure, the circumstances have become an open secret across social media.
Jaramillo recently found herself at the center of controversy after sharing an enthusiastic social media post celebrating England’s victory over Mexico during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Her jubilant reaction was poorly received by many members of the Mexican community. A large number of viewers and social media users interpreted her comments as a deliberate mockery of Mexico’s national team and its supporters.
Within hours, the controversy escalated dramatically, triggering a widespread online campaign demanding her immediate removal from Univision.
Although Jaramillo later posted a public apology on Instagram, insisting that “there was never any intention to offend” and that her reaction reflected nothing more than passion for the sport, the backlash did not subside.
As of the time of publication, the television personality had not issued any additional statements regarding the specific terms of her departure.

As expected, the show’s comment section quickly turned into a battleground of divided opinions, with some applauding Univision’s decision while others accused the network of censorship.
On one side, many Mexican viewers immediately praised the company’s decision, arguing that media personalities should demonstrate cultural respect and professional responsibility. User @love_pink_16_ commented that a communicator must act responsibly because their words and actions influence others.
Similarly, user @jazzmin39 proudly declared that this proves no one should mess with Mexico, while @soymeminpinguin wrote that Mexico never forgives—and neither does the internet—calling the dismissal the right decision by the show’s producers.
On the other hand, many Ecuadorian supporters and fans of Jaramillo strongly criticized the network and launched an online boycott campaign. User @mecherodriguezparraga urged fellow Ecuadorians to unfollow the page and stop consuming any content related to Univision.
Likewise, @ceciliia_jiron described the dismissal as unfair and absurd simply because Jaramillo expressed an opinion about a football match. User @yelenaruiz_12 also lamented the decision, saying the program had lost a loyal viewer and that the real losers were those letting go of Alejandra’s remarkable talent.
