Trigger of the controversy
In the vibrant world of television, conflicts between presenters are always a cause of interest. The most recent involves Santi Acosta, who could break all relations with María Patiño due to his comments on the program ¡De Viernes!. This situation has generated a wave of speculation and comments in the television field.
Santi Acosta’s career
Santi Acosta is a veteran in the television world, having earned the respect of the public over the years. The presenter has worked on numerous social analysis and criticism programs, always standing out for his direct and clear style when addressing topics.
Profile of María Patiño
On the other hand, María Patiño is an emblematic figure in the universe of the tabloid press. Known for her frontal and passionate approach, she has been the face of many successful shows such as Sálvame and, currently, Ni que fuerámos. Her ability to unravel her most controversial stories has made her one of the most influential and discussed presenters.
Controversial statements by Santi Acosta
The conflict between both presenters arose when Santi Acosta expressed his desire to separate the content of ¡De Viernes! than the one offered by Sálvame. In his Telecinco program, Acosta highlighted that they sought to create a ‘whiter’ television without the ‘excesses’ that were seen daily in Sálvame. He wanted to make a clear differentiation between both programs.
According to Acosta, Friday! aims to offer lighter and less sensationalist content, characteristics that he considers necessary in the current television landscape. The presenter firmly believes in the proposal of his program, although he recognizes that there are different ways of making television.
María Patiño’s reaction to the statements
Santi Acosta’s statements were not well received by María Patiño. During her program Ni que fueramos, she took the opportunity to express herself openly about what Acosta said, harshly criticizing him and calling him a hypocrite.
Patiño argued that, although ¡De Viernes! boasts of being a kinder and less scandalous program, in reality it continues to use the same tactics as Sálvame to attract the audience. In his opinion, all tabloid programs are dedicated to the same thing: talking about the lives of famous people, even if they do it in different ways.
Uncertain future in the relationship between presenters
Finally, María Patiño suggested that Acosta’s statements could be a strategy to justify the low ratings of ¡De Viernes!.
There is no doubt that these words will not have gone down well with Santi Acosta. Everything indicates that both presenters will not speak to each other in the near future, although there is always the possibility of a new series of controversial statements emerging.
