The controversial interview on Canal Sur
Toñi Moreno, renowned television presenter, has been the subject of criticism due to an unfortunate comment made during an interview on her Canal Sur program. During the live connection, the communicator uttered an offensive phrase about the physical appearance of a guest, which generated a negative reaction from the public.
In her words, Toñi commented: “You have a filter on right now, right? Tell me the truth. You are much thinner. Or it will be the lentils with chorizo dishes that you have enjoyed.” The girl smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to react to the situation.
The impact on social networks
After the incident, Bella, the affected guest, shared a video on her social networks expressing her dissatisfaction with Toñi Moreno’s words. In the video, Ella Bella criticized the fact of giving an opinion about another person’s body and highlighted the importance of having empathy towards others.
“Throughout my life, I have struggled with depression and eating disorders. These comments are very damaging. Talking about another person’s physique says more about the person doing it than about the person affected. I hope the day comes when we think before speaking and let’s not focus so much on superficiality,” Bella denounced publicly.
Toñi Moreno’s apology
The presenter, after receiving multiple criticisms on social networks, decided to apologize publicly. On her “There was no bad intention.”
“I am the same person who defended a girl attacked for being overweight in the GM program,” added Toñi Moreno to highlight her commitment to empathy and tolerance towards all people.
