Time to Read: 2 minute
The couple's 2022 was marked by the scandal caused by the publication that the then presenter of 'Despierta America' filed a lawsuit for domestic violence against the actress
Vanessa Lyon and Carlos Calderon lived a turbulent 2022, which included a visit to court, after he sued her for domestic violence in July, although they managed to resolve their differences and announced their reconciliation months later. However, in January of this year, Univision announced the dismissal of the host and many people speculated whether said scandal motivated that decision.
Given this, the Venezuelan model and actress spoke for the first time about said rumors in an interview with 'Mamas Latinas', in which he was asked if he believes that this situation affected the Mexican's career on television.“First, it would seem unfair to me because, after 25 years of career, where there has been no scandal, where it has been impeccable, it would seem very unfair for them to say, you know, that because of this situation... And aside from the fact that it was something involuntary, it was not something that we wanted to put, we tried in a thousand ways to stop that. But I personally think it could (affect), I don't know. It's very strange”, Vanessa replied.
Also, she deepens the feeling she has that it would be an unfair decision on the part of the company since she assures that she is not the only one who has been involved in similar situations and not all have been fired. “It could have been yes, but he is not the only person with scandals involved there, if it is going to be done, then it is even, right? So I don't know what to think, I don't know what version to think, ”she commented.
He also mentioned how difficult it was for him to leave Univision after many years. “It's very difficult because it took many years, it's not like he's a talent that's been there for 3 years or he was an extra on a couple of recordings, it's a long career. It was his house,” he said.
Will Carlos Calderon return to television soon?
Since he left the television station, Carlos Calderon has stayed away from the small screen and seems to be focused on enjoying his family, as well as growing his financial aid business for residents of the United States and Puerto Rico.
