- Mexican journalist Rubí Molina demands respect.
- Controversy divides social media.
- Viewers call for her removal from Univision.
The controversy involving Alejandra Jaramillo and her mockery of Mexico has escalated beyond social media after the Ecuadorian television host’s recent mockery of Mexican fans following the national team’s elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup sparked widespread outrage.
This time, the person who directly confronted Jaramillo was Rubí Molina, the well-known Mexican correspondent for En Casa con Telemundo.
Through a strong and direct message posted on her social media platforms, Molina held nothing back as she defended her fellow Mexicans, stating emphatically that no one has the right to disrespect either her people or the country that has opened its doors to them in the international entertainment industry.

The Mexican journalist did not mince words and delivered a blunt message to the entertainment industry that quickly gained traction across social media:
«What that Univision host is showing is what many people in the United States feel toward Mexicans. So Mexican artists, the next time you hire people or give interviews to certain individuals, think twice about whether they’re using you while despising you. We are an unstoppable force. No one should insult us. Long live Mexico.»
Molina’s remarks immediately fueled online debate because they publicly questioned what many viewed as Alejandra Jaramillo’s lack of professionalism and sensitivity. Jaramillo, widely known as «La Caramelo,» currently works for Univision, a network whose primary audience and financial support come largely from the Mexican community.
The Public Joins the Criticism: «They Make a Living Because of Us»
Rubí Molina’s position was met with overwhelming support from social media users, who quickly flooded various platforms with comments such as:
«That’s right, Rubí. They want to speak badly about Mexico, yet they make a living because of us.»
Hundreds of users emphasized that their outrage toward Jaramillo is not based on her legitimate right to support any team during the World Cup, but rather on what they described as the malice, sarcasm, and alleged xenophobic attitude she displayed by using Mexican national symbols to mock the disappointment felt by Mexican supporters.
Viewers also pointed out what they see as a contradiction in Jaramillo’s behavior, arguing that she cannot openly show contempt toward a country while simultaneously earning a salary from a Spanish-language television network largely supported by the Mexican community in the United States.

The Alejandra Jaramillo controversy has now reached a critical point, with Mexican audiences launching a formal boycott campaign demanding that TelevisaUnivision executives immediately dismiss the host of ¡Siéntese Quien Pueda!
Using hashtags and thousands of direct mentions on the company’s official social media accounts, viewers have vowed to stop watching any program featuring Jaramillo, with many repeating the phrase:
«She forgot that Mexico destroys careers.»
Although many Ecuadorian supporters have defended her by citing freedom of expression, public dissatisfaction continues to grow, and the mounting media pressure has placed Alejandra Jaramillo’s professional future under increasing scrutiny.
