Alejandra Jaramillo leaves the regular cast of '¡Siéntese quien pueda!'. We thank her for her dedication, talent, and all the moments she shared with this team and, above all, with you, our audience.

Jaramillo's exit comes after a controversy erupted over her comments during the 2026 World Cup. She celebrated Mexico's 3-2 loss to England and shared mocking messages on social media. Although she later deleted the posts and apologized, calling them a mistake and emphasizing her love and respect for Mexico, the controversy persisted on social media, with users demanding her dismissal.

They couldn't even with one less player. Not with the 11 minutes of extra time. Not by going to the hotel again to shout. Bye. Bye, bye. Sayonara. Arrivederci.

She explained that she had received taunts from some users when Mexico defeated Ecuador in a prior match and decided to embrace the spirit of sports rivalry. Jaramillo stated that her intention was to continue with the same passion but acknowledged that "everything got a little out of control and could be misinterpreted." She concluded by asserting that her comments were never meant to offend Mexico or its people, emphasizing that there was "never an offense, an insult, or mistreatment towards anyone from Mexico as a nation, towards Mexico as a country."

Mexico is a country that I deeply love and respect, I have Mexican friends.
