A dispute has erupted over the dismissal of Gonzalo Feito from the political program "Sin Filtros." Sebastián Eyzaguirre, an executive producer and former colleague of Feito's from "CQC," fired Feito. Feito alleges the dismissal stemmed from jealousy over his new streaming program, "Próceres," on Porcel TV, which he co-hosts with Pamela Le Roy.
Eyzaguirre, however, denies the dismissal is recent, stating a leaked audio recording of insults is from December 2023. He accused Feito of a "malicious act" to create a false narrative. Eyzaguirre clarified that while his company provides services to the production company behind "Sin Filtros," he does not have the authority to decide Feito's employment.
Eyzaguirre described Feito as a "bad bug, a bad person," recounting past conflicts dating back to their "CQC" days, including physical altercations. Feito has been replaced by Felipe Bianchi. This change precedes the launch of "Sin Filtros Mundial," a program focused on the Football World Cup, set to premiere on June 8.
