Carmen Dominicci Opens Up on Al Rojo Vivo
Carmen Dominicci is not going away quietly.
She spoke on Telemundo’s Al Rojo Vivo about the altercation she had with then husband Fernando Del Rincon in the Dominican Republic. She said:
“There were many things that were said that are not true. It was taken out of hand, they were even saying that he kicked me. That is not true, but it is true that he hurt me, that he grabbed me by my neck, that he was almost choking me. I asked him to let me go and that he was hurting me. That’s when he yelled at me and said ‘there, you got what you want, you turned me into Osvaldo Rios, congratulations, you did it.’”
Ooooooooh! If you didn’t know, Carmen was married to Osvaldo who was also accused of hitting her.
She took the opportunity during the interview to take a jab at Univision execs.
Carmen says that they did not support her at all and only reminded her that there was a clause in her contract that signified that she could not speak negatively about another Univision coworker.

Mija#1= You’re an ignorant. That comment of one of THOSE women that will push buttoms is absurd and sad if you’re really a woman. All marriages have arguments and fights, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to push a woman, hit her head against the wall and grabbed her by the neck.
About Osvaldo, I remember when they were already divorced, he came to her apartment and broke the door open, pull the telephone from the wall and threw it out of the balcony of her condo. I’m not making this up, the security guard and the neighbors came to help her.
Some men just can’t control themselves when they are angry. If yoy pleased them and do what they say they are very nice, but if not they resort to violence.

I find it incredibly disturbing to hear some of the comments made by people who think that she is the type of women that drives a man into abuse, that she intentionally provokes them . I think people need to realize that even if she were a problematic person that can really infuriate you, Fernando is a grown man and has the oblgation to control his fury and not put a hand of her. No one is saying that he is not entitled to get angry, but when it gets to the point where you’re so enraged that you want to hit someone, leave the room or hit an object that is not a person. We are not animals, we have the capacity to rationalize and be sensible. There is no excuse for what Fernando did and he needs to get a hold on his drinking habit because it has already affected his personal life. His professional life will be affected next if he continues to drink excessively. That’s if Univision actually does it’s job and fires people that don’t deserve their job there. I’m so dissapointed with Univison that I’ve decided I will not watch that channel anymore. I grew up watching my mom being abused and I despise abuse, and that Univision is taking Fernando’s side is just disgusting to me.

First,sorry for the double posting, La Verdad And Wallflower22 I agree with both of you on your points about this…
As for Univision, consider them “Network non grata !” as far as i am concerned!
Personally I wish Carmen good luck in her future endevours and that she find someone who is TOTALLY worthy of her heart, there are many TRUE men who are kind of heart and soul who would love to capture her heart…

Hola Mija#1
Your comments are sick. I would like to see you under the same circumstances and hear people defending the drunk that hit you.
Domestic violence and machismo still exist in our culture because of women like you, that accept it, teach it to their children and even defend actions like Fernando Del Rincon.

It doesn’t matter who did what in that relationship. It didn’t work out, which is sad. I am now going to take it from the stand point of the business side. Fernando and Carmen were adults who decided to get married. It is not the networks business to jump in when something goes bad. You kind of know what your getting into if you marry a co-worker and it goes sour.
It’s sad Carmen career was affected by this but it wasn’t the networks fault when you know what your signing in the first place. It wasn’t secret. That is why they say don’t marry a co-worker. The network didn’t want any part of their separation. When Carmen moves forward if she did not already with her life she will land on her feet just fine. And who knows what is in the future for her, it maybe better than anyone thought.

I just watched Carmen interview with Al Rojo Vivo boy what a time for the station to be having technical problems. But for want I saw and her no man has a right to abuse a women no matter who they are. At one time I had a admiration for Fernando but that’s all changed it was disappointing to hear of his so call machismo so sad. Carmen good for her she has the right to defend herself and speak up she kept quite for too long and for what so they could do with her whatever fire her from her job. This put a dapper for me to watch any of Fernando’s show. Goodby Fernando. Hello Carmen You go girl!!!! Please stand up for women that are going thru the same problems their need to hear this.

What a bastard,and I agree with everyone on hear who says that a woman cannot provoke a guy to hit her.I know from experience from having a abusive a**hole of a father,that this can be very scarring. From what I’ve seen he doesnt even seem to be ashamed,he even has a new girlfriend. If you had seen them on the Christina show together,it was funny you could tell that her teenage son HATED HIM. She is to pretty for him anyways,and how horrible was it for him to bring up osvaldo. Just imagine what he would have done to hear if she stayed,they havent been married this long,and it was already at this point.

OK, FIRST OF ALL, I NEVER SD IT WAS OK FOR A MAN TO HIT A WOMAN, EVER. I DO GIVE IT TO HER THAT SHE ACTUALLY LEFT HIM RIGHT AFTER THIS HAPPENED BUT HOW COULD SHE HAVE NOT SEEN ‘THIS SIDE’ OF HIM BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED? IF HER SON DIDNT LIKE HIM, SHE SOULD HAVE LOOKED INTO IT. THERE ARE HOWEVER WOMEN WHO LIKE I SAID, KNOW WHAT BUTTONS TO PUSH B/C THEY CAN GET AWAY W/IT BY CALLING THE COPS. I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO MY HIGHSCHOOL SWEETHEART GOING ON 12 YRS NEXT MONTH & I HAVE NEVER BEEN HIT. THE DAY MY HUSBAND LAYS A HAND ON ME WILL BE THE LAST DAY WE SPEND TOGETHER & HE KNOWS IT. IT IS UNFAIR TO BLAME UNIVISION B/C LIKE SOMEONE ELSE SD, THEY’RE BOTH ADULTS & THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH OUTSIDE OF THEIR WORK. OH, & SOMEONE SD THAT PPL LIKE ME TEACH IT TO OUR CHILDREN. MY SON IS ONLY 11 BUT HE ALREADY KNOWS THAT IF HE EVER ENCOUNTERS ONE OF ‘THESE WOMEN’ TO LEAVE, WALK AWAY & HE UNDERSTANDS THAT. I DON’T BLIND MYSELF JUST B/C I’M A WOMEN THINKING THAT WOMEN SHOULD BE WORSHIPED. YOU GIVE RESPECT TO GET RESPECT!

it’s funny that no one has asked why did Fernando hold Carmen down. The reason is because SHE was getting violent with him first, like she has done on many other occassions when SHE drinks too. And for the record, they were BOTH drunk that night, not just Fernando. But it’s funny that she doesn’t mention that. SHE was hitting him and he tried to restrain her. AND, she fell and hit her head from being intoxicated- yes, during the fight but he didn’t slam it against the wall. Did he have to grab her? No. So I do agree with Wallflower22, that he should have just walked away. No matter how physical she got with him, he shouldn’t have responded that way. But Carmen is no saint. For all that know her (I’m assuming La Verdad, you’re one of them). You know she is very revengeful and abusive, ESPECIALLY when she drinks. So I thought it was very uncanny of her to start knocking on his character which just goes to show that she is trying to get revenege more than anything. She thought she could ruin his professional career. She just might have…we will wait and see bc of people being everything they hear and that there’s only one side of the story. But it’s one thing to press charges if someone abuses you. It’s another to start telling all the gossip magazine and radio shows before you do anything legal about your situation. Univision cannot keep you from taking legal action, if it’s against a talent or not. But again, Fernando never hit her AND by no means, am I agreeing with him grabbing with her either. But she definitley started leaking the story more so for revenge than anything and that is clear. Look- what I’m saying is that I’m against any type of violence, so I do not agree with any of it. But that means, that I’m also against women being able be violent against men, hit them over and over again, and when they try to subtain you, then come out and claim the only victim. There are two victims in this turn of events.

I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR BUT I WAS TRYING TO SAY THE SAME THING AS TRUTH. I SAY THIS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, THERE ARE WOMEN WHO THINK THEY CAN KICK, SLAP, PUSH & SCREAM AT THEIR MEN BUT WHEN IT TURNS ON THEM, THEY SCREAM BLOODY MURDER. PEOPLE R ALWAYS GOING AROUND SAYING THEY WANT ‘EQUAL RIGHTS’, WELL GUESS WHAT? THAT GOES FOR MEN & WOMEN TOO. I DON’T FEEL I AM ANY BETTER THEN A MAN, GIVE RESPECT IF YOU WANT RESPECT!

Mija #1- I agree with you. I’m glad people are finally coming out and talking about both sides of the story. I know what Fernando has been through with Carmen but it seems like no one else does. Because all the times she got violent with him, he kept his mouth shut. But I don’t feel sorry for him either. He has dated her for a long time and knows how she is. So he got what was coming…he knew she was violent all along, and that she has issues. But he stayed there when she was physically and emotionally abusive, which is hard for a man to admit. People need to know both sides- the dude isn’t an abuser.

que triste todo esto. si tu ya has sido victima de violencia domestica por segunda vez, ya tienes mas experiencia y haras que lo encierren lo mas que se pueda… univision es masplasticaque las bubies de sabrina, pero antes de que se casaran Carmen ya estaba perdiendo rating on univision, when they got married menos exito tuvo la sonada boda! ella perdio poder y le dieron su carta de retiro, Fernando siguio con su vida, ella se quedo sola, y sin empleo, fue y se quejo en telemundo y santo remedio. ESTA MAL QUE HAYA VIOLENCIA TANTO PARA HOMBRES Y MUJERES, pero lo que ella esta haciendo es solo verse ardida!
sin animos de ofender a nadie, y mucho menos, pero a veces los hombres tambien son victimas, and we all know que las mujeres enojadas son mas peligrosas que un hombre con una pistola en la mano!

Hello,
Before your judge Fernando, you should know the whole story.
Men are not always the perpetrators of domestic violence.
Many times women falsely accuse their exes out of revenge. Other times women falsely accuse their exes to take full custody of their children.
I am against domestic violence, but it makes me sick to see how this society has created a stereotype of “male abusers.”
It is about time men receive the recognition they deserve for being husbands and fathers.
Thank you!

Im not from miami I leaved in chicago but I watch univision must all the times and telefutura and their gossip shows; like el gordo y la flaca and escandalo and their always talking about every and their mother. And now their finally not making a single comment about this and you know why because is their own people who has done this y no les conviene. that just looks bad on their side. If you want respect learn how to respect others. “Univision, sorry but you are getting a little taste of your own medicine. This gossip shows are getting old its time for new things and new ideas.
