Univision Secrets Revealed
Pablo Padula, an ex Univision reporter, has written a book with juicy details about the network and its stars. In Secretos de Impacto, Pablo claims:
- That Maria Celeste Arraras and Myrka Dellanos supposedly did not get along at all.
- That Raul De Molina’s ego grew when he got his own show, El Gordo y La Flaca.
- That Univision refused to put blacks on the air, until they were faced with a possible lawsuit so they decided to change their ways.
- That everything Mexican is given priority at the network.
- That Univision keeps on paying Myrka Dellanos a high salary even though she has only done two shows since leaving Primer Impacto a few years back – just so that she won’t go work for Telemundo.
We can’t say much because we weren’t there, but every Latin Gossip reader knows that here we speak the truth whether it hurts or not.
This time, we have to say that we have met Raul De Molina and he is nothing but a kind true gentleman. We think Univision can do a better job of hiring black journalists. We thought Univision gave everything Cuban a priority, so we’re not sure about the Mexican claim.
So, do you believe what Pablo has to say or not?

Just one comment: how many cuban journalists do you see as anchors for Univision Network News?

He’s for sure telling the truth! (from his point of view). But am not so sure about the “Cuban” priotity, still I’d like to give it the benefit of the doubt, since we had have shows like Cristina, Atrevete, El Gordo Y La Placa, etc… Now, the Mexican shows are the network’s majority, not because they good shows, but because Univision it’s mostly watched by the mexican public. But for the most part, I believe what’s wrote in the book!

Way to write a book about crap everyone already knows. (A.) Maria Celeste and Myrka didn’t get along: Imagine that! Two talented, hot women on a high-rated television show whose main competition is… EACH OTHER! (B.) Gordo de Molina has a big ego: He’s got a show named after him! Who wouldn’t? (C.) Univision refuses to put blacks on the air: Good for them! I don’t see BET rushing to put any mexicans on their network… (D.) Everything mexican is given priority? Of course it is! Most of the network’s viewership is mexican, most of its big affiliate’s are on the mexican border, and a part of the network is owned by Televisa, the biggest TV network in the world, which happens to be MEXICAN! Finally, (E.) they will pay Myrka money for the rest of eternity just to keep Telemundo’s dirty little hands off of her. They’d rather keep her and let her idle than allow her to flourish at another network. Ok, so there. Anyone who bought that man’s book, get a refund, I just told you what its about. Maybe now he can write a book telling adults how to tie their shoes or a book for the old people on how to drive really slow!
Whew! My tirade for the day is done…

I’m glad Pablo wrote this book, everyone that has worked at Univision knows that they play to the Mexicans as much as they can- because yeah they’re the ones watching- but the truth is that those who worked there and were not Mexican-hated it!!!…the talent hated it, the bosses hated it, the producers hated it, but you were made to put any “Mejicanada” as they would say on the air just to balance out and make the big wigs happy.
I can’t wait to buy the book….

Got my book today… it was sold out at two of the Border’s I went to, and finally a third one had it.
I know I’m a bit late getting it, but I’ve been out of the loop for a few months. Will comment on it when I’m done.
