Confirmed, Carlos Calderón has been split from ‘Despierta América’ and from Univision… And it was the chain itself that corroborated our information and clarified the rationale behind this decision.
After almost 6 years on the Univision morning show and 25 on the network – with its ins and outs -, This morning, the Mexican presenter was told he would no longer be part of the company.
If you didn’t see him in the studio or on ‘Sin Rollos’ on Wednesday, that’s because this morning When he arrived at the studio, he was told that his contract, which expired at the end of January, would not be renewed. and that due to changes within the show It would no longer be part of ‘Despierta América’.
But not only that, nor from the chain from which he has been fired and returned on other occasions such as his participation in “El Lente Loco”, “El Gordo y la Flaca”, “Acceso Máximo” or “Noche de Perros”.
Why was Carlos Calderón split from ‘Despierta América’?
although many You might assume that the scandal he was embroiled in last year with Vanessa Lyon, his son’s mother, might have influenced himIt has nothing to do with this decision, but with it a realignment within the chain and within the show, where Calderón would be the least committed of all the presenters when it came to work either with their colleagues or with the program itself.
Will anyone else be in Despierta América?
No, only Calderón would be separated from the show, although there could be further changes in other programs on the network. Sometime It was said that everyone should fire one from their team, but at the moment only the Mexican was unlucky.
Did Calderón know he was going to be kicked out of the show?
No, neither Carlos nor his colleagues were aware that this would happen.. Although Calderón would not have received an invitation to extend his contract, to date he has not been told it is expiring when called to HR to get the news.
Like the rest of the team they put together to inform you that Calderón would no longer be part of The Happiest House on Hispanic Television family.
We have communicated with Univision to get a chain responsewho were limited to it confirm the end of Calderón’s involvement in the company and that the reasons were the non-renewal of his contract.
THE DIFFICULT YEAR OF CARLOS CALDERÓN:
Remember that in 2022, Calderón filed a lawsuit alleging violence against Venezuelan actress Vanessa Lyon, mother of her son León. He accused her of being verbally and physically aggressive. and although she would later have repented and asked the police not to arrest her, she called 911 and Lyon ended up being booked by the law.
Then came the Request ownership of León, the DNA request, not because he doubted it was his son, but as part of the protocol to request to have rights to the child, given that Vanessa is a single motherThe couple never married When she became pregnant, she was still married to musician Marcus Nand.
He followed Vanessa’s allegations in nets, where she said, crying, that she was separated from her son, lived with a friend and didn’t even have to eat. actually until An account was opened to raise money and also to cover the costs of lawyers. And the constant exposure that Calderón was a “narcissist.”
Nevertheless, 6 months later we found her very much in love and happy at the Nodal concert in Miamishocking everyone present. it was inat the Thanksgiving table at Despierta América, where Calderón broke the silence for the first time and after affirming that it had been the most difficult year of his life, They had decided to return at the request of their baby, 1-year-old Leoncito.
