Salvador Zerboni ignited social media after the well-known telenovela actor made comments against Alejandra Jaramillo.
The backlash began after Jaramillo made a series of comments following a soccer match between Mexico and England that many social media users interpreted as insulting or mocking Mexico.
Amid the growing criticism, Zerboni decided to speak out. Many online users also recalled that he had previously expressed negative opinions about Jaramillo when they appeared together on the Televisa Univisión reality show Apostarías por Mí.

The actor openly criticized what he described as Alejandra Jaramillo’s lack of sportsmanship.
«We couldn’t beat England, but we did manage to humble you, because Ecuadorians are not to blame for your insults and indiscretions… The World Cup is about unity, not humiliation, and certainly not about kicking someone when they’re already down.»
Zerboni also predicted that Jaramillo would eventually issue a public apology, but argued that it would be motivated by convenience because of the large Mexican audience she relies on across her social media platforms.
«We’ll see whether they forgive you.»
Public Opinion Divided Over the Controversy
As expected, the comments section of the original post quickly became a battleground, with the controversy expanding into a broader debate involving national pride.
Many Mexican users supported Zerboni’s remarks, posting comments such as:
«Well said, my favorite TV villain.»
«I always thought she was fake too.»
Some social media users also began calling for Alejandra Jaramillo to be removed from television.
Meanwhile, many Ecuadorian users and supporters of Jaramillo defended the presenter, arguing that the backlash had become excessive.
Several commenters said she has every right to support the team of her choice without being criticized.
