In 2017, renowned journalist Bárbara Bermudo returned from the Dominican Republic ready to retake her place on the program Primer Impacto. For almost two decades, her presence on the screen of Univision had established herself as one of the most emblematic.
However, behind this apparent normality, the atmosphere within the company was beginning to change. Internal changes and new additions were altering the dynamics of the team, generating tensions that would eventually become unsustainable.
As the months went by, Bermudo began to perceive a different treatment. According to what she recently reported, the work environment was no longer the same, especially within the newscast team. She described the situation as a stage marked by discomfort and constant pressure.
“It was a persecution,” he said, referring to what he experienced in his last days at the company. Although he avoided generalizing, he pointed out that the mistreatment came from a small group of people, which ended up affecting his professional experience.
Despite this, he made clear his gratitude to the network for the years of growth and success he experienced on television.
Bárbara Bermudo and her unexpected dismissal from Univision
The most shocking moment came abruptly. Bárbara Bermudo was fired just one hour and ten minutes before going on the air. The news took her by surprise and generated a mixture of uncertainty and concern.
On the way to the office where he would receive the news, he recalled feeling that something wasn’t right. “I thought I had done something wrong,” he confessed. However, he never received a clear explanation to justify the decision.
In retrospect, the journalist considers that there may have been different reasons behind her departure, including possible internal strategies that affected the program’s image.
At that complicated time, the support of her family was fundamental. Her husband Mario Andrés Morenoalso participated in the interview where this episode was discussed, recalling the emotional impact of the news.
Likewise, presenter Rodner Figueroa Rodner Figueroa played a key role, providing her with advice and connecting her with a lawyer specializing in the entertainment industry. This support was crucial to face the legal and professional consequences of her departure.
Rumors and conflicting versions
After his dismissal, multiple versions emerged in the media. Some reports spoke of tense scenes in the corridors, including an alleged escort to the exit of the building.
Years later, Bermudo has decided to clarify these rumors and share her version of events in an intimate and reflective space, where she details what really happened and how she lived that moment.
Far from marking the end of her career, this episode represented a turning point. The journalist faced important changes, both in her professional and personal life, including challenges to her health.
Over time, he was able to rebuild himself and undertake new projects, also consolidating his position in the business world with his family. Today, he looks back with a mixture of learning and resilience, recognizing that that experience, although difficult, was the beginning of a new stage full of opportunities.
