October 8, 2025 was marked as the day Myrka Dellanos was removed from both “La Mesa Caliente” and the Telemundo network.
According to different media, the presenter was summoned by the Human Resources department shortly before the recording of the program began and received the news that she would no longer continue in her functions.
During the live broadcast, Giselle Blondet, her partner in the program, communicated the decision to the audience, highlighting her talent, professionalism and key participation since the launch of “La Mesa Caliente”.
Blondet said on air: “Our colleague Myrka Dellanos will no longer be part of this program La Mesa Caliente. Myrka is a very talented television host, characterized by her professionalism and dedication. We thank her for her valuable contributions to our show since its launch.”
“Without a doubt, Myrka helped position us as one of the leading afternoon programs on Spanish-language television. Her participation will always be part of our history.”
So far, there has been no official statement from Telemundo detailing the exact causes of the dismissal.
Myrka Dellanos: The Mexico Controversy
Myrka Dellanos joined the panel of “La Mesa Caliente” in March 2022, joining Giselle Blondet and Verónica Bastos, among other hosts. Since then, she became a visible figure of the program, recognized for her style of conduction, her media presence and her experience as a journalist.
However, his time on the show was also marked by a relevant controversy. In 2025, Dellanos made comments referring to a report by Donald Trump’s administration, suggesting links between Mexico and criminal groups.
Many interpreted it as an offensive generalization towards Mexicans. In response, she posted a message clarifying that her words had been distorted and that she had deep respect for Mexico and its people.
In that statement, he said, “I want to make it very clear…that Mexicans are hard-working, decent and noble people, and everyone knows that I love Mexico…this distortion hurts me very much.”
Despite this clarification, the criticism continued and some media even speculated that his departure could be related to this controversial episode.
However, there is no official confirmation that this was the determining reason for his retirement.
Although Myrka Dellanos has not made a public pronouncement in a formal statement about her dismissal, she did take to her social networks to share a spiritual reflection that many interpreted as an indirect response to her situation. In her Instagram stories, she posted snippets with religious content and encouragement, including:
“Everything happens for a reason. You may not see it right now, but sooner or later God will reveal why He allowed certain things to happen. Stay in faith. God can do anything, for anyone at any time even when it seems impossible.”
“He is never too early or too late and He never forgets His children. Don’t give up; what seems like a setback is actually part of His plan. This October, you will open the right doors. He will remove the wrong people and bring peace where there was pressure. Trust Him, He is writing your story with purpose.”
Such messages focused on faith, patience and hope were interpreted by her followers as a way to face the professional blow, without the need to expose internal details. In networks, the public reacted with shows of support, speculations and debates about her future in television.
