MomenTVs Carlos Sobera loses control with Jesús Calleja: "Don't touch my nose!"
TV The catharsis of Jenni Hermoso with Jesús Calleja: "I have never openly said that I like girls"
If there is a white program right now on Mediaset's schedule, it is without a doubt
Planeta Calleja
. The program hosted by
Jesús Calleja
always brings with it a string of headlines left by his guests, but nothing more. The format,
Calleja
himself
, what he does with those who go is always applauded by the spectators. His audience data corroborates this. The beginning of this new season with the visit of
Jenni Hermoso
marked an audience record for
Planeta Calleja
that has been maintained in the following installments. Like
Planet
, like it a lot, until... until
the Pombo sisters
arrived .
Marta
and
María Pombo
were last night's guests at Planeta Calleja. Cape Horn, the Pía Glacier, the Beagle Channel and the Strait of Magellan are the places chosen by
Jesús Calleja
. Up to this point you could say that everything was going well, but everything went wrong when they appeared on the screen, as soon as they opened their mouths. Rarely, if not ever, has a
Planeta Calleja
provoked such an avalanche of criticism, even such an avalanche of hatred on social networks. "Vomitive", "unbearable", "shameful", "uneducated", and it goes on and on.
For those who are not in this lot of influencers, today,
María Pombo
is one of the most followed influencers in Spain and based on her success on social networks she has also created companies.
His sisters ended up following in his footsteps and now
the Pombo family
is one of the best known in the wonderful -note the irony- world of social networks. In fact, they starred in a documentary series where more details were learned about their daily lives.
That is to say, the fact that
Jesús Calleja
took the
Pombo sisters
to his program is not due to any coincidence or to the fact that there were no other better characters, it is because the
Pombo sisters
are fashionable, and since they are fashionable, he takes them to the programs. To
Planeta Calleja
or
El Hormiguero
, it doesn't matter. They are the fashion
influencers
and, no matter how many haters they have, for whatever reason, they are interesting. And if they are not interesting, they generate so many reactions, both good and bad, that they are a diamond in the rough for the programs.
They know it, it is their job and they use all the platforms that are put in front of them. And that's why they agree to expose themselves because that's what their job is, because they make a living from it. What happens is that such an exhibition provokes what happened last night with
Planeta Calleja
, the criticism, the avalanche of criticism. In a matter of minutes, the amount of comments that
the Pombo sisters
' visit could generate was incredible , and few were positive. "
Calleja
, you have excelled. Everything is embarrassing. Are you really happy? Or are you waiting tomorrow for the terrible hearing you are going to have?"; "Such a beautiful trip destroyed by this couple with empty heads"; "It is very sad that with all the wonderful people there are in the cities, towns and villages of Spain and Jesús Calleja, characters of this type are brought to the program."
And what happened with
the Pombo sisters
on
Planeta Calleja
to make what had never happened before with a
Jesús Calleja
program happen ? Well, it's difficult to explain, but there are many factors. It is them themselves, it is their speech, it is the fact of being influencers, it is what they say, what they do, it is everything. They live with it, they are aware and they assure that they don't care exactly, or at least that's what they told
Calleja
last night , among many other things.
The influencers made it very clear that they don't care if they are criticized for being from a 'good family'. "They call me 'posh' and I'm delighted," said
Marta Pombo
. And they concluded: "The posh connotation refers more, or so I consider it, to clothing, how to take care of your image, the brands you wear... The way of thinking and ideology, too (...)
Our ideology is to be Catholic, as a general rule. Right-wing, as a general rule
."
Of course, later, in another moment of the program, it was
María Pombo
who explained that although sometimes they have an image of being traditional, it really is not like that: "Our father has always given us a lot of freedom, he has never put barriers or hours for us." upon arrival, nor has he forbidden us anything. My parents' goal is to be happy.
María Pombo
then pointed out that this is what she wants for her children: "I want them to be happy in the future, to not put up with things they don't have to put up with."
And he returned to the charge: "I have three million people who I know know me perfectly and
know that I am not a classist person
, nor that I am afraid of getting dirty nor that I am afraid of screwing up or looking ugly.
I cannot expect to please others. everyone.
Whoever likes it well and whoever doesn't, nothing."
For
María Pombo
, what bothers her most about the networks is "creating a Pombo character
that
she is not. They define me as a person that I am not. And it makes me angry. She always seems like a person that I am not and
I have to always justify".
The
Pombo sisters
also remembered their childhood: "My father has always put a lot of pressure on us. Every Friday we always went to town, to Cercedilla. We did not
have a life of super luxuries
."
And in the avalanche of criticism of each of their words, it was inevitable that Jesús Calleja did not ask them precisely about that exhibition, about the haters, about that hatred that moves around them and with which it seems, it only seems that they have learned to live together. "Being like a traditional family... but we have always been educated with respect and equality. We consider ourselves feminists," said Marta Pombo.
Because if they tried not to get into puddles,
the Pombo sisters
were wrong, or not, and they got into everything: politics, religion, money, feminism... Are you up for it? In fact, they stated that they can agree with some things from one party and others from another party. And they also have professional colleagues "completely opposite" to what they think and yet they are very good friends. You can think differently and get along with whoever, they reiterated. "I don't like being soldiers of the parties," said
María Pombo
. More fuel to the fire.
But beyond the criticism, the fact that they are not afraid of anything, that they are aware that the haters are always going to be there and all the criticism that they could add last night, Jesús Calleja achieved what he always achieves, that his guests forget for a moment who they are or what they cause and open their mouths.
In a moment of rest on a mountain trip,
Marta Pombo
explained that she needed the help of a psychiatrist for
a depressive disorder
. The
influencer
has confessed about that hard time.
Jesús Calleja then
asked the
Pombo sisters what they would say to the
haters
who criticize them.
"They should go to the psychologist, they have untreated traumas
," stated
Marta Pombo
. The presenter then asked him about his time when he had to take care of his mental health with medication and a professional.
"I had to go to the psychiatrist because I had a brief depressive episode
," she confirmed, saying that there had been many reasons that had led to this, but that now she had learned to manage herself emotionally in her daily life. "I have found my character and my way of being," she explained.
Marta Pombo acknowledged that she lost the will to live "but not in terms of taking my own life," she said. "
I was not motivated by life
. I have always been a person who motivated me to know, to live... I felt like I was going with the flow because I no longer wanted to make decisions nor did I feel like assuming anything," she added.
Well yes, you have to have a lot of strength to be aware of what they cause in many people and move forward. Well, they do it.
