Belén Esteban: "They told me I was even a whore"

The famous tertuliana gets into the skin of a businesswoman with 'Sabores de La Esteban', her brand of gazpacho and salmorejo that is sold out in supermarkets.

Outside the set of 'Save me', she is cautious and avoids controversy.

What does your gazpacho taste like? Especially quality. It is a Spain brand and homemade, without preservatives or colorants, super healthy, suitable for vegans and gluten free. How did you come up with the idea? Nine months ago, Rubén proposed it to me, who is like my brother, he witnessed my wedding and he put up with me every day and I put up with him three times longer. He and my husband told me that I had always been an image of things and why didn't I create a company with what I liked, which is the kitchen. We jump into the pool and we are very happy. Isn't it very daring to become an entrepreneur with whom you are falling? Bold no, risky. But it was worth it. We have had many headaches because we wanted to do things very well. I am very happy and excited. I'm never going to leave TV because it's my job and I love

and the production company

, but I can't pigeonhole myself into one thing. If there is something that I like is the kitchen and, why not? How many employees do you have hired? I'm not going to fool you. We started with seven people in the factory, but since there is such a demand, we have had to hire more people. I am very proud to have created a Spanish company and to have provided work. What are the main obstacles that an entrepreneur has to overcome when setting up his business? It is not easy. I've been everywhere myself. But I have help from my managers, the people who take everything for me. What is Belén Esteban like as a boss? I am very grateful to Belén Esteban on television, but I want the public to make a difference. There are people who have a mania for me and can't handle me, but I want them not to see me as that person they can't see, but to try my product.I consider myself a very normal aunt. When she became a businesswoman, Ana Rosa Quintana said that she had felt machismo and that she had felt neglected. Has the same thing happened to you? To this day, I have not felt that. But, come on, I have noses to face anyone. But thank God it didn't happen to me! Will the next thing be Andreíta's famous chicken? No. When the summer season ends, the creams of vegetables, pumpkin, zucchini, carrot will come ... All natural. Don't you get tired of the character you've created? I don't see myself as a character. I am so. When I get angry on set, I think, "You have to see how I get on!" I think the character has not eaten me. Why do people identify with you so much? Because I've been through things and because of the way I speak, even though it may not be the right way. I am very involved with people.What is better: being a 'Save me' gathering or working in an office? I can't say that it is not good to be a

, but working in an office gives you more peace of mind. Is Belén Esteban the only collaborator who dares to face Jorge Javier Vázquez? No. I want it to be very clear that we have known each other for more than 20 years and there is trust. It is true that we have our quarrels, but the good thing is that they have been clarified. And we will surely have more because we do not always agree. In one of your famous fights, Jorge Javier told you that you had stopped being the princess of the town to be a 'cayetana'. Did it hurt? I do not consider myself

. I think he said it at one point ... The people put it to me as a princess of the town. I do not take it into account. Is there freedom on the set of 'Sálvame' to comment on politics or Jorge Javier cuts off criticism of the Sánchez government? There has been a time when we no longer talk about politics, but each one has been free to say what they wanted. What do you think of Ayuso's triumph? I don't want to talk about politics. Hasn't 'Sálvame' become a kind of pack where you attack each other? Look, our directors and production people make us a rundown and many times we don't even make it to the third video. The good thing is that we can kill ourselves, but when we have to be, we are. What shows would you remove from television? None. I'm already a little tired of white programs. What happens that ours ...? People see us and we are very grateful to all those people. Have you ever lied on set? Hey, it wasn't these lies, but then when I did, I felt bad and backed off. I didn't feel good about myself. Of all the lies that have been told about you, which has been the one that has hurt you the most? Man, I was told that I was even a whore. It was published in a magazine. There have been many, but I don't care. I know who I am. The children of celebrities often follow in the wake of their parents. How have you made your daughter not want to be in the spotlight? For my daughter. What contradictions live within Belén Esteban? It goes seasonally. Sometimes I'm in a bad season that everything seems terrible to me, but now, thank God, I'm in a good season. Have you suffered a lot in life? Well, life is not easy for anyone.In life you suffer, but you have to think that everything happens. You have been one of the few talk shows that has recognized that she was wrong with Rocío Carrasco. Yes. Rocío Carrasco has not been able to prove the alleged mistreatment of Antonio David before the courts, but she has demonstrated with abundant documentation that her ex-husband has been lying for 20 years. I will not go into the Rocío topic because I have

every day. You fell in love with the ambulance driver who took you to the hospital after a low blood sugar. Doesn't that happen only in movies? Let's see, my husband works with an ambulance, but he has his medical certificate. They always say that he is an ambulance driver. Well yes, it doesn't just happen in movies, but it also happens in real life. Blessed sugar drop! It changed my life. Does fame have any drugs? You get tired of it, but when you don't have it you miss it. What would you say to all those who think that you have been living all your life at the expense of Jesulín de Ubrique? I think I have proven that not. I have talked about a story, which is my life and I am the first to tell it. The other party if you want me to. I have no problem. Are you afraid of a docudrama by Jesulín and María José Campanario? Man,Campanario has not been in my life. La Jose has not been in my life. That lady from me ... She is free to do whatever she wants. He doesn't have to give me explanations, but there is someone to whom he would have to give them. What is the biggest lesson you have taught your daughter? Make her a good person.
