The feud between Janet Barboza and Magaly Medina
The relationship between Janet Barboza and Magaly Medina has been tense for years. Although the television host has made it clear that she does not have a personal problem with Medina, her dislike of the way the ATV host handles her program is evident. “I don’t like how he handles it and how he directs it; “He is cruel to those who are weak, he does not confront,” said the popular ‘Retoquitos’ in a past interview in which he criticized the way in which Medina treats certain characters in his program, which is not to his liking.
The feud between Janet Barboza and Magaly Medina dates back to early 2020. It all started after an interview that Magaly conducted with the singer Yahaira Plasencia, where Janet criticized the lack of incisive questions, suggesting that the interview was superficial and just an attempt to flatter to the artist. Janet described Magaly’s performance as a “waste of time” and accused her of not exercising her role as a journalist effectively.
Tensions grew when the ‘Urraca’, upon learning of the criticism of ‘La retoquitos’, disqualified her, saying that she did not have the moral authority to judge her, remembering that Janet had been involved in an affair with a married man in the past. Since then, the presenters have exchanged harsh epithets on their shows.
