Chilean television personality Nicole Moreno, better known as “Luli,” recently made headlines with a controversial statement: she threatened to leave the country if the resurgence of entertainment programming continues. Her comments, made in a video released in July, ignited a firestorm of media attention and prompted a public description.
The return of several high-profile entertainment shows, including revivals of popular programs like Primer Plano (which aired on Chilevisión from 2002 to 2018), has created a highly competitive television landscape in Chile. Shows like Sígueme y te sigo, Only Fama, and Hay que hablar are all vying for viewers’ attention, leading to intense competition for exclusive interviews and celebrity appearances.
Luli Explains Her Controversial Statement
In her original video, Moreno declared, “I want to tell you something and only you will know: if showbiz returns here in Chile, ‘Sorry, I’m leaving the country.’” This statement quickly went viral, prompting widespread speculation and calls for clarification.
Moreno finaly addressed the controversy in an interview with Only Fama, explaining the context behind her outburst. “I was preparing for a super important international competition, to better represent my country,” she stated. She revealed that a training accident derailed her preparations, leading to frustration with the media’s focus on entertainment news rather than her athletic pursuits.
She expressed her disappointment, saying, “‘Why are some showbiz programs talking about things that don’t belong?'” Moreno elaborated, “I can’t train for two weeks, I’m injured. “I am going to represent Chile, I felt sad, undervalued by television.” This, she explained, was the impetus for her dramatic statement.
Reflecting on the reaction to her video, Moreno added, “One sees that video and says ‘what do you think this shit is about.’ But if people knew the context,I had been training for five months,training power,with enormous discipline to leave your country in a good position.”
Moreno’s story highlights the pressures faced by celebrities balancing their personal lives, professional commitments, and public image. Her experience resonates with the broader conversation about the impact of media coverage on athletes and the importance of supporting national representatives.
