The evening broadcast of the ‘No somos nadie’ program on Ten began as usual but turned into one of the season’s most tense moments. The routine flow of the talk show was interrupted by an unexpected and sharp intervention from Belén Esteban. Visibly agitated, she stopped the discussion and asked director David Valdeperas for the floor to address her longtime acquaintance, host Toñi Moreno, directly.
At first, her message sounded conciliatory. Belén assured Toñi of her warm feelings toward her, but her following remarks stunned both her colleagues in the studio and viewers at home. The cause of her emotional outburst was a recent interview with Esteban’s ex-husband, matador Jesulín de Ubrique. In the conversation, he casually said that he loves ‘all his four children equally’. These words reopened old wounds and prompted Belén to respond immediately and harshly.
The TV personality made it clear her anger was not about Toñi’s friendship with Jesulín and his current family, but about the public support of his false image as the perfect father. On air, she asked Moreno a rhetorical question: how often had she actually seen the matador play with his eldest daughter? A tense silence fell over the studio. Esteban stressed she could not accept such ‘reputation whitewashing’ and delivered her verdict: while Jesulín may be a wonderful father to the children living in Andalucía, there is a child with whom he has never played. She demanded that this be acknowledged for the last time.
But the revelations did not stop there. Belén hinted at another, more personal reason for her resentment, related to an incident at Zamorano’s hair salon. After much persuasion from her colleagues, she shared the details. According to her, after returning from filming for Netflix in the United States, someone close to her was taking clothes to the salon and ran into Toñi. Moreno allegedly sent greetings to her father through this person, noting that he spends a lot of time with his daughter. In response, a bitter remark was made, asking to tell her father that he had never visited her. With this story, Esteban made it clear who she was talking about, without naming names.
This story stunned those present, particularly Kiko Matamoros, who expressed bewilderment at the cynicism of the situation. He noted that he knows Toñi and cannot believe such a level of duplicity. It is clear that Belén Esteban’s direct address to Toñi Moreno through the television cameras will have far-reaching consequences. This was not just an emotional statement, but a public warning that, as Belén herself hopes, will be the last.
