Melody Demands Respect Following Broncano’s Mental Health Jokes

The singer says she will only return to programs that honor her well-being after RTVE denied that her contract prohibits personal political statements.

Overview

  • Melody finished 24th at Eurovision 2025 with 37 points and withdrew from scheduled TV appearances to rest with her young son.
  • In a press conference, she criticized ‘La Revuelta’ for mocking her need for a mental health break and accused fellow RTVE shows of double standards.
  • David Broncano, host of ‘La Revuelta,’ refused to apologize and argued that invoking mental health in this dispute trivializes deeper struggles.
  • RTVE issued a statement clarifying that the contest’s rules bar political messages in songs but do not restrict artists’ personal opinions.
  • Pablo Motos announced that Melody will appear on ‘El Hormiguero’ on June 4, underscoring her openness to media engagements conducted with respect.
