Overview
- The row intensified between July 8 and July 10, 2026 after Ethel Pozo said in a podcast that colleagues Janet Barboza and Edson Dávila knew they would stay at América TV while she was left uninformed.
- Pozo says she learned she would not continue only at her December farewell on América Hoy and described feeling betrayed when she noticed exclusion from production and no contract call.
- Janet Barboza has publicly denied Pozo’s account, posted time‑stamped social‑media material she says shows Pozo secured La Granja VIP months earlier, and said she and Edson told producers they would remain at América TV.
- Gisela Valcárcel backed her daughter’s version in a live video and commentator Magaly Medina attacked Janet and Edson’s conduct, turning the dispute into a wider reputational controversy on TV and social platforms.
- No independent documentary records from producers or the networks have been published to resolve the conflicting timelines, a gap that could affect trust between presenters and how future contract moves are managed.
