Univision Host Alejandra Jaramillo Faces Backlash for Celebrating Mexico’s World Cup Exit

Her Instagram posts after Mexico's July 5 loss to England risk alienating Univision's predominantly Mexican audience.

Overview

  • Alejandra Jaramillo posted videos and messages on Instagram celebrating England's win over Mexico and wrote that she had 'saló' (cursed) the Mexican team, remarks that circulated widely on July 6–7.
  • Thousands of users responded on social platforms with outrage, captured screenshots, and the hashtag #BoycottUnivision to demand that the network suspend or fire her.
  • Prominent Spanish‑language TV figures including Laura Bozzo and Gustavo Adolfo Infante publicly called for Univision to sanction Jaramillo, increasing pressure on the broadcaster.
  • Jaramillo posted follow‑up content interpreted as provocative, including a clip with a Mexican jersey and comments about 'salo' shirts, and she has not issued a broad public apology.
  • As of July 8–9 TelevisaUnivision has not announced any disciplinary action, leaving the dispute focused on reputational risk to the network and the volatile divide between Mexican and Ecuadorian fans.
