Xoana González Says She Endured Trauma and a Psychotic Break in Return to 'El Valor de la Verdad'

Her first‑person testimony aired live on Panamericana and the program’s YouTube channel.

Overview

  • Broadcast on October 5 at 10 p.m. in Peru, the episode marked González’s latest appearance on the confessional show hosted by Beto Ortiz.
  • On air, she described suicidal thoughts and dangerous behavior, including running into the street seeking to be hit by cars after her mother’s death in July.
  • She recounted what she called a psychotic episode in which she believed a piece of fruit was a knife and said she “stabbed” her husband with a banana before being sedated.
  • González said she had used multiple substances and experienced intense hallucinations, naming clonazepam, alcohol, LSD, marijuana, cocaine and “tusi.”
  • She framed her return as an effort to explain years away from TV and to offer a more mature account of her life, with all disclosures presented as her own statements on the program and not independently verified.
