José María Almoguera’s shame when he saw how his mother, Carmen Borrego, was “humiliated” on TV: “They have made my life a mess”

Pain, tension, anger, distance, cooling and disgust: Carmen Borrego and her son José María Almoguera. Terelu’s sister has chosen a fuchsia pink colour of an empowered woman to face the recorded interview that her son José María Almoguera has given on De Viernes. Her visit has come, as we reported in Informalia, after the young man’s devastating statement: “I don’t trust my mother”, which he gave to Lecturas magazine.

“Do you recognise your son?” she was asked. Of course I recognise my son… Of course I love my son, I have not stopped loving him for a single second of my life,” Carmen stressed on the set.

Almoguera’s words that have resounded have been those that referred to her as a mother whom she does not distinguish from Borrego, the character. They began by talking about fame and whether it bothers her that Carmen is famous. “I don’t care, my whole family has been famous. But she has done something on TV that she should not have done, such as allowing certain types of harassment (they called her Potota), such as disrespect towards her. These unpunished disrespects towards her have clouded my life. Like that cake blow right after surgery. That at your workplace they are humiliating and harassing you, I would not have allowed it. There comes a time when the character wins and eats my mother.” “Does the character thing bother you?” he was asked. “We all live off the characters, I think being a character is not bad. I think my son is defending me.”

“The silences have done me more harm than good,” said José María, who has always been very defensive. To start with, there were the attacks that have been levelled at him this week for the aforementioned headline in the magazine. He claimed that it had been taken out of context: “I’m bad but not that bad, I find it hard to identify hatred.” And he made it clear that he has joined Telecinco not for money, but for himself: “I have not done this out of necessity (financial, as his cousin Alejandra Rubio had claimed). I have felt very alone.”

Carmen’s greatest support on the set has been her sister Terelu, who from the first minute has told her to be “calm”, that there is nothing to be “ashamed of” and that she is “herself with her truth”. And she has settled with a resounding “Let no lies be told about my sister.”
