Marixa Balli makes her debut on Pasión de Sábado after 24 years amid controversy
The media figure has taken over as host of the tropical program while Marcela Baños is on vacation.
Marixa Balli returned as host of Pasión de Sábado, replacing Marcela Baños during her vacation in Brazil. Her debut was enthusiastically announced by co-host Alejandro Beltzer, though it was marred by a shout of "traitor" that interrupted the presentation.
In a pre-debut interview, Balli spoke about her enmity with Baños, claiming that the host "minimizes herself." This suggests unresolved issues between the two, although she kept the door open for future dialogue.
This return marks the first face-off between the two after 24 years of Balli's absence from the program and rekindles the historical tension that has existed between the two media figures. According to reports, the context of their enmity remains a pertinent topic among the show's followers.
