Ethel Pozo Opens Up About Former ‘América Hoy’ Colleagues
Ethel Pozo has recently shed light on her relationships with her past colleagues from ‘América Hoy,’ sharing insights regarding her friendships and the tensions that arose after her departure from the show. In a candid interview on the program ‘No More to Say,’ she explained the different dynamics with Brunella Horna, Edson Dávila, and Janet Barboza.
Genuine Friendship with Brunella Horna
Pozo was unequivocal in her declaration about Brunella Horna, stating, “Brunella is my genuine friend; I kept that beautiful friendship.” Unlike some of her other former colleagues, Ethel maintains a strong and active bond with Horna, emphasizing that their friendship remained intact despite changes in their professional lives. This relationship is seen as a positive outcome from their time together on the show, highlighting the importance of true friendship even amidst career transitions.
A Complicated Relationship with Edson Dávila
In contrast, Ethel’s relationship with Edson Dávila appears more ambiguous. While they do communicate and share kind gestures—such as Dávila reaching out during significant events—Pozo expressed that their friendship has shifted to a more distant dynamic. The tension primarily stems from Dávila’s decision to withhold information about Ethel not continuing on the show, knowing this crucial detail two days before Pozo’s final live performance. She remarked, “He made a bad decision; he should have been honest with me, but that doesn’t mark him as a good friend.” It underscores the complexity of their bond—one that exists but lacks the closeness they once shared.
Finality with Janet Barboza
The most striking revelation was Pozo’s unequivocal severance from Janet Barboza. Ethel stated, “Janet and I haven’t spoken since I left on December 19.” When asked if she could still refer to Barboza as a friend, she replied bluntly, “It would be lying to them. Friends talk to each other.” This statement reflects the deep sense of betrayal she feels, particularly given the loyalty that she expected from her colleagues. Ethel emphasized that while Barboza may be a hard worker, loyalty is fundamental to friendship, and in this instance, she feels let down.
Reflections on Professional Relationships
Ethel Pozo’s insights into her relationships post-‘América Hoy’ provide a nuanced view of the complexities involved in workplace friendships. The show’s production environment fostered strong ties while simultaneously breeding challenges. As Ethel observed, the aftermath of her departure has reshaped these dynamics, with her relationship with Horna emerging as a standout example of genuine friendship, contrasted sharply by the distance with Dávila and the completion of ties with Barboza.
In closing, the unraveling of these relationships showcases the intricate nature of professional bonds, highlighting how quickly camaraderie can shift due to circumstances. As Ethel moves forward in her career, these experiences will undoubtedly shape her approach to future collaborations.
