Jimena Monteverde's departure from La Noche de Mirtha opened an unexpected front between Mirtha Legrand and El Trece. What seemed like a simple programming change ended up exposing internal tensions that caused discomfort behind closed doors.
The cook, a key part of the "mesaza," left the show to take on a new professional challenge. However, the decision would not have been well received by the host, who felt uninformed and poorly looked after.

Mirtha's anger and the complaint to the network
According to what was revealed on Intrusos (América TV), Mirtha Legrand's discomfort is real and deep. The information was provided by Paula Varela, who stated that the diva believes that El Trece did not protect her.
"Mirtha believes that the network did not look after her," the journalist maintained. It even emerged that the host would have demanded that Monteverde remain linked to her show.
Mirtha Legrand's statement
In a conversation with PrimiciasYa, La Chiqui had already made her anger clear. "I don't understand who is managing this. Nobody explained anything to me," she stated, visibly upset.
The complaint points to the lack of internal communication. According to her inner circle, the host found out about the departure when the decision had already been made.
The background of the decision
The conflict has a practical reason: the schedules. La Noche de Mirtha is recorded on Friday afternoons, the same time slot in which Jimena Monteverde hosts La Cocina Rebelde.
The network's bet is strong. Monteverde's show is designed to compete directly with Verónica Lozano in the battle for ratings.

The emotional farewell on air
The farewell was finally seen in the February 7 broadcast. There, Mirtha Legrand could not hide her emotion.
"Jimena is not here because she has her show. I'm going to miss her very much," she said amid applause and tears. The phrase made clear the void that her absence leaves.

A complaint made with affection, but firm
The host also expressed her desire for Monteverde to be able to continue on the show. "I love that she has her show, but I would have liked her to continue here," she remarked.
The scene exposed the strong connection between the two and an internal conflict that, for now, remains unsolved at El Trece.
