Jimena Monteverde ended up caught in an internal television dispute that raised alarms about her continuity on Mirtha Legrand and Juana Viale's shows. The reports multiplied and speak of a labor conflict that is still not entirely clear.
The issue gained traction in recent hours and exposed the tension caused by her dual role on El Trece's screen. While some claim that her departure is imminent, others state that everything remains the same.
Jimena Monteverde quedó envuelta en una interna televisiva que encendió las alarmas sobre su continuidad en los programas de Mirtha Legrand
The rumor that shook the most famous table
The initial information was revealed by journalist Juan Etchegoyen, who spoke of a delicate personal moment for the cook. According to what he reported, Monteverde is emotionally affected by the job uncertainty.
The focus of the conflict is her current role as host of La cocina rebelde. Until now, she recorded that show on Fridays and then fulfilled her gastronomic commitments with Mirtha and Juana.
The change that would have complicated everything
The problem arose with the possibility that her show might start airing live. That change would make it almost impossible to reconcile schedules with the historic lunches and dinners.
In that context, Martín Salwe stated on SQP (América TV) that the termination had already been decided. He even hinted that Monteverde would not appear again on Mirtha's next show.
The denial that turned the story around
Minutes later, Majo Martino brought reassurance with an opposite version. The panelist stated that she spoke directly with the cook.

According to her account, Monteverde flatly denied her departure and explained that her contract includes the recording of her show and then her presence with Mirtha. "I'm not leaving", was her response.
For now, everything remains the same
The truth is that, so far, Jimena Monteverde remains linked to both projects. However, the controversy exposed the strain involved in sustaining two shows simultaneously.
While the reports keep crossing between journalists and panelists, the big question is whether she will be able to maintain that pace. The most famous table in the country, for now, still has its star cook.
