Madrid, Spain – Comedian Elsa Ruiz has publicly reacted to an unexpected mention by television host Risto Mejide in a farewell video for colleague Marta Flich, who is departing the show "Todo es Mentira." Ruiz, who previously worked on the program, shared a direct message she received informing her of Mejide's acknowledgment.
In her video, Ruiz expressed surprise and frustration, noting that Mejide had not publicly or privately addressed her departure from the show five years prior. She highlighted a perceived disparity in treatment, mentioning that another former colleague, Miguel Lago, was permitted to say a proper goodbye, an opportunity she was denied. Ruiz also referenced a segment from Marta Flich's farewell speech, where Flich thanked the behind-the-scenes staff, which Ruiz interpreted sarcastically, likening herself to an "appendix" only noticed when problematic.
Despite her critical remarks towards Mejide, Ruiz extended well wishes to Marta Flich for her future endeavors. She concluded her commentary with a pointed metaphor regarding Mejide's belated recognition, stating his affection arrived "late and badly," similar to the Renfe train service in Catalonia.
