Cristina Pedroche has recently been at the center of widespread discussion. The Antena 3 presenter faced a wave of criticism on social media after sharing footage paired with a provocative message about the changes in her body just three weeks after giving birth.
“There is no luck or miracle here, there is a lot of preparation before and during pregnancy. Wellness, sports, healthy eating and meditation.” Pedroche explained. Soon enough, many users noted that not all mothers have access to the same resources to regain their pre-pregnancy shape.
Yet the Vallecas native also received numerous messages of support over the same period, from both strangers and familiar faces. Sandra Barneda was among the most recent to offer kind words.
The host of ‘Así es la vida’ chose to publicly stand by Pedroche shortly after reading the statement she shared following the online dispute that arose yesterday afternoon. “It’s exhausting to have to explain everything I’ve done and to constantly endure this hate,” Barneda said on her Instagram profile.
After absorbing the full message, Barneda addressed viewers directly, saying, “I just want to give Cristina Pedroche a hug. Take care of yourself, take care of your family, and continue speaking openly on social networks about things that matter to you.”
She added, as a personal example, that “many people do not criticize her; on the contrary, they praise her.” “Brave, thank you for always sharing your thoughts and standing up for what you believe.” [citation: public statements and social media posts, multiple observers]
