Galilea Montijo Absent from ‘Hoy’ Amid Televisa Leak Scandal

MEXICO CITY, Mexico — Galilea Montijo, a beloved Mexican television host, was notably absent from the morning show ‘Hoy‘ on Monday, January 20, 2025, amid allegations of leaking confidential information from the popular show ‘¿Quién es la Máscara?’. The scandal has shifted focus from singer Anahí to Montijo and her publicist, Danna Vázquez, according to reports from TVyNovelas, a magazine owned by Televisa‘s editorial group.

The leaked information reportedly included the identities of celebrities participating in the latest season of ‘¿Quién es la Máscara?’, a breach of the strict confidentiality agreements that govern such productions. The leak was first published by a gossip magazine, prompting TelevisaUnivision to take action, including the dismissal of the show’s social media manager, who was allegedly directly involved in the incident.

Montijo, who has been a staple on Televisa for years, is accused of sharing private details about her participation in the show and the character she was to portray with Vázquez. This alleged breach could have significant repercussions for Montijo’s career and her relationship with Televisa, potentially jeopardizing her exclusive contract with the network.

Vázquez has also been implicated in the scandal, accused of receiving the list of participants and sharing it with a media outlet, as well as revealing some names to Anahí, the show’s investigator. This has raised concerns about the confidentiality and integrity of the show’s sixth season.

TelevisaUnivision has not released an official statement regarding Montijo’s involvement, but the internal investigation continues to focus on both Montijo and Vázquez. The outcome of this investigation could have lasting impacts on the careers of those involved and the future of ‘¿Quién es la Máscara?’.
