The set of Y ahora Sonsoles experienced a moment of great emotion and advocacy. The protagonist was María del Monte, who received a great round of applause from the audience after words full of sincerity and commitment. It all happened after the testimony of Elsa Gutiérrez, a young woman who reported a situation of workplace discrimination.

Elsa told her story with courage. She worked in a nutrition clinic until, as she confessed, she was fired because of her weight. "Only models work there," she stated sadly.

A television program shows several hosts on a set, with a large screen behind them highlighting a message about a person who was fired from their job at a nutrition clinic due to their weight.

She explained that her dismissal was not due to work-related issues but because her colleagues spoke ill of her. Her own tutor was the one who invited her to leave the center without defending her.
