Alonso Quintero says romance with Sigrid Alegría led to Canal 13 firing

Chilean actor Alonso Quintero told host Pamela Díaz on the "Sin Editar" podcast that his relationship with actress Sigrid Alegría, which attracted intense media scrutiny, directly affected his career. He said the channel's executives considered the romance too controversial for the network’s conservative image, leading to his dismissal from Canal 13. Quintero described the pressure as relentless, noting reporters gathered outside his home and that the decision was made to "reduce the controversy". He called the firing unfair, stating, "I lost my job because of my private life, which had nothing to do with my work," and recalled being told, "This is very controversial; the channel's management doesn't like it."
