Alicia Machado visited La Mesa Caliente, Telemundo’s new program, and talked with the show’s hosts about what her life has been like after winning the first season of La Casa de los Famosos.
The former Venezuelan Miss Universe made her grand entrance to the program wearing an elegant white suit that she also showed off with a beautiful photograph posted on her Instagram account, where she is over 1.9 millions of followers.
Machado expressed that people prepare for failure, but never prepare for success, a situation that can become overwhelming. “You obtained that triumph that we all lived with you and you changed for many the stigma that existed of Alicia Machado, the controversial, problematic woman. That house allowed us to get to know you as you really were: how did your life change after all this, how have these months been?”, asked Veronica Bastos.
“They have been very complicated”, Machado was honest. “Because we always prepare ourselves for failure, but sometimes you don’t prepare for success and success can also be very overwhelming for those who receive it. Because I did not plan to earn the love and affection of people, I did not plan it, and if I earned it, it is because surely my way of being and my way of seeing life empathizes with billions of people and that is my success , that is what I have had to reflect on and start doing yoga and understand that”, expressed the Venezuelan.
“Now I have a very big responsibility… I have to continue being good people”, she said between laughs. “Sometimes you have to shield yourself, isolate yourself a bit because there is a lot of evil and sometimes you don’t go through life with that flag. Personally, sometimes I feel a little tired because I have had to defend myself in all these years of my career, but now I am relaxed because since they already know me as I am, I am a little more relaxed, “explained Machado.
This is not the first time that Alicia Machado talks about success and failure after winning The House of Celebrities: “I have a lot of experience, they are 26 years of being in show business. I want to live this success in peace, “she said before the Suelta La Sopa cameras just a few days after winning the reality show.
