i cancelled myself for telemundo
sometime last week i got a call from a casting director from telemundo, and asked me to be in a show the next day. i was very happy, because telemundo is the largest spanish speaking channel in the US, and it’s broadcasted in latin america as well. but…. i told her i could not attend because i had something going on that day, but asked her to call me back if she had anything in the future.
today, she called me again. it was last minute, call time was in a few hours. for a new show, some classy talk show, a mix between “the view” and “dr. phil”. i was going to be interviewed for a segment, and give my opinion on relationships or sth like that. the pay was good considering i was only going in for 2-3 hours. plus they’d have make up, hair, and a styilist – which i needed badly cause i look terrible today.
anyway, long story short, right before i left the show director called me. he asked me if i had ever been cheated on, and i said no. he then told me “could you pretend then you were married once and were cheated on?”. wth, i know. um, no. i felt bad, but i told him i did not want people to think i was actually married once, hell no. so then, i cancelled.
i gave up some minutes of int’l fame and some money for not lying about my life, which is worth much more than that. so there :)
