The post that sparked the controversy was a video shared on Instagram, in which the host is seen celebrating England's triumph over Mexico with the phrase:

"I only wanted one thing to sleep peacefully today."

In the description of the post, she wrote:

"Thanks Kane, thanks Bellingham. They tell me you have Esmeraldas roots."

With that phrase, she alluded to Esmeraldas, the Ecuadorian city where she was born.

However, what bothered Mexican fans the most was a comment she herself left on the post, in which she mocked the fact that the Mexican National Team could not defeat the English side despite playing with an extra man for a good part of the match.

"They couldn't even do it with one less player. Not even with the 11 minutes of stoppage time. Not even going back to the hotel to shout. CHAO. BYE BYE. SAYONARA. ARRIVEDERCHI."

• "Ay querida no te queda de otra, más que gozar el triunfo ajeno porque gozar por tu país no pudiste. Perdimos pero con 2-3 no con 0. Ver caer a Ecuador eso fue más satisfactorio".
• "Y sii, sii la corren jaja del programa sería genial".
• "Brincando porque en su último partido no pudo".
• "Recuerda que el gran porcentaje de donde trabajas y los que te ven son mexicanos. Ubícate, manita. No creo que en Inglaterra te vean y apoyen".
• "Como quiera tragas de México".
• "Vives y comes del público mexicano también, no se te olvide".

After the controversy, Jaramillo responded in stories to a Mexican fan who asked her not to pay attention to Mexican fans, to which she replied: "I have always known that the good ones are more numerous."

At the moment, Univision has not commented on the matter.
