Univision anchor Fernando Del Rincon is the latest person to be fired in a domestic violence/HR clusterfuck going on at Univision. It seems the host of Primer Impacto did not show up to work yesterday and sources say it’s because he’s been fired after viewers reacted negatively to Univision firing his now ex-wife Carmen Dominicci from the network when she told them about about alleged domestic abuse from Del Rincon. Dominicci, who also hosted Primer Impacto, did an interview about the night in question–at a hotel in the Dominican Republic–with rival network Telemundo who seem to be the only ones having a good year in Spanish-language television right about now. The video is after the jump.


In the interview, Dominicci, who divorced Rincon officially last month, describes the night where Rincon grabbed her by the neck and almost choked her. She then says that he announced to her, “Are you happy? You’ve turned me into an Osvaldo Rios,” referring to her ex-husband, Puerto Rican telenovela star Osvaldo Rios who she also accused of domestic violence fifteen years ago.

Making this whole thing even more interesting is the Carmen Dominicci knock off Letty Peña who came forward in September telling Primera Hora that she was having an affair with Del Rincon during the time in question. Happy Holidays!

    I’ve totally been following this. I hope he gets fired.

    The best part was when she said something like “i don’t have a pinata complex” since this would be the third time she gets beat. or by the third husband?

    THE NEWS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE DONE BY LISENING ALL SIDES OF THE STORY, WHETHER THERE IS TWO OR MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED.IN THIS CASE I HAD SEEN DOMINICCI ‘S SIDE OF THE STORY, BUT NOT FERNANDO’S. I THINK PEOPLE RUSH TO JUGMENT AND FOUND THE GUY GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES.

    Don’t get me wrong please, I’m not generalizing that all women attract abusive men or that women must be doing something to attract the abuse. That is ridiculous. Also, not all men are abusive.

    Now that I’ve stated the obvious….

    What I am saying is that some people may have some issues, perhaps issues they haven’t dealt with, which drive them to the tendency of being attracted to people who are indeed abusive. Until they get help from a professional, they will keep getting into the same situation.

    I was saying it in a jokingly manner before, but I see that I needed to explain in details what I meant lol.

    You’re exactly right Nerd Fairy, but in this case, it’s not only that Carmen has issues, she knows the best way to break someone down is by claiming victim.
    I believed it happened once, and she destroyed her first husband which may have been rightful, and she knew if she blew this story up enough with Fernando, it would destroy…what is it…her 3rd husband already? Issues!
    Not saying much about her 3rd husband, Fernando… I think he’s on a roll too with the wives club.

    I think Fernando’s pretty much finished; he’s also an alcoholic and needs treatment.
    Many years will have to transpire before he can return to the tube.
    The Latin culture is much more different then the US culture. Americans forgive and forget, but Latins tend to be more shameful and less forgiving.
    Too bad for Fernando.

    Well, if this isn’t the first time this happens to her, then it’s obviously her fault. First time, shame on him, second time shame on her. She looks like a person who has a strong character and a bad attitude, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she provoked him. I never really liked her on Primer Impacto, and I don’t like her even more now. I’m glad she got fired first as she deserved it. If he really was violent, where is the proof? Where are the pictures of bruises? Questionable…

    i think that without any bruises on her body is very hard to believe that she got beat up…but then again that poor fool should have known better than to a marry someone like her with such history as being a pinata and asking for divorces left and right!!!!!!

    Hello,

    Before your judge Fernando, you should know the whole story.

    Men are not always the perpetrators of domestic violence.

    Many times women falsely accuse their exes out of revenge. Other times women falsely accuse their exes to take full custody of their children.

    I am against domestic violence, but it makes me sick to see how this society has created a stereotype of “male abusers.”

    It is about time men receive the recognition they deserve for being husbands and fathers.

    Thank you!

    KA

    Both get involve at the same amnner. Probably they hit each other, screamed, grabbed themselves, thats the nature of humans. Both were drinking so alcohol probably was a big factor. The worst thing is the way they ended up loosing their jobs. Who nows if in couple of months they are back together. Marriage issues, only they knows the real story. I hope both get together to talk about what happened and together tlak to their fans for their best.

    I think that Carmen is at fault,she’s been married two times and both marriages failed because the same reasons, it makes me think that she is the one that drives these men crazy. She needs to get professional help!

    No me gusta telemundo por que siempre hacen los que le dan la gana con los programas, no tienen respeto con su publico. La novelas por ejemplo: Yo veo Dona Barbara y Sin Senos no Hay Paraiso pero cuando se acaben no vere mas novelas de Telemundo. El unico programa que me gusta es telemundo con Maria Celeste. Ella si vale la pena. Telemundo esta desorganizado.

    Both were great as professionals but a shame as lovers.

    She’s so beautiful and for sure doesn’t deserve any kind of violence.

    He was so lucky that she accepted be his wife, but if less than a year she asks for a divorce that means nothing but loveless careless whispers for her.

    Women never lost a man.
    A Man is always guilty to loose a Woman.

    Im totally against violence but we all have met a person or two who just wont shut up and get out of your face and get psyco to the point that you have to push them or slap them to get them off you, then turn around and cry that they got abused when they were the ones who asked for it! Come on if you keep getting abused then you really got to analize your person and stop doing what you are doing to keep getting “vicitimized” like stop getting psyco on them walk away and leave before you get beat again!
