Jesús Vázquez Discusses Therapy and Departure From Mediaset

Spanish television presenter Jesús Vázquez said he is pursuing a calmer life away from alcohol and nightlife during a recent television appearance.

Vázquez is a prominent figure in Spanish media, and his openness about mental health and professional disillusionment provides a rare glimpse into the personal toll of high-pressure broadcasting careers.

During an interview broadcast on May 20, 2026 ^[1], on the program "La Noche de Aimar" aired by La Sexta, Vázquez discussed the emotional aftermath of his exit from Mediaset. He said his departure was not a moment of vertigo, but a deep disappointment.

"Les di mi vida y no me sentí correspondido, me llevó a un estado de tristeza y pena," Vázquez said ^[2]. He said that giving his life to the company without feeling a reciprocal appreciation led him into a state of sadness and grief ^[2].

To navigate this transition, the presenter said that he has sought professional help. He said that he remains in therapy to help him embrace this new phase of his existence with a positive outlook.

"Sigo en terapia para asumir mi nueva vida con felicidad," Vázquez said ^[1].

This shift in lifestyle involves a conscious distancing from the social scenes and habits that often accompany the entertainment industry. By stepping away from the nightlife and alcohol, Vázquez aims to establish a sustainable foundation for his well-being.

The interview, which was also made available on Atresplayer, highlights a period of introspection for the presenter as he seeks to redefine his identity outside of the corporate structure of Mediaset ^[1], ^[2].
