Maria Laria
Spanish presenter enthusiastically celebrates the tenth anniversary of ARREBATADOS forming part of the family of América TeVé, a successful channel in Miami.
“ARREBATADOS, was my salvation.” After my father died I could not face the cameras. I left a contract for 5 years in Los Angeles because of my pain. ARREBATADOS gave me oxygen, it allowed me to breathe again. America TeVé opened their arms, and every person who worked in the show gave me love and faith to move forward. Those who did not, made me stronger. ARREBATADOS gave me happiness to reconnect with my roots and that beautiful country of my parents that I did not know. America TeVé gave me hand and took me out of the hollow which I was in”… claimed Maria.
