William Valdés Breaks Silence After Univision 'Despierta América' Firing

Two days after William Valdés was fired from Univision's "Despierta América," the social media correspondent has finally broken his silence and released a statement about his axing. "To all my followers and general public, I want to thank you for your messages, your calls, but above all your time, that time that has made us into a great family," he wrote. "With you I have grown, shared moments of happiness, sadness, lived dreams that have come a reality, but above all to learn to assimilate that the show must go on."

"I thank Univision for this great opportunity for you to get to know me and that together will search for new and greater opportunities. I will soon tell you about my next project and I can hopefully count with your support." Valdés ended the statement with a heart emoji and the hashtag "never give up."

Earlier this year William Valdés broke down to tears on-air after he was confronted for a post on Instagram that showed he was not entirely happy as it seems. He did not disclose why he was feeling down, but his tears gave a lot away.

"Good morning, I am going to be very honest in this post. I am always showing the best of my life, my vacation, my outfits, my friends, my family, part of my job," he wrote on Instagram. "I have never showed my weak side, probably because I am the type of person that doesn't like to come off as weak or sad. Today I woke up sad, today I woke up without wanting to do something. I can't talk about the reason now, but I don't want to be the superficial person that I feel I am sometimes. I want to be me, and I think you are an important part of me. Today, I am sad. Today I am human, not a celebrity that has to fake his feelings. TODAY I AM ME."
