Shortly after the cut of her show by Star, Nicoletta Ralli spoke on the site of Nikos Eftaxias, alltrends.gr, for the Eleonora Study, Eleni Menegaki but also for the attitude of the channel towards her.
With the journalist commenting that the Kato Kifissia canal supported her and promoted her a lot, the young presenter, where, as she explained, remains an employee at the station and is still being paid, did not hesitate to answer: "I do not agree with you at all. Unfortunately I really fell into a very bad period and the channel couldn't deal with just one person and one concept, he had other concerns and it is perfectly normal when people with families work and cuts and redundancies have to be made due to these circumstances. You are hugely wrong that there was terrible promotion in my face, I didn't feel that for a moment. However, I didn't feel that they had written me down, we made the extra effort, the made in star team, and from then on we had everything we needed".
Subsequently, she was asked if she feels pissed off with Eleonora Meleti: "I don't see that he took my place. If it wasn't Eleonora it would be someone else. (…) Eleonora is a girl who did well what she did in the morning, and now they are given the opportunity to do so at noon. Of course, the audience is different in the morning and different at noon, nothing to do with it and Eleonora knows this too if you ask her. One cannot imagine that the world is sitting by the 7 in the morning and until 4 at noon and watches TV" he replied, while regarding Eleni Menegaki he commented: "You think that Eleni Menegaki was expected by the world to see her this year in the noon zone; Helen exists 18-20 years on television. It was always there as a name. And don't see her at breakfast, you say “Sit down and let me see Menegaki, guys”. You also put Eleni on mute, you see a nice woman with a nice studio, it makes a very beautiful picture".
End, reported: "I want to tell you something else, which people probably don't know because of course people don't care about viewership numbers. The problem with live shows is not even Eleni Menegaki, nor Eleonora Meleti. First, five places ahead, they are the repeat series that were filmed twenty years ago, then there are the news bulletins and then there are the live shows. If people prefer to see Konstantinos and Elenis than to see Meletis, the problem lies elsewhere and the channel should look elsewhere. We keep talking about Eleonora Meleti and Eleni Menegaki, when in fact she is neither of the first two".
