Biography

Sainz grew up in a family with three siblings in Mexico City, Mexico, all of them brothers, one her twin. Although Sainz was an athletic tomboy active in a number of sports (she became a black belt in taekwondo at the age of 14, competing in national competitions) Sainz's mother, a homemaker, wanted her to be more feminine, and encouraged her to enter professional modeling,[4] which she did, shooting commercials for such companies as Bacardi, Hoteles Misión, and Telcel.[5]

Controversy

In 2010 the TV Azteca reporter sought an interview with then NY Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, and she had been standing on the sidelines during practice when Jets players and coaches appeared to throw footballs in her direction. Later, as she waited in the locker room to conduct an interview with Sanchez, she was reportedly the target of lewd comments from players and staff. She tweeted in Spanish: "I'm so uncomfortable! I'm in the Jets locker room waiting for Mark Sanchez and trying not to look around me." And a few moments later, she wrote, "I want to cover my ears." Media persons reported that team members made "catcalls and rude comments".[26] According to Sainz, it was "the rest of the media start to hear the different kind of things that I didn't hear."[26] She accepted a personal apology from Jets owner Woody Johnson when those incidents became known to him.

In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Sainz lost a contract to be the spokesperson for a Mexican bank, which she said was "very painful" for her;[27] however, she said that the publicity resulting from the event also led her to become "the most popular journalist right now in Mexico and Latin America."[8]
