Jiles left TVN in 2001,and began working as celebrity critic in Vértigo (Canal 13) in 2004,where she –along with JoséMiguel Villouta and Gloria Simonetti –coined the term "opinólogo" (opinologist),to name those who talk about celebrities on television. [4]

In February 2009,Jiles announced her presidential candidacy in The Clinic ,a left-leaning satirical Chilean magazine,using "Somos millones los Jiles" (We are millions of Jiles –in Spanish the similar-sounding giles means idiots) as her slogan. [6] [7] In July 2009,Alejandro Navarro,the Broad Social Movement candidate,announced his presidential candidacy in company of Jiles;this was interpreted to mean that Jiles withdrew her candidacy,but she later denied it on her website.

In November 2017,representing the Humanist Party in conjunction with the political coalition "Frente Amplio",Jiles won the Chamber of Deputies elections on her respective district (District 12) along with another six candidates,including Camila Vallejo. [10]
