Former Gran Hermano contestant exposes private messages from Costa

Hernán ‘El Negro’ Ontivero, a former participant of Gran Hermano 2023, has sparked social media controversy after sharing a screenshot of a private interaction with media personality Costa.

Ontivero posted the image to his Instagram stories, showing that Costa had reacted to one of his posts with a fire emoji. He captioned the post, ‘The things one finds if one starts checking, look at that,’ implying a potential romantic interest.
