La Adictiva faces transphobia accusations over treatment of Karina Torres
The musical group La Adictiva is facing intense social media backlash following their performance at the final party of the reality show ‘La Casa de los Famosos México’. Viewers accused the band's vocalists of transphobic behavior toward finalist Karina Torres.
During the event, spectators noted that while the band members greeted other female participants with kisses on the cheek or hugs, they only offered handshakes or fist bumps to Torres, a trans woman. This discrepancy led to widespread criticism on platforms such as X and Instagram, with some users calling for a boycott of the band's music on streaming services.
Content creator Paola Suárez publicly defended Torres, noting that the interaction appeared to visibly upset her friend. Suárez emphasized the importance of respecting gender identity and the legal recognition of Torres's identity.
