Álvaro Ballero sparks controversy on Chilean reality show “¿Volverías con tu ex?”

Álvaro Ballero ignited a heated debate on Mega’s reality series “¿Volverías con tu ex?” after comparing contestant Ludmida Ksenofontova to a former girlfriend, prompting a sharp rebuttal from the Russian skater. In the same episode, participant Christopher Peral disclosed that he suffered sexual abuse as a child, describing the lasting trauma and his eventual recovery. Ballero also addressed rumors about his 2022 departure from Canal 13, denying any dismissal for alleged mistreatment and labeling the claims as false. A preview released by Mega showed a dramatic reunion between Raimundo Cerda and Faloon Larraguibel, alongside other confrontations and a surprise box arrival. Fellow contestant Luis Mateucci publicly criticized Ballero’s behavior as “machista,” citing his social‑media conduct and personal remarks. Additionally, former footballer Nicolás Solabarrieta recounted a night spent with contestant Flavia Laos, adding further intrigue to the show’s ongoing drama.
