Mario ‘Mono’ Osuna faces controversy on La Granja VIP

Mario ‘Mono’ Osuna, a former footballer participating in the reality show ‘La Granja VIP’, is facing significant controversy following confrontations with fellow contestant Niurka Marcos and allegations of animal mistreatment.

During a recent assembly, Niurka Marcos nominated Osuna, accusing him of being “machista and misogynistic” and an “offender of women.” Despite the nomination, Osuna was saved from the upcoming elimination round after Azalia Ojeda used her salvation benefit to keep him in the competition.

Simultaneously, Osuna has faced digital backlash following allegations of animal mistreatment involving ‘Tlacoyo,’ a rescue dog featured on the program. Clips circulating on TikTok appear to show the dog yelping near Osuna in a bedroom, leading to public demands for an investigation and disciplinary action by TV Azteca. Animal protection organizations have noted that such behaviors can serve as warning signs for interpersonal violence.
