Model and presenter Alba Carrillo abruptly left the TEN TV program ‘El Sótano Club’ during its second season, causing internal tension and the emergency suspension of a scheduled broadcast. While Carrillo cited personal reasons for her departure, the exit triggered a public dispute with colleague Marta Riesco. Riesco issued a statement on social media denying Carrillo’s claims, asserting, “Nothing she has said is true.”

Following the departure, Marta Riesco debuted as the new presenter for the program. The production company, Dollhouse, reported that Carrillo informed management of her intention to leave on October 14, and that a tense incident on set on October 15 led to the cancellation of the October 16 broadcast to ensure production stability. In response to the transition, Carrillo has announced intentions to pursue legal action concerning data protection and the disclosure of private documents.
