Controversies have emerged within the Mexican reality television program ‘La Casa de los Famosos México’ involving contestant Cynthia Klitbo.

Initially, Klitbo criticized fellow participant Flor Vigna for a perceived lack of contribution to household chores, labeling her “lazy” and criticizing her hygiene and eating habits. During this period, actor Alfredo Adame also commented on the cast, describing the environment surrounding Klitbo as “dark and toxic.” Following these tensions, Klitbo accused Vigna of age discrimination after being excluded from a mixed-gender team during a challenge titled ‘Operación Digital.’

During the elimination gala held on August 16, Arantza Ruiz became the third contestant eliminated from the competition. Ruiz was among the six nominees, which also included Vigna, Luis Chaparro, Masad Altamimi, Memo Schutz, and Yanet García; Vigna was confirmed to remain in the program. Ruiz was the final person to face the public vote, ultimately losing to Vigna.

In the wake of the interpersonal conflicts, Klitbo and Vigna attempted a reconciliation, with Klitbo admitting she had spoken poorly of Vigna. Additionally, actress Gala Montes expressed frustration on social media, claiming that production prevented her from attending the gala to support Vigna.
