Gala Montes' Mother Condemns Reality Show for Exposing Her Daughter: 'Her Integrity and Dignity Could Be at Risk'

Gala Montes' return to La casa de los famosos México has drawn her mother into the public debate. Crista Montes said she opposes the way the actress is being exposed inside the reality show and questioned the production's responsibility toward its contestants.

In a message posted on social media, Crista acknowledged that her daughter is an adult and said she respected Gala's decision not to accept her help or seek contact with her for now. She nevertheless said that distance had not removed her concern for Gala's well-being.

“

As a mother, I want to express that I do not agree with the way Gala is being exposed. I know she is an adult and I respect that, for now, she does not want to receive my help or have contact with me; however, that does not eliminate my concern for her well-being.

A production also has a responsibility to care for its artists. Not everything should become a spectacle: neither Gala nor anyone else should be exposed when their integrity and dignity may be at risk. Humanity must come before ratings.

She also said the production had a duty to care for its artists and warned against turning every situation into entertainment. "A production also has a responsibility to care for its artists.

Gala entered the competition on Sunday after Argentine contestant Flor Vigna left. Her arrival prompted discussion on social media about her health and mental state. Gala had already appeared on the program's second Mexican season in 2024, finishing third. The renewed attention comes against a backdrop of years of estrangement between mother and daughter, public disputes involving Gala's sister, and claims concerning possible addiction problems. Former contestant Poncho De Nigris also said Gala needed help and warned that placing her in the show while she was emotionally unwell could be dangerous.

Gala is not going through a good emotional moment, and it is dangerous to expose her like this if they know she is not well. People need to be more empathetic. She is coming from excesses, and the house is not a place to enter to get clean. Help her.
