HotSpanish Denounces TikTok Hack, Hints at 'La Casa de los Famosos México'

Mexican content creator HotSpanish, whose real name is Roberto González Manzo, announced on Instagram that he lost control of his TikTok account, which boasts nearly 40 million followers. The 37-year-old reported on Wednesday that his account was stolen shortly after he posted a video announcing the second season of his YouTube reality show, "La Mansión VIP."

González explained that while the account remains active with all its videos, it currently lacks a profile picture and username. "Yesterday I uploaded a video that, apparently, a company didn't like," he stated. He believes the hack is connected to a recent TikTok video where he seemingly criticized Televisa's reality show "La Casa de los Famosos México." In the video, he depicted the show's creative team struggling for ideas, suggesting they adopted elements from his "La Mansión VIP."

"When 'La Mansión' was on, they went out to speak ill of me and my format. They said it wasn't working, that I wasn't doing things right... but now I find out there was a meeting to take ideas from what I was implementing," González said on Facebook. He is actively working to recover his account and clarified that this is not a publicity stunt. He has contacted platform employees to resolve the issue.

The video has garnered over a million views on TikTok, with users expressing support. HotSpanish also denied rumors of sabotage regarding the reveal of Karina Torres as a participant, stating, "I am not a person who plays dirty." He added, "What happened today made me understand many things."
