  • Gala Montes returned as a surprise housemate in the fourth season of La Casa de los Famosos México, during a tense period for the contestants.
  • Television host Poncho de Nigris said Montes appeared emotionally vulnerable and argued that the show should not serve as a place to resolve personal problems.
  • De Nigris also questioned whether audience ratings had taken priority over Montes’s wellbeing.

Gala Montes returned to La Casa de los Famosos México two years after reaching the show’s final, entering as a surprise housemate in its fourth season. Her arrival came during one of the contestants’ tensest weeks, following arguments, complaints and the recent elimination of Flor Vigna.

Gala is not going through a good emotional moment; it is dangerous to expose her like this if they know she is not well.

· Poncho de NigrisHe questioned Montes’s return to the reality show in a post on X.

Montes rejoined the remaining participants, including Cynthia Klitbo, Memo Schutz, Gema Garoa, Ese Pérez, Yahir and Massad Altamimi. Her return quickly drew attention from Poncho de Nigris, who questioned whether a high-pressure reality-show environment was the right place for her at that moment.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the host said he was concerned about what he viewed as Montes’s emotional state. “Gala no anda pasando por un buen momento emocionalmente hablando; es peligroso que la expongan así si saben que no anda bien,” he wrote. In English, he said Montes was not going through a good emotional moment and that exposing her could be dangerous if producers knew she was unwell.

Go in to clean yourself up. Help her!

· Poncho de NigrisHe argued that the program should not be used to resolve Montes’s personal situation.

De Nigris called for greater empathy and said La Casa de los Famosos México should not be used to deal with a personal situation. “Entrar a limpiarte. Ayúdenla!”, he added, urging people to help her rather than treating the show as a place for her to sort herself out.

She is close to a psychotic break.

· Poncho de NigrisIn a second post, he described what he believed was Montes’s serious emotional vulnerability.

In a second post, he said the singer and actress was “a nada de un brote psicótico” and questioned whether maintaining the program’s audience levels had become the priority. He ended by asking, “¿En la guerra y en el amor todo se vale?”

In war and love, is everything fair?

· Poncho de NigrisHe questioned whether audience ratings were being prioritized over Montes’s wellbeing.
