The finale of ‘La Casa de los Famosos México 2’ is approaching! Galilea Montijo, host of the reality show, announced on the program ‘Hoy’ that the finale will be on September 29.
In recent days, the format has faced various accusations and sponsorship losses. The most recent is the departure of YouTuber Adrián Marcelo, who left the program two days after making a controversial comment about women.
The controversy began when Adrián Marcelo, in a moment of tension within the reality show, expressed a questionable phrase: “one less woman to mistreat,” upon learning that three women were at risk of elimination.
This comment sparked a wave of indignation on social media and led to a confrontation with host Odalys Ramírez during Tuesday’s gala. The situation escalated with an argument with Gala Montes, which led to Marcelo’s decision to leave the show in the early hours of the morning.

With the departure of Adrián Marcelo, the number of participants is reduced to eight: Gala Montes, Karime Pindter, Briggitte Bozzo, Arath de la Torre, Mario Bezares, Ricardo Peralta, Sian Chiong and Agustín Fernández.
These eight inhabitants will have to face each other in the next three elimination rounds before the final. Only five of them will make it to the last stage of the reality show, where they will compete for the prize of 4 million pesos (approximately 200,000 dollars).
