Flor Vigna is once again in the eye of the storm. This time, the 24/7 cameras of La Casa de los Famosos Mexico 2026 caught her during a conversation with her housemate Yanet García, in which she revealed that she did not consider the reality show to be "elite."
However, what bothered the reality show's fans was that she used the phrase "muerto de hambre" (starving/broke) to refer to the production.
Here we tell you what the Argentine singer, actress, and influencer said about the reality show and how her team responded following the controversy on social media.
Why did Flor Vigna call La Casa de los Famosos "starving"?
During the Movie Night dynamic on Tuesday, August 18, in which the production shows the residents compilation videos of private conversations or moments to confront them, Flor Vigna commented on the appearance of the reality show and expressed that she felt it was of low quality.
"I thought the product itself looked more expensive," the Argentine confessed to her housemate Yanet García. "The product refers to the reality show, I thought it looked more expensive, it looks more 'starving'."
Yanet García asked her to explain what she meant and asked if she was talking about the quality.
The Argentine replied that she thought the reality show was not "elite," after seeing the inside of the confessional, a private room in La Casa de los Famosos where the residents speak to 'La Jefa' (The Boss) and make their nominations.
What did Flor Vigna's team say about the controversy?
Flor Vigna's statements quickly went viral on social media, where hundreds of users criticized the words the Argentine used to refer to the reality show.
Following the controversy, her team shared a statement on social media claiming that Argentine expressions do not have the same meaning or weight as they do in Mexico.
"Expressions in Argentina and Mexico can be different; we understand that in other countries there are words that are a strong insult, but for Argentines, it is a way of expressing themselves without as much weight or with different meanings depending on how you say it. We sincerely apologize to those who misunderstood her words."
This is how social media reacted to Flor Vigna's comments
After the publication of the statement by Flor Vigna's team, some users were annoyed and asserted that the expression "starving" has the same meaning in both Mexico and Argentina.
Other users pointed out that Flor's comment had been derogatory and questioned what she was doing in the country if she felt that way about the Mexican production that was paying her a salary.
Among the highlighted comments are:
- “Si tan muerto de hambre es el reality porque no se quedó en Argentina? Que diga gracias a que en el reality que ella llama muerto de hambre come sus 3 comidas al día”.
- “¿O sea que en Argentina podemos decir ‘muerto de hambre’ sin que sea insulto?”
- “No mija sino hablamos diferentes idiomas decir muerto de hambre aquí, en España o Argentina es ofensivo”.
- “El contexto fue 100% claro. Lo dijo de forma peyorativa y minimizando el formato estando ahí, cobrando un sueldo y en país ajeno. No hay justificación alguna. La regó y punto”.
- “¿Ora que ‘muerto de hambre’ significa otra cosa en su país? Siempre justificándose... Lo correcto hubiera sido pedir disculpas, pero ni su equipo es lo suficientemente valiente para eso”.
