Galilea Montijo interrupted the nomination ceremony during a live broadcast of La Casa de los Famosos México to make a direct demand of the houseguests, according to Las Estrellas.
The host stepped in during the nomination segment on Thursday, August 20, 2026, to address the contestants in the house. Las Estrellas reports that Montijo stopped the proceedings to issue an on-air request, though the specific wording of her demand was not detailed in the available summary.
Mexican outlets Récord and El Universal also covered the moment, describing it as a stern scolding or a call to attention directed at the residents. Récord characterized the exchange as a "tremendo regaño" (a serious reprimand) delivered live to the participants.
The interruption drew a mixed response from viewers. MILENIO noted that some audience members criticized Montijo for the scolding, with one reaction quoted as "Qué horror que quieran pleitos" (roughly, "How awful that they want fights"). This suggests that while some viewers supported the host's intervention, others felt it was unwarranted or overly harsh.
The incident comes amid ongoing tension in the house, as Infobae reported that contestants Mariana and Yahir were the first to wake up that morning without exchanging a word. The same report indicated that nominated houseguests were actively seeking support to avoid elimination, adding to the charged atmosphere that may have prompted Montijo's interruption.
The broadcast continues, and viewers will be watching to see whether Montijo's live demand shifts the dynamics among the remaining contestants as the elimination vote approaches.
