Peruvian actress and singer Flavia Laos broke down in tears during a recent episode of the Chilean reality show '¿Volverías con tu ex? 2' after accusing fellow contestants of physical aggression and verbal bullying.
The television personality stated that she reached her breaking point following repeated confrontations with other female participants while filming the series on location in the Peruvian jungle.
The latest conflict erupted after Argentine contestant Bárbara Muriel confronted Laos over her growing closeness with Luis Mateucci, who is Muriel's former partner. Mateucci had shown clear romantic interest in the Peruvian star, sparking jealousy among the cast.
During the confrontation, Muriel demanded that Laos, who previously dated television personality Austin Palao, stay out of her personal business and warned her that she did not know her.
Laos refused to stay silent, asking Muriel why she was treating her poorly and whether she was issuing a threat. She then dared Muriel to do whatever she wanted to see if she managed to stay on the show.
Physical altercations in the compound
The argument drew in several other female participants and heightened existing friction inside the compound. Laos complained about prior physical incidents, including an episode days earlier when Muriel pulled her hair following a fit of jealousy.
Laos also claimed that Muriel had stepped on her sneaker and reported that fellow contestants had pushed her while she was in the shower. In another dispute over kissing an ex-boyfriend, Laos questioned whether all the drama was really over a man.
Overwhelmed by the ongoing hostilities, Laos broke down weeping while speaking with Mateucci, telling him with a broken voice that the treatment was too much and that her castmates were saying everything to her.
Mateucci consoled the actress, reassuring her that the hostility from the other women was driven by pure envy over the attention she was receiving.
