Peruvian influencer Samahara Lobatón walked off the set of the international reality show La Prisión de Destino 2 after a heated argument with her former partner, Youna, who accused her of being a liar in front of the rest of the cast.
The clash was the second major flare-up involving Lobatón in a matter of days. It began during what was meant to be a relaxed afternoon by the pool with the other contestants and quickly escalated into one of the tensest moments of the season for the show's only two Peruvian cast members.
Dispute began over online hate
The argument started when Youna asked Lobatón's followers to stop sending hate messages on social media. He explained that he had originally asked that neither he nor Lobatón be targeted with hateful comments online, but that because followers of the mother of his daughter had kept attacking him, he had given his own fans permission to speak up in his defence. Lobatón confronted him over the remark, and the two soon found themselves at odds in front of their castmates.
The pair then left the pool and went inside the house to try to work through their differences privately. Lobatón, a former contestant on the reality show La Granja VIP Perú, asked Youna to publicly tell their followers to stop insulting them both online. He refused to do so.
Youna told her that she applauded disrespect and that, as far as he was concerned, the matter was finished, adding that his own team got upset too whenever he was attacked. He said that just as her supporters loved her and stood up for her, his own supporters loved him and defended him in the same way.
Youna accuses Lobatón of lying
Visibly angry, Youna reminded Lobatón that the two of them were no longer a couple and told her it should not matter to her who he flirted with on the show. He went on to claim that she had both a boyfriend and someone she was romantically linked to online back in Peru, despite her having told viewers publicly that she was single. Lobatón denied having a partner.
Youna said he was being made out to be the bad guy and the liar between the two of them. He said that when he had logged into her TikTok account to edit a video for her, he had come across things that did not look like they belonged to a simple friendship, and that people watching would eventually realise how much of a liar she was. Lobatón pushed back, saying the message in question had simply been sent to her and that she was not to blame for receiving it. She also told Youna that he never supported her in anything.
Lobatón walks off the show
Lobatón ultimately decided to leave La Prisión de Destino 2 altogether in order to give Youna space and put an end to the argument. Her fellow contestants tried to talk her out of it and get her to stay, but she did not change her mind and left the house.
An on-again, off-again pairing
Lobatón is the daughter of Melissa Klug, a well-known figure in Peruvian television, and previously appeared on the reality competition La Granja VIP Perú. Youna, a former barber and the father of her daughter, was diagnosed with leukemia months earlier, according to the report.
The latest clash came just days after Youna had already rebuffed Lobatón on the show. It also followed a separate incident on Saturday, August 23, in which Lobatón lost her temper with a Cuban contestant who had called her a "mueble," Spanish for a piece of furniture, and responded with a strong insult of her own.
