Peruvian influencer Samahara Lobatón clashed with Cuban influencer CubaCuba on the Miami reality show La Prisión de Destino 2, after he called her a "piece of furniture" while she was resting and questioned what she was contributing to the competition.
Lobatón entered the show, where she is living alongside several other social media figures, including Youna, her former partner and the father of her daughter. The confrontation with CubaCuba marked her first major clash inside the program.
The 'mueble' comment
In the early days of the competition, CubaCuba pointed at Lobatón as she rested on one of the pieces of furniture where the contestants gather, asking the other competitors to look at the "piece of furniture" and what it was contributing. He then repeated the comment, this time shouting it directly at her, prompting her to get up and confront him.
As she stood, CubaCuba kept pressing her, asking what she was contributing. Lobatón warned him that if he touched her she would have him removed from the show, telling him he had rules to follow and that he should not touch her, adding that she did not work at his pace. The exchange took place during the program's 24/7 live broadcast.
CubaCuba continued calling her a "piece of furniture," and Lobatón answered firmly, saying she was the most expensive piece of furniture there was and that it could take it, repeating that she did not work at his pace before lying back down. The other participants looked on in surprise as the confrontation unfolded.
Samahara Lobatón is Melissa Klug's daughter
Lobatón is the daughter of Melissa Klug, a well-known figure in Peruvian entertainment. She has built her own profile as a content creator and television personality, and her appearance on La Prisión de Destino 2 has drawn attention in Peru partly because Youna, her ex-partner and the father of her daughter, is also a contestant on the show.
Users praise Lobatón online
Footage of the confrontation quickly spread on social media, where users praised Lobatón for standing up to CubaCuba and refusing to let his comments go unanswered. Many commenters said she had shown she knew how to defend herself against the provocation.
Among the messages of support, users wrote comments telling her to make clear who she was, warning that others still did not know who they were dealing with, urging her not to be afraid or to let anyone push her around, and praising her for representing Peruvian women with pride.
