Ivonne Montero addressed her public clash with Manelyk Gonzalez following the most recent assembly at La Granja VIP. The confrontation centered on Montero's role within the competition and her relationship with the team known as the Disfuncionales.
During the nomination process, Gonzalez selected Montero for a vote. She argued that the actress did not generate a reaction in her and questioned the progress Montero had shown since the start of the season. Gonzalez stated that she viewed Montero the same way she did during the first week of the program. She suggested that Montero should acknowledge her isolation and decide how to proceed.
Montero accepted her right of reply. She rejected the notion that she owed an explanation to Gonzalez for her actions. Montero asked, 'Who told you that I have to render accounts for the things I do?' She defended her personality and professional history while requesting that Gonzalez respect her turn to speak.
After the assembly, Montero discussed the incident with Rafael Mercadante. She defended her choice to remain with the Disfuncionales. She stated that her presence with the group was a personal decision. 'If I have wanted to stay there, it is because I want to be there,' she said.
Montero acknowledged that friction exists between her and some teammates. However, she argued that these differences did not prevent them from sharing a strategy. She listed alternative options available to her, including competing alone, proposing an alliance with Fernando, or joining a different group. She confirmed that she could choose to play by herself if she wished.
The actress emphasized that her method of performing is distinct from Gonzalez's style. She maintained that she would not alter her behavior to meet the expectations of her rival. Montero noted that she cannot sustain a conversation with Gonzalez for more than five minutes without tension. She concluded by saying, 'My way of shining is different.'
Mercadante listened to Montero's account and encouraged her to relax. He urged her to release the emotions from the conflict. The exchange highlighted the ongoing tension between the two participants as the show continues.
