Gran Hermano Contestant Accuses Housemate of Bad Breath and Foot Odor

The on-camera allegation has led fellow players to distance themselves from the accused and raised concerns that Telefe’s broadcast could expose him to public mockery.

Overview

  • Luana Fernández told housemates on June 3 that a fellow contestant smelled of feet and had bad breath and said she could not be near him.
  • The player she named is Leandro Nigro, a repechage entrant who earlier faced a formal reprimand from the show for not engaging and was offered the option to leave through the ‘puerta giratoria’.
  • Housemates have reportedly given Nigro the 'vacío'—a social cold shoulder—because of the alleged odor, according to conversations captured on camera.
  • Luana suggested the breath issue could be medical (halitosis), but no independent medical confirmation has been reported.
  • Viewers and social media users warned that airing a personal hygiene claim on national television risks outside ridicule or harassment, while coverage also recalls production’s prior discipline and the contestants’ high public visibility.
