Labrador Expelled From 'La Casa de los Gemelos 2' Over Assault on Drag Performer

The Ramos brothers frame the decision as enforcing a zero‑tolerance policy toward homophobic and transphobic conduct.

Overview

  • During a tense dinner exchange, Labrador threw food at Cherilyn Divine and yanked off the drag performer's wig, according to the broadcast footage.
  • Security intervened immediately and removed the contestant, and the show's creators then announced his summary expulsion from the house.
  • Daniel and Carlos Ramos told contestants the behavior reflected real homophobic and transphobic hostility rather than performative conflict.
  • Social media reaction was split, with supporters of the expulsion and critics who pointed to perceived inconsistencies with earlier incidents that drew no expulsions.
  • The YouTube-streamed program touts large audiences—about 300,000 on average with peaks near 770,000 by platform figures not independently audited—and it has a record of controversy that includes a first edition canceled after nine hours.
