MasterChef Celebrity Faces New Mistreatment Allegations as Judge Martitegui Denies Any Abuse

Recent TV interviews from former contestants accuse the show of favoritism, grueling shoots and unkept promises.

Overview

  • Jorge “Roña” Castro alleged the competition is fixed, claiming host Wanda Nara decides who stays, and said he endured filming days of eight to eleven hours.
  • Castro also stated that promised visits by Nara and the judges to cook at his charitable kitchens have not happened.
  • Esteban Mirol said he felt mistreated, described uneven judging standards and “protected” contestants, and cited seeing others mistreated.
  • Momi Giardina confirmed she had an anxiety or panic episode and saw a psychiatrist after entering the show, stressing it was a personal issue rather than something caused by staff.
  • Juror Germán Martitegui rejected the accusations, objected to the use of the word “mistreatment,” and defended the production, with no independent inquiry or formal corrective action reported.
