Romina Uhrig Says She Battled Addiction After 'Gran Hermano,' Details Two Months in Recovery

Sudden fame with a painful separation left her vulnerable to nightlife and substance use.

Overview

  • In new interviews on Infama and Se Picó, the 2022 finalist disclosed she fell into pills and MD/MDMA use after leaving the reality show.
  • She described relying on those substances to go out and said she grew irritable when she could not obtain them.
  • Uhrig linked her descent to intense media scrutiny and her breakup with Walter Festa, citing a person from the entertainment scene who first offered her drugs.
  • She reported depression and panic attacks and said a psychiatrist, contacted through a friend, prescribed treatment that helped stabilize her.
  • Uhrig said she has stayed away from that environment for about two months, crediting her daughter Mía, her faith, and professional care; separate reports note she promotes an OnlyFans account at $20 per month.
