Rosalía Flees Cockroach During Rio Interview as Clip Goes Viral

The TV Globo Fantástico segment at Cristo Redentor unfolded during her LUX media tour.

Overview

  • During the taping in Rio de Janeiro, she jumped from her chair and left the set when a flying cockroach appeared, according to interviewer Ana Carolina Raimundi.
  • On camera she apologized—“Perdón, le tengo mucho miedo a los bichos”—then returned to her seat and the conversation resumed.
  • Fantástico shared the video on its social channels, and it quickly amassed wide circulation with memes, jokes and messages of empathy.
  • Reports described the insect as “enorme,” and reaction stayed lighthearted with no broader controversy or changes to her schedule.
