The family of Congolese participant Mavinga filed a criminal complaint against Carmiña, a Paraguayan former contestant on Gran Hermano 2026, for racist comments. Mavinga's husband, Damián, rejected Carmiña's apologies during a live confrontation. The lawyer seeks to ban Carmiña from leaving the country so she can answer in Argentina.
Amid the 2026 edition of Gran Hermano, a racist incident has escalated to legal action. Carmiña, a Paraguayan journalist and former contestant on the reality show, was expelled after making racist comments directed at Mavinga, the Congolese participant. According to reports, these remarks occurred inside the house and sparked significant controversy.
Mavinga's husband, Damián, filed a criminal complaint against Carmiña for these comments. During a live broadcast, Damián confronted the former contestant directly, rejecting her apologies. "I did not accept the apologies," he stated in the exchange aired on television.
Mavinga's lawyer confirmed the legal action and announced plans to request Argentine courts to prohibit Carmiña from leaving the country. "We want her to answer for her actions on Argentine soil," the attorney explained, stressing the need for the Paraguayan to address the allegations locally.
This episode highlights racial tensions in the program, which has faced prior criticism for similar dynamics. Gran Hermano's production has not issued official comments, but the case remains under judicial review.
