At one point in the show, host Irela Bravo suggested they fix her wig, to which she replied that she wasn’t wearing fake hair and to prove it, had her hair pulled.
“They said the same thing to me once on the street,” Bravo said.

Although the actress tried to hide her astonishment at the question, she could not prevent a nervous smile mixed with anger on her face because she wanted to broadcast aspects that only corresponded to her private life on public television.
Arroyo’s fiasco in an interview with someone she’s known since she was 14 had repercussions on social media, where several women defended Irela and denounced the machismo the program focused on.
Yadira Oliva, a member of the Facebook group Cuban Mothers for a Better World, has demanded a public apology from the TV presenter for his actions.

“Enough of enduring this disrespect to please anyone. The audience that admires artists, actresses and professionals wants to see how they talk about their projects, their lives,” wrote Oliva, who also urged other actresses not to participate in the program.
On Twitter, the user “Lis y ya…” labeled what happened on the show as “the end of time” while denouncing the indiscreet and inappropriate questions Irela Bravo was asked.
At the time of writing this note, Antonio Arroyo had not commented on the criticism leveled or apologized for his actions.
