Aarón Mercury Faces Outcry for Calling Abuse Victims 'Complicit' on Reality Show

Contestants challenged him by pointing to manipulation and dependency that limit victims' choices.

Overview

  • The exchange unfolded on La Casa de los Famosos México during a discussion with Elaine Haro and Mariana Botas, with Facundo and Aldo de Nigris present.
  • Mercury asserted, “Te vuelves cómplice porque lo permites,” and later told Dalilah Polanco that people seek partners who repeat violent patterns.
  • Haro argued that emotional manipulation prevents fully informed decisions, while Botas emphasized that economic reliance can trap people in abusive relationships.
  • De Nigris aligned with Haro and Botas, saying that allowing aggression to continue does not make a person complicit.
  • Clips of the conversations went viral on TikTok and Twitter, where many users labeled Mercury’s comments irresponsible, offensive, and revictimizing.
