Overview
- The confrontation erupted during a nixtamalization lesson after a bucket of corn fell, with Alfredo Adame saying Manola Díez let go and Alberto del Río (El Patrón) stepping in to defend her.
- Raised voices quickly turned into insults and threats, with both men trading accusations such as calling each other a coward and challenging one another to back up their words.
- Contestants Eleazar Gómez, Kike Mayagoitia, La Bea and Kim Shantal, along with instructor Cristóbal, intervened to keep the dispute from becoming physical.
- During the exchange, Adame brought up El Patrón’s 2020 arrest; coverage notes he was exonerated in 2021 after the complaint was withdrawn.
- The incident circulated widely on social media with viewers taking sides, and the show has not confirmed whether sanctions will follow.
