Overview

• According to host Galilea Montijo, Drake Bell called the production on August 15–16 to demand that videos of Mariana Botas’s nightclub account be removed or face a lawsuit.
• Bell’s public remarks in Mexico City struck a joking tone as he told reporters he “does not remember” the alleged 2024 encounter and described Botas as a friend.
• La Casa de los Famosos México producers have not said whether they will comply with Bell’s removal request or contest his threat.
• Mariana Botas first shared on La Casa de los Famosos that she and Bell kissed repeatedly during a Mexico City club outing, a confession that quickly went viral.
• Social media users and news outlets remain split over the veracity of Botas’s story and the potential legal and privacy issues raised by Bell’s demand.
