Overview

• Bell posted an Instagram story telling followers to vote for Botas, a clip that quickly circulated across social platforms.
• Botas is one of seven nominees this week, with her continuation on the show to be decided by the audience in the August 24 gala.
• The endorsement follows Botas’s recent account on the show of a nightclub kiss with Bell in Mexico City, which her sister later described as a one-night romance.
• TV host Galilea Montijo previously said Bell asked production to remove content about the anecdote and threatened legal action, a claim that remains disputed as Bell later joked about the topic.
• Botas’s colleagues from Envinadas and her fans have mounted online campaigns urging votes, with reactions to Bell’s message ranging from supportive to skeptical.
