Overview

• On Viajando con Chester, Morente defended bullfighting as an art form rooted in Spanish culture and said she is “enamored” of the animal and moved by a well-executed faena.
• Mejide condemned bullfighting as animal torture, argued it should be illegal and accused its defenders of relying on fallacies.
• The debate peaked when Morente called Mejide “ignorant,” prompting him to counter that falsehoods are worse than ignorance before she issued an apology to de-escalate.
• Morente criticized former OT 2020 contestant Nia for not acknowledging her advance warning about the pro-taurine introduction she added to their duet.
• She warned that honesty is essential for artists and suggested that Nia’s failure to defend her stance could jeopardize future bookings.
