Henri Castelli Exits 'BBB 26' on Medical Advice After Two Convulsive Episodes

The decision followed hospital evaluation and continued observation after a second crisis.

Overview

  • He first convulsed during the Leader’s Challenge, received on‑site care from the show’s medical team, and was taken to a hospital for tests.
  • After exams found no issues, he returned to the house but suffered a second convulsion minutes later and was readmitted for observation.
  • Tadeu Schmidt announced live that, on doctors’ recommendation, the actor will not continue in the competition, and Globo issued an official statement.
  • Family members said they were alarmed and that he is under observation, according to his team’s account of updates provided by Globo.
  • Coverage notes prior, documented facial sequelae from a 2020 assault—followed by surgeries and a 2025 R$55,000 damages ruling under appeal—though no cause for the crises was identified by the latest exams.
