Henri Castelli Removed From ‘BBB 26’ on Medical Advice After Two Seizure Episodes

Doctors ordered his withdrawal following a second seizure despite unremarkable initial tests.

Overview

  • Castelli suffered a convulsion during the first Prova do Líder after roughly nine hours, fell into a ball pit, received on-site care and was taken to a hospital in Curicica for exams.
  • He briefly returned to the house once tests showed no abnormalities, then experienced a second seizure and was taken back to the hospital to remain under observation.
  • Tadeu Schmidt announced the decision live on the broadcast, noting Castelli is conscious and well but will not continue in the competition.
  • TV Globo emphasized its medical protocols and relayed a message from Castelli to the housemates, with the actor thanking them and sending regards.
  • Doctors are reviewing the cause of the episodes; some outlets recalled his 2020 facial injuries and 2025 damages ruling, but no medical link has been confirmed, and his family was informed he is well under observation.
