Lolita Cortés Leaves 'La Granja VIP' Over Anxiety as Jawy Méndez Is Eliminated After Public Vote

Producers kept the scheduled public vote despite her exit, drawing fresh scrutiny of contestant welfare.

Overview

  • During the Nov. 9 gala, Cortés asked on air to withdraw, saying she needed medical care and could no longer continue.
  • She stated she has an anxiety disorder that triggers claustrophobia and severe panic attacks, which she said were intensified by the show's confinement.
  • The production maintained the elimination process, with Alfredo Adame and Alberto “El Patrón” del Río saved by the audience and Jawy Méndez announced as the fourth contestant eliminated.
  • This week’s nomination slate was shaped when Eleazar Gómez used a 'traición' power to save Manola Díez and replace her with Jawy Méndez.
  • A leaked list circulating on social media claims a $50,000 penalty for voluntary exits, but producers have not confirmed any fine.
