Overview
- Rosa López posted a video on Instagram criticizing how she and other former contestants have been treated and paid, and she said she may refuse some invitations to 25th‑anniversary events.
- Organizers responded on television by saying there is no confirmed gala yet and that artists are paid when they are invited, presenting a different account of past arrangements.
- The dispute has raised fresh uncertainty about who will appear at the planned reunion and about what form any celebration will take, since no date or final lineup has been fixed.
- López remains a high‑profile figure from the show's first season whose absence would have emotional and publicity effects, because she retains strong audience support despite a quieter recording career.
- The public exchange could force clearer terms on appearance fees and artist treatment for future OT events and may prompt closer scrutiny of how reunion productions negotiate with former contestants.
