Did she speak badly about Anitta? Participant saved on 'Estrelas da Casa' explains tension with singer and shows controversial VT

On Thursday night, the 3rd, the "Estrela da Casa" program was marked by a moment of tension when Anitta, the reality show's mentor, needed to save a candidate and, consequently, eliminate another participant from the competition. The situation generated tension between the artist and Bruna Bento, one of the program's participants.

During the announcement of her decision, Anitta joked saying she would save a participant who saw a VT talking badly about her. The singer added with humor: "I'm going to save a girl who I saw in a VT talking badly about me. So, the next time you talk badly about me, I won't save you. I'll send you straight to the slammer (laughs). Just kidding, I'm joking... More or less (laughs)", before confirming the choice of Bruna Bento.

On social media, Bruna Bento's team clarified the situation and shared the segment of the program cited by Anitta. In the video, the pagode singer comments on the criticisms made by the mentor about the participants and states that Anitta has a "whip tongue", referring to the format of the program's challenges.

Bruna's team wrote a statement asking fans to remain calm: "Alright, loves. Here we work with whip challenges. Here's the VT to clarify this whole story. Lots of peace, lots of 'balance'. So let's just stay at peace", ending the controversy with a lighthearted tone.
