Barrientos alluded to differing narratives surrounding the reasons for the exits, referencing claims of domestic abuse and relocation to the United states, and also a pre-existing contract for another reality television program. She also recounted a specific incident where she allegedly had a disagreement with Schmidt, involving a gesture towards Roberto Dueñas, which prompted Schmidt to leave abruptly.
