Tension in the reality show ‘La Granja VIP Perú’ has reached a new peak following Jesús Barco’s threats towards Mark Vito, after a confrontation between Vito and Melissa Klug. During his participation in the program, Barco expressed his desire to have assaulted Vito, stating: “I grab a bottle and smash it on his temple, and I would be happy.” These statements have generated strong backlash both inside and outside the show.
The incident occurred in an already conflict-laden environment, where arguments among participants are becoming increasingly common. Barco’s reaction has sparked a debate on social media, particularly regarding the apparent minimization of the legal consequences of his words. His elimination from the reality show on April 4 has only intensified the controversy surrounding his behavior.
Leslie Echevarría, Mark Vito’s partner, also reacted with indignation to Barco’s threats. In her statements, she questioned the seriousness of the situation, emphasizing that “Melissa was the one who assaulted Mark” and criticizing Barco’s stance, which has heightened the climate of controversy in the program.
