Santiago Matías Reveals Laura Bozzo’s Rejection from Reality Show

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Santiago Matías, producer and creator of “La casa de Alofoke,” disclosed that he rejected Peruvian television presenter Laura Bozzo‘s entry into the reality show. The decision stemmed from a disagreement over her weekly salary.

In an interview with communicator Francisca, Matías explained that Bozzo had initially signed a contract to join the second season of the show but demanded a specific weekly salary that he was not willing to pay.

“I believe that ‘La casa de Alofoke’ would have been a refresh or a relaunch for her career, and she knows that,” Matías said. “However, she wanted to charge a weekly amount, and I told her no. I can pay her, but it would be disrespectful to the other participants.”

He noted that contestants receive around $200 daily, but their primary gain comes from increased exposure. Some of them have reportedly gained over a million followers on social media in just 30 days due to the show.

<pMatías added, “La Fruta entered, who is the sensation. La Fruta would have stayed out because of Laura Bozzo; he signed the day before, on the 19th, and arrived on the 20th.”
