Manuel Ibero, a contestant on the reality show Gran Hermano Generación Dorada, has set a negative record as the first participant in the show's history to lose followers on social media immediately following his entrance. This unusual situation has been worsened by a legal gag order imposed on him by his ex-partner, Zoe Bogach, just hours after he joined the show, restricting his public comments about her and further complicating his ability to engage with fans or manage his image.

The revelation of Ibero's decline in popularity was shared during a live stream of the show La jugada, hosted by Fede Popgold, Mica Viciconte, and Daniela Celis. They reported a significant decrease in Ibero's official Instagram account, which fell from 245,000 followers shortly after he entered the house, reflecting public sentiment and the impact of his controversial remarks regarding Bogach. The social media backlash against Ibero seems to be a direct response to his handling of the breakup and his endeavors to navigate life in the public eye amidst ongoing scrutiny.

This incident highlights the intense pressures and social media dynamics reality show contestants face, particularly in Argentine culture, where public interest can drastically sway based on personal relationships and public behaviors. It serves as a cautionary tale for contestants who often rely on their social media presence for maintaining relevance and audience support.
