Last Monday was extremely tense on 'Miss Universe Latina, the reality show' after an argument with the judges resulted in Zuleyka Rivera getting up from her seat and walking off the set in the middle of the broadcast.

Although it was expected that the Puerto Rican would be back on the reality show this Tuesday, this was not the case, which took many by surprise, but the decision had already been made.

On Tuesday, Jacky Bracamontes, the show's host, announced to viewers that the former Miss Universe will no longer be part of the production.

"As you can see, there is an empty seat at the captains' table. During last night's show (Monday), Zuleyka did not agree with the judges' comments and decided not to appear on the rest of the episode. I have to inform you, our audience, and especially the members of team 'Rubí' that Zuleyka will not continue in her position as captain. from 'Miss Universe Latina, the reality show,'” explained the Mexican presenter.

After this announcement, the young women, who were under her tutelage, could not hide their sadness and surprise, while Jacky continued with her announcement.

The presenter explained to them that they will not be left alone and that very soon they will have their new captain, so she asked them to remain calm.

"From here we wish her, of course, always the best, and to the candidates of the 'Rubí' team, we ask that you take this as just another of the challenges you will encounter on the road to the crown. You will have a new captain who will be announced very soon," said Jacky Bracamontes.

Zuleyka Rivera's departure, as expected, sparked debate on social media, as some sided with her, while many others criticized the position she adopted on Monday.

"Excellent for Zuleyka! Dignity is not negotiable," "She is looking for a Miss Universe, not a Our Latin Beauty," "Zuleyka is a true captain who defended her team from the judges' injustice ??", "The jury had to leave," "Zuleyka was rude and left her team alone," "I think it's a bit immature on Zuleyka's part," are just a few of the comments that arose after Zuleyka Rivera's departure.

So far, the beautiful Puerto Rican has not broken her silence about her departure from the show, but it wouldn't be surprising if she did at any moment.
