After numerous allusions and a huge debate online regarding the incident that occurred after midnight between Mateo, who "unexpectedly" kissed Brikena on the lips, an official reaction has come from the latter's Instagram account, managed by her family.
In a statement published on InstaStory, the family categorically denied any accusations of violence or inappropriate behavior on Mateo's part. According to them, the situation has been misinterpreted and amplified by the pressure of the cameras and the long isolation inside the house.
They have explained that the reaction of Brikena, who withdrew and locked herself in the toilet in a heavy emotional state, is a natural reaction in a moment of embarrassment. The statement emphasizes that every girl can feel embarrassed in certain situations, but unlike everyday life, in this case everything happens under constant observation, which makes the reaction even stronger.
Family members have also emphasized Brikena's lack of experience with public exposure, adding that the days of isolation and psychological pressure are significantly affecting the emotional state of the residents.
At the same time, they have come to Mateo's defense, describing the negative comments online as unfair and malicious. According to them, it is a situation between two young people who are experiencing emotions in an unusual environment.
