Flor Vigna fires Lau Styling after comments about Mexicans; "Values are not negotiable", says

Flor Vigna has terminated her collaboration with stylist Lau Styling following controversial remarks made by the latter during the aftermath of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The incident unfolded on Tuesday, after the Argentine actress publicly condemned the comments made by the stylist, who had participated in her appearance on La Casa de los Famosos Mexico 4. On Sunday, July 19, 2026, after the match between Argentina and Spain, Lau Styling posted a video on Instagram in which she criticized Mexican fans for celebrating Spain’s victory. In the clip, she stated, “All Mexicans say ‘Spain won,’ but were you even in the final? Not even in the quarterfinals, you’re all sons of bitches.” The comment sparked outrage among users on digital platforms, leading to widespread condemnation. In response to the backlash, Lau Styling later issued a statement on her Instagram account, asserting that the remarks were taken out of context and that they were meant to discuss football rather than the people or the country itself. She claimed, “People misinterpret everything because of football. Nothing to do with it, one thing is football and another is the people... I love Mexico, it's my second country... All I do is talk about football, not the people or the country.” However, this explanation did not quell the controversy. A second video surfaced in which Lau Styling referred to Mexican fans as “resentful,” stating, “Today I stopped following 10 Mexicans, I didn’t know we hated each other so much, this resentment you have, you didn’t even make it to the quarterfinals... I’m fed up.” The video further fueled public anger, particularly among Mexican social media users who viewed the comments as deeply offensive. Flor Vigna, through her own Instagram account, released a formal statement condemning the remarks. She declared, “I completely disagree with everything she said. NEVER will I agree with insults and attacks. As I don’t want to be complicit in such horrible statements, I paid anyway, but asked her to step down from the team.” She added, “For me, loving where you were born means HONORING WITH EDUCATION your values. And within these values is GRATITUDE towards those who gave you work, opportunities, and home... VALUES DO NOT GET NEGOTIATED.” The decision to end their professional relationship came shortly after the release of her statement. It was confirmed that Lau Styling would no longer be part of Flor Vigna’s team during the fourth season of La Casa de los Famosos. This move marks a clear break between the two individuals, highlighting the severity of the situation and the impact of the comments on their working relationship. Lau Styling, known for her work with several celebrities appearing on the show, has faced increasing scrutiny over her public remarks. Her comments, while framed as a critique of football fans, were perceived by many as racially charged and disrespectful toward Mexican culture and identity. The fallout has led to calls for accountability and a broader discussion about the responsibilities of public figures in mixed cultural contexts. As the situation continues to unfold, both parties remain silent on further developments. However, the incident underscores the potential consequences of inflammatory language in high-profile settings, especially when it involves cross-cultural interactions. The resolution of this conflict will likely depend on how the involved parties choose to address the ongoing tensions and reputational damage.
