On Monday, March 10, 2025, Venezuelan model Aleska Génesis was arrested shortly after her elimination from the reality show La Casa de los Famosos All Stars. The arrest took place outside the filming site located near Huixquilucan, State of Mexico, executed by agents from the Fiscalía General de Justicia of Mexico City who had been waiting for her following the issuance of an arrest warrant.
The reasons behind her arrest are tied to unresolved legal issues stemming from allegations dating back to January 2024, when Aleska was implicated in the theft of high-end watches. According to journalist Javier Ceriani, who posted videos of the arrest, Aleska's situation has been exacerbated by her previous legal encounters, where she was detained at Mexico City International Airport for allegedly attempting to steal luxury watches destined for sale in Miami, Florida.
Upon exiting the show, Aleska was intercepted by the authorities and taken away in tears. The emotional intensity of her arrest was captured on video, where she was visibly shocked by the sudden turn of events. Javier Ceriani, who had previously warned of the potential for such legal repercussions, stated, "Les dije que tenía orden de aprehensión. Les dije que tenía que ver con los relojes, con Javier Rodríguez y todo lo que pasó también con sus hermanas," illustrating the complicated nature of the allegations surrounding her.
While her arrest has triggered widespread media coverage and public discourse, the legality of her situation remains murky. Previously, Aleska claimed to have been unjustly imprisoned when she stated, "Me metieron presa en la cárcel de Santa Marta, después tuve un juicio y el mismo juez se dio cuenta que Fiscalía había aprobado una orden de aprehensión sin pruebas. Por eso, ese mismo día me sentenció como inocente con libertad absoluta.” The model emphasized her intention to confront her legal battles head-on rather than evade them.
Despite her previous release, the situation escalated when Aleska found herself again entwined with allegations of wrongdoing, linking her to what is reportedly referred to as La Pandilla de las Castellanos. This group is allegedly involved with luxury item theft, and other individuals, including her sisters, have been mentioned as possibly being connected to the case.
The once glamorous life of Aleska has been overshadowed by legal troubles, and now, less than 24 hours post-elimination, she is confronted with new criminal charges and potential incarceration at the Santa Martha Acatitla prison. Discussions around her case continue to evolve, with her attorney previously recommending she avoid travel to Mexico during this period.
While awaiting developments, Jimena Gállego, the host of La Casa de los Famosos, revealed Aleska’s scheduled media interview has been postponed until March 12, 2025. This delay adds to the intrigue surrounding Aleska’s circumstances as public curiosity mounts with each passing hour.
During the show, Aleska had already faced tense exchanges with fellow contestant Manelyk González, who accused her of seeking attention and being opportunistic. Such heated exchanges point to the dramatic tensions not only within the game but also reflecting real-life conflicts spilling over as Aleska grapples with the legal pressures weighing heavily on her shoulders.
Social media reactions have expressed surprise with many fans voicing their worry for Aleska, emphasizing the need for compassion rather than swift judgment. Comments from fellow contestants encourage the public to refrain from passing final judgment until all facets of the case are disclosed.
With the media spotlight on her arrest, Aleska’s future remains uncertain. Discussions concerning her potential for bail and the ramifications of her repeated entanglements with the law continue to bubble within public discourse. Aleska Génesis, once celebrated for her charm and talent, now risks being defined by the controversies surrounding theft allegations and her struggles against the legal system.
