Ester Exp\u00f3sito has spoken out firmly against the backlash she faced after appearing in Bad Bunny\u2019s \u201ccasita\u201d during one of his concerts at Madrid\u2019s Estadio Metropolitano. The Spanish actress defended her right to enjoy reggaeton and challenged the criticism she received on social media. <\/p>\n
The controversy erupted when Exp\u00f3sito danced briefly alongside Bad Bunny in the \u201ccasita,\u201d a special area within the show that has become a highlight of the Puerto Rican artist\u2019s Spanish tour. The clip quickly went viral, sparking debate about the guest selection and the exclusivity of that space during a massive concert. <\/p>\n
Exp\u00f3sito first addressed the issue during the 40th anniversary event of Desigual, the brand she represents as an ambassador. She emphasized that the focus should not be on a two-second dance but rather on the societal gaze cast on women who choose to have fun freely. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was really fun, we gave it our all. If you\u2019re invited, you go, right? It\u2019s a super fun concert where you know you\u2019re going to have a good time. I think the problem isn\u2019t a two-second dance. The problem is the gaze. It\u2019s the judgment from a very misogynistic part of society and from people who use social media to hurt others. That\u2019s part of the problem, and that\u2019s what we need to highlight when situations like this happen. It upset me, I\u2019m sorry,\u201d Exp\u00f3sito told reporters during the Desigual anniversary. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, she will return to the topic on *Al cielo con ella*, Henar \u00c1lvarez\u2019s show on La 1. RTVE released a preview of the interview where Exp\u00f3sito is ready to respond to the criticism following her appearance in the \u201ccasita.\u201d When \u00c1lvarez asks how she handled \u201cthe mess with the casita,\u201d Exp\u00f3sito smiles, rolls up her sleeves, and replies with a laughing \u201cfinally.\u201d From there, she frames the debate around freedom, feminism, and public judgment. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is this old-fashioned puritanism? Of course you can be a feminist and enjoy reggaeton and dance \u2018perrear hasta el suelo\u2019 if you want. Absolutely. There are many of us, in fact, but I thought this was an old debate that was already settled. What really seems like the height of hypocrisy is when they appropriate our discourse to take away our freedom, to tell us how to be good women, what music we should like, and how we should dance it. No, sorry,\u201d Exp\u00f3sito asserts. <\/p>\n
Some criticism of Bad Bunny\u2019s \u201ccasita\u201d has focused on the guest selection system, accusing the space of projecting an overly exclusive image within a large-scale event. During the Puerto Rican star\u2019s concerts in Spain, the \u201ccasita\u201d has become almost a parallel event to the main show. Notable figures such as Lamine Yamal, Marcelo, \u00darsula Corber\u00f3, Paco Le\u00f3n, Mar\u00eda Le\u00f3n, Carmen Machi, Javier Ambrossi, Javier Calvo, Hiba Abouk, and Marta Ortega have all passed through this exclusive zone. <\/p>\n
Exp\u00f3sito\u2019s stance highlights ongoing tensions around women\u2019s freedom to enjoy music and public spaces without judgment\u2014a conversation that resonates beyond the \u201ccasita\u201d and into broader cultural debates about feminism, social media, and public scrutiny.<\/p>\n
