The social media star was among the most popular housemates this season in the Mexican version of Celebrity Big Brother. However, days before the grand finale, Aaron Mercury got evicted, leaving many of his fans disappointed. Many viewers alleged fraud, citing the reality star’s massive social media following.

During a chat with El Universal, Aaron Mercury denied the conspiracy theories around injustice and said (translated from Spanish):

“In there, what you had (in terms of numbers) was the same and the first week was interesting, but after that, it's more about who you are. It doesn't matter if someone has 100 followers or 1 million; it's what people decide.”

During the conversation, Mercury also named the co-contestants he would like to see winning Season 3:

“Everyone deserves it, but I really identify with them because we've only just begun our first steps, and this could be a great deal. I'd like Aldo or Abelito to win it.”

Although Mercury couldn’t win the $4,000,000 MXN prize, his fans started a GoFundMe. A user, Mariel Garcia Valdes, launched a GoFundMe to raise prize money for Aaron and wrote (translated from Spanish):

“Hello, we are Team Teresas and I am raising funds to cover the injustice of a great winning man who deserves that and more.”

The campaign raised $13,140 MXN within two days, but the organizer disabled it.
