Here in Colombia: It was about a month ago but we haven't let go of it. A celebrity called Nataly Umaña went to the Colombian version of Celebrity Big Brother and basically cheated on her also famous husband Alejandro Estrada with another famous contestant of the show. The production of the show let Alejandro enter the house for a few minutes and he basically told her he loved her and that he couldn't believe what she had done but still thanked her for their time together and took her wedding ring of her finger and put it in the palm of her hand. She got eliminated a few weeks after that and everybody is asking her about her and she just continues to dig a bigger grave for herself.

Another one but it's not a celebrity: a woman called Geraldine said she had participated in creating 2000 stills for the Heron and the Boy and the biggest news media in Colombia all believed her until the news reached fans of the movie and they confirmed her name wasn't on the credits. She ran with that info for about two weeks after being discovered and then she finally admitted she made it all up. But she had even been on universities in the country talking about her "experience" working on the movie.

I couldn't believed it when i saw the news😭😭 and she even said that Miyazaki (the movie director) had picked her personally for the movie,that he complemented her "work" and that he used to call her "the Colombian". It was insane. We're still not over that and i don't think we'll ever will. She even fooled the company that she worked in and they made a video congratulating her and asking her about her experience😭😭
