A new conflict is erupting in the Spanish show business scene, dominating headlines for several days. Pelayo Díaz and Gloria Camila have found themselves on opposite sides after discussing bullfighting on the show ‘El tiempo justo.’ It was there that the designer and influencer made a sharp comment about bullfighters, sparking an immediate and passionate reaction from his co-host.
It all started with a discussion about statements by María José Campanario, who defended her husband, a well-known matador. Pelayo Díaz didn’t hold back, saying that if someone kills animals, it’s no surprise they are called a killer. This approach clearly irritated Gloria Camila—she not only defended the tradition but also reminded everyone that her father, José Ortega Cano, has dedicated his entire life to the arena. The studio debate quickly escalated to a personal level: Gloria Camila made it clear she wouldn’t allow anyone to call her father a killer.
Continuation on social media
The story didn’t end there. The very next day, Gloria Camila took the conflict to Instagram, posting an emotional video addressed to Pelayo Díaz. She accused him of double standards, arguing that it’s inconsistent to criticize bullfighting while wearing leather products. In the video, Gloria stressed that calling someone a killer due to cultural differences does not show principle, but rather contradiction.
Pelayo Díaz, in turn, did not stay away. At the premiere of “El diablo viste de Prada 2” in Madrid, both protagonists found themselves at the same event, and journalists did not miss the chance to ask questions about the ongoing conflict. Pelayo noted that he does not consider himself the initiator of the dispute, but merely expressed an opinion he agrees with. He also pointed out that Gloria did not tag him in her post, hinting at her reluctance to engage in an open dialogue.
Personal hints and a new escalation
The most discussed moment was Pelayo Díaz’s subtle reference to the past of Gloria Camila’s family. He emphasized that in her position, he would be more cautious, given her father’s biography, since it was she herself who brought up the subject of family in the public argument. At the same time, the designer made it clear he was not going to apologize for his stance and does not expect apologies in return. According to him, everyone has the right to their own opinion, and a constant sense of resentment only hinders open discussion.
This conflict is not being discussed in the Spanish media for the first time. As RUSSPAIN, earlier Gloria Camila had already publicly responded to Pelayo Díaz regarding his harsh words about bullfighters, and at that time, the argument also went beyond the broadcast, touching on personal issues and matters of principle.
Context and response
According to Divinity, this episode became one of the most talked-about of the week. The spotlight was not only on the debate over bullfighting, but also on how quickly a professional discussion escalated into personal jabs and public statements. Such clashes are not uncommon in Spanish celebrity news, but it is the combination of family matters, tradition, and modern views on animal rights that makes this conflict particularly notable. It seems neither side intends to back down, and the public is closely following every new twist in this story.
