Revillame told off Ethel and another host, Ate Gay, for complaining about not winning the show’s costume contest. He emphasized that he was their employer and that the two should show him respect. He then dared Booba to resign from the show, a dare which she has taken on.

Her fans on Twitter also continue to show her their support:
