Paola Bianco expressed her sadness through tears after being removed from hosting the Concurso Oficial, a key component of Carnaval. Lucila Rada, who will now take on the hosting role, responded to the situation with a message emphasizing respect and affection for Bianco. Rada also issued a plea to stop the wave of online hate directed towards both herself and Bianco in the wake of the announcement. The change in hosts has clearly sparked significant reaction from the public, leading to negativity on social media platforms. Rada's statement aimed to de-escalate the situation and foster a more positive environment. The incident highlights the pressures faced by public figures in Carnaval and the impact of social media criticism. Both Bianco and Rada are prominent figures within the Carnaval community in Uruguay.
