Why this matters: The disqualification of Fabyan Sánchez from 'Objetivo Fama 2026' may impact the show’s ratings and reputation in Puerto Rico, where the program is broadcast on Telemundo Puerto Rico.

Fabyan Sánchez was disqualified from the musical competition 'Objetivo Fama 2026' on Friday night, the show’s production announced on social media. The decision comes days before the next gala, scheduled for Sunday, October 11, at 8:00 PM on Telemundo Puerto Rico. The disqualification follows a tense confrontation between Fabyan and Jay.L during a meeting on Thursday, October 8, where Fabyan directed offensive comments and made gestures towards Jay.L, including discriminatory and homophobic expressions.

After calming down, Fabyan apologized to Jay.L, but the latter questioned the sincerity of the apology, believing it was more about avoiding repercussions than genuine remorse. This is not the first time Fabyan has been at the center of controversy due to his behavior, having previously been involved in a physical altercation with D' La Torre and generating controversy over a letter he wrote to his wife before entering the competition, in which he discussed creating provocative content.

The recent events have raised doubts among his fellow contestants about his claimed change and personal growth.
