The charismatic Cuban contestant from Rancho de Destino, Brayan “The Joker,” recently left audiences stunned by sharing his arrest experience in the United States and how he managed to evade a seven-year prison sentence.
During a candid discussion on the show, he narrated that the incident began when police officers pulled him over while driving with a legally owned firearm. "I was out with friends, and during a search, they found a small packet of cocaine. It was a tiny amount, but it was in my car, and I was charged with drug possession and firearm possession. That's a second-degree felony," he recounted.
The Joker also claimed that the officers added another charge for "possession of other substances," which further complicated his situation. "That's when everything fell apart for me. My lawyer requested the police footage, and it showed that what they thought was drugs were actually makeup powders I had in the car. They were asking for seven years in prison for those charges," he recalled.
He explained that the prosecution dropped the case upon discovering the inconsistencies. "My first court date was on April 14, and when they reviewed the evidence, it was dismissed immediately. If the police make an error, the entire case collapses."
The clip went viral on TikTok, where his supporters flooded him with encouraging messages. "You can tell he's a good guy," "God protected you," some wrote, although others questioned his account. Despite the controversy, Brayan maintains the upbeat spirit that defines him on the show: "The important thing is that the truth came out."
Elsewhere in the program, Brayan shared his dreams if he wins the contest: to buy a two-story house for his family and build water wells in Africa. "I want to do this no matter what. If I have more money, I can do more and help in villages where children have to walk hours to get water," he confessed passionately, underscoring that regardless of past challenges, his focus is firmly set on creating a better future.
