The actor Henri Castelli, a participant in BBB 26, suffered his second seizure inside the reality show this Wednesday, January 14, 2026. The incident occurred right after the end of the Leader’s Challenge, which lasted about 10 hours, requiring immediate medical attention for the member of the Camarote group. The show’s production, through the voice of Big Boss, has already spoken out to reassure the other brothers, informing them that the artist is doing well and remains under medical observation. This new health episode raises an alert about the physical conditions of participants in extreme challenges, generating concern among the public and sparking discussions about the limits of reality shows.
As a result of the long challenge, Henri began to feel unwell and, according to reports from the sisters who were in the kitchen, such as Solange Couto, he began to speak slurred before falling to the ground. The specific scene of the seizure was cut from the broadcast, which continued with the airing of the Leader’s Challenge. However, the participants quickly spread the news throughout the confinement. This is the second time the actor has faced an epileptic crisis inside Brazil’s most watched house, a fact that increases fans’ apprehension and places the brother’s health at the center of debates about the show.
Reaction in the house and history
Shortly before the new malaise, Henri had returned to the social area of the house after the first medical attention, being received with relief by sisters such as Samira, Aline, Maxiane, and Sol Vega, who were in the pool. On that occasion, he even joked about the situation, saying “They tried to kill me and didn’t succeed,” before explaining directly that he had had “epilepsy, a seizure, a convulsion.” Globo, the network responsible for the program, had already issued a brief statement after the first episode, but Wednesday’s event is likely to pressure for a more detailed communication. Meanwhile, the message from Big Boss, which was celebrated by the sisters in the kitchen, sought to calm spirits within the game.
Thus, Henri Castelli’s health condition becomes one of the main points of attention for BBB 26 at this moment. The need for a second medical intervention in a short period of time raises practical questions about his continuity in the game. Therefore, the next few days will be decisive in understanding whether the actor will be able to continue in the competition or if his journey will be interrupted for medical reasons, an outcome that would directly impact the dynamics of the Camarote and the narrative of this season.
