The Cuban influencer Claudia Artiles came forward to deny that her relationship with Ultrack is in crisis, following the viral spread of a video depicting an apparent argument during a live TikTok broadcast, which sparked a wave of speculation about their relationship.
Claudia was straightforward in her response, shared by several profiles on social media: "For me, ending things with Ultrack and ending my relationship is not an option. We want to start a family, and if God permits, we will be together for many years."
The clarification came after the argument between the couple during the live stream went viral on TikTok and Instagram: Ultrack complained to Claudia that the eggs with avocado she had prepared were under-seasoned, to which she responded that he could add salt himself. The argument escalated, ending with Claudia throwing the plate at his face while shouting, "Stay alone!"
According to Claudia, however, nothing was spontaneous: “That was something that happened live and in real time. Ultra came up with the idea to create that content during my live stream, and it came about because a gossip page at that moment came in and decided to ask us for a viral clip, and we created it right then and there,” she explained.
The influencer detailed the mechanics of the episode: she was making breakfast with Ultrack when a gossip account joined the live stream—which at that moment had between 4,000 and 5,000 viewers—and asked Ultrack if he wasn’t going to provide some viral content. He agreed and arranged with Claudia to pretend to have a fight, and she threw the plate at him as part of the act.
"It was arranged for him to get upset, to confront me about something, and for me to throw the plate at him; it was all staged, it was all live," he confirmed.
The performance didn't convince everyone. In the comments on the reel, several users pointed out that Claudia herself could not hide her laughter during the incident and that Ultrack's expression "also gave him away." One of the most shared comments summed up the general skepticism: "But whoever didn't realize it was staged must be clueless, because Claudia was laughing, she couldn't hide it, and Ultrack's face also revealed it. They were pretending."
Others defended the couple and urged that no one should judge without having watched the entire livestream.
Beyond whether the fight was real or staged, numerous internet users questioned the couple for resorting to this type of content to generate views. "Square or not, it's cr*p content," one user commented, while another noted: "Content that doesn't add anything. The same goes for this as for other couples with toxic content." The criticisms also targeted the example they set on social media: "What a terrible example for your children," "They don't know what else to invent to get attention," and "It looks really bad. I'm sorry, but that's how I see it. I prefer them with different types of content," were some of the reactions.
However, several internet users questioned Claudia's account that everything had been staged, suggesting that her explanation was a way to justify what had happened. "I don't believe her at all," one user wrote, while another jokingly remarked, "Not even the Kardashians have staged something like this. That scene deserves an Emmy." There were also those who questioned the need for so many clarifications: "Why so many explanations, and why hasn't Ultrack stepped forward to say anything?" asked one user. Another was more direct: "Yeah, that story is for someone else. They have a toxic relationship, but hey, it's your life."
Claudia also took the opportunity to complain about the different treatment that, in her opinion, they receive compared to other couples who produce similar content: "There are many couples who create content by getting into fights on social media, and nothing happens. But me and Ultrack get criticized."
"We continue to be together as a family, in our relationship, and we are happy," Claudia concluded in her message. "Never let yourself be guided by a clip that a gossip page posts, because these things happen."
This is not the first time that a live stream featuring the couple has raised concern. On one occasion, neighbors called 911 believing that there was an actual domestic dispute, and at least four patrol cars responded to the scene without any legal consequences.
