Fayna Bethencourt’s life continues to be shadowed by the impact of a past relationship, a history now tied to events that unfolded on television years ago. The public figure Carlos Navarro, known as El Yoyas, remained sought after by authorities and faced imprisonment over gender-based violence. In a candid moment on the show Journey with Chester, Fayna opened up about the saga that many viewers first encountered during the reality program Big Brother, where a man tried to present his best self while revealing a gentler, more controlling side of his personality.
In a revealing interview conducted with the show’s host, Fayna explained how the experience began to corrode her sense of safety. Isolation is a familiar theme for those who endure abuse, and Fayna described how the early phase of their relationship felt like a trap, intensified by physical distance from her family. She recalled the allure of what was termed as romantic affection, a period when the relationship appeared enthusiastic, yet carried an undercurrent of control that would become harder to ignore.
There were moments that left a mark on the memory of those involved. On one afternoon, El Yoyas was said to have gripped her hand with enough pressure to elicit tears, an act that Fayna described as part of a larger pattern that spiraled into distress. This episode contributed to a later confrontation on the Cuatro network, where Fayna discussed how the relationship devolved from intense courtship into coercive behavior that affected her wellbeing.
Fayna spoke about the honeymoon phase that preceded more troubling dynamics. She described how possessive conduct emerged, initially appearing as small gestures that were framed as concern or affection. The statements she shared suggested a manipulative logic—a mix of blame and minimization—where the other person would imply that any reaction was provoked by her actions. This pattern, she noted, gradually eroded her autonomy as the relationship progressed.
The turning point, according to her account, was a brutal episode of physical aggression that marked a decisive rupture in their partnership. She recounted an assault that left bruises, a scene that she described as a culmination of escalating violence. Throughout the recounting, she emphasized the intent to avoid visible marks on vulnerable areas such as the face, a detail that underscored the calculated nature of the abuse. The experience, she admitted, sometimes feels distant or unreal when looked back on, as if she were separating a different person from her own lived experience. The parallel she drew between her ordeal and other forms of coercive dynamics, including those seen in certain high-control environments, highlighted the gravity of the abuse and the challenging process of reclaiming personal agency, as described in the accompanying documentary journey related to Chester’s travel program.
