Authenticity

The veracity of the events depicted for season three on Pedro's storyline having never met his half-siblings had been heavily criticized and reported by entertainment websites such as Screen Rant,[45] Monsters and Critics,[46] Daily Soap Dish,[47] and In Touch Weekly[48] when a 2014 group photo with Pedro, Nicole, their half-siblings, and Chantel was taken and posted on the Instagram of Pedro's half-brother's wife Wilka.
