In the now-viral video clip, Montoya and the host, Sandra Barneda, are on the beach watching a live feed from inside his girlfriend Anita's room at the Temptation Island house.
The live feed shows Anita kissing another contestant who is single, Manuel. Montoya begins to get emotional as he continues watching.
Going down on his knees and speaking in Spanish, he laments.
As Manuel hops into bed with Anita and the camera shows them getting intimate, Montoya can't control himself any longer. He starts running towards the house.

The unmarried couples travel to a tropical island where they are separated from one another for a couple of weeks.
There, they must comingle with single members of the opposite sex who will then try to persuade the couples to have an affair.
While the series received heavy backlash for its controversial premise, it averaged high ratings over the course of its first season.
Now you can understand why Montoya was made to watch his girlfriend cheating on him.
A bit of Backstory
At first, Anita and Manuel became close and they made out as Montoya had his very first emotional outburst while watching them at the boys bonfire.
As part of the show, Montoya and Gabriela, another single contestant on the show who is meant to tempt the couples, had a “dance”.
After watching the footage of Montoya's closeness with Gabriela, Anita felt betrayed.
Then Joni, Anita’s friend said that Montoya acted out of revenge, claiming that Montoya should have spoken to Anita instead of taking a step further with Gabriela.
Anita and Manuel became closer and eventually got intimate.
Montoya watched it and then broke the rules by running to Anita's villa.
While Anita initially told him she was done after his outburst by breaking the rules, she later ran after him to say he should leave with her.
