Monica Ruiz, known for doing a commercial ad for Peloton, is making a guest appearance on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” The show’s decision to bring her to the fold, albeit temporarily, is a trend these days among soap operas wherein a sudser snags a viral guest star. Viewers may recall that the Golden Globes’ Fiji Water Girl made a cameo in a daytime drama.
The Peloton ad features a housewife receiving a gift from her husband. What she got was a stationary exercise bike. She uses it to lose weight and documents her progress for one year. A lot of viewers were furious and accused the commercial of promoting negative stereotypes and suggesting that women should be thankful if their husbands tell them to lose weight. Not only that, the message was being delivered by a sexy and beautiful woman, Monica Ruiz.
Ruiz Reportedly Got Paid $2,000 For Her Guest Appearance
“The Bold and the Beautiful” plans to use guest stars to play as Forrester models. Details about Ruiz’s role on the show are still being kept under wraps but it’s been revealed that she’ll be shooting scenes for her episode on December 17. This means her episode will most likely air in January.
Ruiz’s holiday commercial went viral online. After the recent ad campaign went wrong, Peloton’s stock dropped by more than 9 percent and lost $942 million from its market value. It seems like Ruiz’s gig on the show is a one-time thing for now. But if viewers respond to her, the show may have something else in store for her.
Ruiz immediately accepted the offer to make a guest appearance on “The Bold and the Beautiful. According to sources, Ruiz got $2,000 for her episode. Despite the negative press received by the company, Ruiz seems to be making the most out of it. It didn’t negatively affect her career but helped it instead.
