Brazilian TV Host Ana Clara Lima Criticized for Mykonos Video Mocking Tourists’ Looks

Overview

• Ana Clara Lima, a Globo presenter and former Big Brother Brasil contestant, posted an Instagram video from Mykonos on Tuesday saying she had “never seen so many ugly people per square meter” and calling the crowd “weird” while filming with colleague Ceci Ribeiro.
• The clip drew fast pushback from social media users, including accusations of xenophobia and claims the remarks were in poor taste, even as some commenters defended the tone as a joke.
• Ribeiro added that many there looked like “a surgery didn’t work” before saying “what matters is what’s inside,” a line critics viewed as mocking rather than conciliatory.
• As of Wednesday, no apology or formal statement from Lima was reported by the outlets covering the video.
• Brazilian coverage framed the episode as a test of influencer responsibility and noted Mykonos’s global tourist mix, which helped drive the xenophobia critique, with reports also varying on the exact venue shown.
