Erika Hilton Alleges Paid Political Drive Behind Online Hate After Taking Women’s Rights Chair

Her on-air claim of financed attacks draws calls for evidence.

Overview

  • In a TV Cultura interview, Erika Hilton said far-right social accounts paid to boost hostile posts and cited a dossier naming elected officials as funders.
  • News coverage of the interview noted she offered no public proof to substantiate the financing claim.
  • She said the uproar shifted attention away from the commission’s agenda on digital safety for women, women’s health, neonatal care, and childbirth.
  • She criticized uneven enforcement of a Supreme Court ruling that treats transphobia and anti‑LGBTQ bias as the crime of racism.
  • Hilton, the first trans woman to lead the Chamber’s women’s rights commission, kept the role and pressed schools for clear protocols after a reported rape case in Sorocaba.
