Virginia Fonseca Moves Toward Legal Action After Luana Piovani’s 'Curse' Remark

Overview

• Piovani tagged Fonseca in a repost about a gambling-related death and wrote that a “curse” would stick to her and reach her children, and Fonseca responded Monday in tears saying she would go to court.
• Following Tuesday’s overnight posts, Piovani told followers not to bring her “crocodile tears,” reposted Bible verses and a thread about consequences, and said she was warning about harm from gambling ads rather than wishing it.
• Fonseca’s team said Wednesday it would take appropriate legal measures, and Piovani shared an open letter defending her stance and wrote that she would not back down.
• Relatives and allies rallied to Fonseca, with ex-husband Zé Felipe, his mother Poliana Rocha, her mother Margareth Serrão, aide Maressa, and boyfriend Vini Jr. posting support as she shared a photo with her three children.
• The dispute revives scrutiny of Brazilian influencers who promote online betting platforms known as “bets,” a debate that took Fonseca to the Senate’s CPI das Bets in 2025 before the commission rejected a report seeking her indictment.
