Luana Piovani took on the pain of Fernanda, a participant in Big Brother Brasil, who was criticized by Xuxa Meneghel after speaking out about exhaustion in the maternity ward during the program (remember the case below). The actress came to her sister's defense in stories published on her Instagram account on the afternoon of this Friday, 22nd.
“Friends, friends, business aside. For God's sake. She had a daughter, with the life she asked God for, with 350 people at her side. He also had a daughter who is a girl. Do you know what my mother says? That if her first child was a boy, she probably wouldn't even have a second, because men and women are very different”, said Luana, without mentioning Xuxa's name.
The actress argues that someone with such history would not be in a position to judge a poor mother. “You guys are all crazy. They completely lost track of everything. What a lack of empathy! Judging without knowing the size of the girl's shoe”, she said, in a tone of indignation.
She continues: “Do you think that saying that you 'wanted to throw it out the window' is the same thing as the numbers of child violence in show? Do you really think so? You have to take a course in text interpretation, common sense and emotional intelligence”, said the actress. “When we are exhausted we say everything. When you call someone a son of a bitch, are you really thinking about the guy's mother? Of course. It stops being a short idea. Have empathy with people who don't have the means.”
The actress continued, reinforcing the importance of considering the reality of each person's life. “Do you know what it’s like to be poor? Not having money, not knowing where the food will come from, not knowing how you're going to pay the rent, how you're going to buy a gift for your child, how you're going to buy school supplies, how you're going to wake up tomorrow, why you won't be able to sleep because you're stressed. .. You don't know what this is, you've never experienced a problem in your life. And now you come to judge a tired mother? Oh no, he's going to travel. Go on vacation!”, concluded Luana.
This is not the first time that the actress has spoken out about events at BBB. Throughout the edition, she has already spoken out about Wanessa's comments about her then-boyfriend Dado Dolabella, with whom Luana has had a relationship in the past, recalling the allegations of aggression she made against him. At another point, the actress praised Davi's stance in the face of Wanessa's expulsion.

Iconic singer of Rio music and supporter of Mais Querido, master of partido-alto and founder of Cacique de Ramos, passed away this Friday
08 Ago 2025 | 15:48 |
Samba lost one of its greatest references this Friday (8): Arlindo Cruz passed away at the age of 66 in Rio de Janeiro. Recognized for his vast work with 795 registered compositions, the samba singer marked generations with hits such as “Saudade Louca” and “Boto Meu Povo na Rua” . Born in Madureira, the birthplace of Rio samba, Arlindo was also a passionate Flamengo fan.
His retirement from the stage occurred after suffering a stroke in 2017, which impacted his career and health. Family members confirmed his death, without disclosing the official cause, but emphasized the artist's cultural legacy and his love for soccer, especially for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved). The wake will be open to the Rio de Janeiro community.
The son of Arlindão, who had meetings with samba artists like Candeia at home, Arlindo Cruz immersed himself in the musical world from an early age. At 17, he began his professional career as a cavaquinho player on Candeia's 1975 album "Roda de Samba." Over time, he became known for his mastery of the banjo, an instrument he helped popularize in samba and which became his trademark.
A central figure in the founding of the Cacique de Ramos samba circle, the musician rubbed shoulders with greats such as Zeca Pagodinho and Jorge Aragão. With Fundo de Quintal, a legendary samba group, he recorded 10 albums that helped cement the genre . From the 1990s onward, he developed a solo career with successful albums such as "Arlindinho" (1993) and important collaborations with producer Sombrinha.
Madureira, a neighborhood that forged its cultural and musical identity, was the setting for compositions that celebrated everyday life, street smarts, and the richness of Rio's samba. A strong connection to Flamengo was present in his daily life: Arlindo frequented the Maracanã stadium, participated in club events, and received tributes on special occasions , cementing his status as a Flamengo icon.
The club is accused of using "Clube da Esquina nº 2" without authorization in the advertisement for the number 9, in a video published on social media in January 2025

Singer Milton Nascimento and record label Sony Music filed a lawsuit against Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, alleging the improper use of the song "Clube da Esquina nº 2". The work, written by Milton, Lô Borges and Márcio Borges , was allegedly used without authorization in a video posted on the club's social media in January 2025, during the announcement of Gabigol's signing from Flamengo.
According to information published by the newspaper O Globo, the video was produced and released by Cruzeiro without the proper authorization of the artists involved in the song's creation . Sony Music , which represents the copyright of the work, is seeking compensation for material damages, while Milton Nascimento and the Borges brothers are seeking compensation for moral damages.
The court order stipulates a sum of R$50,000 for each of the songwriters involved . Despite the good relationship between the artist and the Minas Gerais club in the recent past, the lawsuit remains ongoing due to the dispute between the parties.
In 2022, after announcing his retirement from the stage at the age of 80, Milton Nascimento was honored by Cruzeiro at a concert held at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte. On the occasion, the singer received a personalized jersey from the team and a letter describing him as " Cruzeiro's international ambassador ."
The lawsuit highlights the importance of respecting copyright when using musical works, especially in advertising materials and highly visible social media content . Despite the history of tributes, the composers claim that the lack of formal consent for the use of the song violates their rights and compromises the recognition of the intellectual property involved.
