Mariana Ximenes returns to prime time on TV Globo, after 14 years, as a new villain! The actress plays Isis, in "Mania de Você", which premieres this Monday (9), at 9pm. The character grew up in a community close to a luxury condominium and saw her life take a huge turn after marrying Henrique (Antonio Saboia), heir to a bank.
The couple had Tomás (Miguel Bottini/Paulo Mendes), who has a difficult relationship with his mother. She is still Guga’s (Allan Souza Lima) lover. The artist is excited about her new role.
"I like complex characters, which have many layers, because there is never a sovereign character without mistakes. She makes mistakes, she is deceived too, so this game is enjoyable", highlights Mariana, who gave life to the con artist Gilda in "Amor Perfeito" (2013). The actress recognizes that, despite the evils, her characters have nuances and are human. "My character is now a villain who ends up falling for a scam, but that's very interesting too", she believes.
About the difference between playing girls and villains, Mariana assesses: "It's good to play a girl, like in 'Chocolate com Pimenta', which was a milestone in my career, but it's great to explore villains too. When we try different things in life, it's like opening drawers." She also emphasizes that she likes roles that challenge her real characteristics. "I look like a girl in real life, but I love playing a villain. I like playing evil", she jokes.
This is the third professional partnership between Ximenes and author João Emanuel Carneiro, famous for his plots full of twists and turns. The two have already worked together in "A Favorita" (2008), in which the actress played Lara, and "Cobras & Lagartos" (2006), as Maria Isabel Gonçalves Pasquim, known as Bel. "We're friends and I'm ready for what should be," she snaps.
'I feel fulfilled'
With a 26-year career, Mariana starred in soap operas such as "Fascinação" (1998), "Andando nas Nuvens" (1999 ), "Force of a Desire" (2000), "The Patroness" (2001), "The House of Seven Women" (2003), "America" (2005), "Passione" (2010), "Rare Jewel" ( 2013), "Haja Coração" (2016) and "Nos Tempos do Imperador" (2021), as well as plays and countless films.
She shares her satisfaction with her professional career and the choices she made over the years. "It's a very good moment in my career. I feel fulfilled to be working with great professionals and exploring such rich characters", he emphasizes.
A new lifestyle
At 43 years old, Ximenes also comments on the changes in his body after adopting a new routine and losing 6 kg. "Now I've made it a priority to exercise, whether outdoors or at the gym. I prefer outdoors, but I'm managing to fit it into my schedule however I can", says the actress, who takes advantage of the time between recordings to meditate and maintain her focus. "I'm healthier, and that's the most important thing. It wasn't just a question of aesthetics, but of well-being", she adds.
Regarding her plan to become a mother, Mariana states that she remains firm and strong. "I really want to, motherhood is part of my plans, I froze my eggs and at the right time it will happen."

After "marrying" her boyfriend at a June party over the weekend, singer Jojo Todynho appeared this past Monday (30) at the 42nd Police Station, in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in Rio. This is because the famous woman was giving a statement in a case involving racist attacks that she has been suffering on social media and also the complaint filed by trans influencer Amanda Froes.
In an interview with the LeoDias portal, Jojo reported that she suffers insults daily and that these attacks intensified after revealing her political position: “ People want to dictate what others want to say ”.
COMPLAINT AGAINST INFLUENCER
Jojo also denied having committed any prejudiced act against influencer Amanda Froes and also stated that she reported the influencer for racism. According to the singer's lawyer, more than 30 police reports for hate crimes have already been filed against the artist.
It is worth remembering that the fight began in April, when Amanda said she did not care to greet the singer at the condominium, criticizing her positions against the rights of the LGBTQIAPN+ community.
Jojo responded by calling her neighbor a "slut" and a "demon": “In fact, I am the victim, I am the victim of the story. My integrity was violated from the moment she came out publicly to say – where I would live in the future, that I don't even live there – she filed a slanderous complaint saying that I was transphobic towards her and I didn't even know what her gender identity was. I have no knowledge of who this person is. I think it is absurd for you to come out publicly to talk about a person you don't know .”
COMPENSATION REQUESTED BY AMANDA
In the lawsuit, Amanda Froes is asking for R$50,000 in moral damages, claiming that the singer's statements were made in bad faith, violating her honor, gender identity and dignity as a trans woman. The influencer also claims to have been the victim of a digital moral lynching, suffering attacks due to Jojo's notorious power of influence.
