Presenter José Siqueira Barros Júnior, 56, better known as Sikêra Jr., was convicted in the second instance in the lawsuit brought against him by the singer and husband of Xuxa Junno Andrade, 59. The musician was called a “jugolo” who “does nothing in life” and that “has tried everything and can’t succeed” during one of the 2020 editions of Alerta Nacional (RedeTV!). Sought after, Sikêra and his lawyer did not respond to requests.
In the lower court, Sikêra had already been sentenced to pay R$10,000 to Junno. Now, it must be plus interest and monetary correction. According to a document from the São Paulo Court of Justice, the appeal of the presenter of RedeTV! was denied and the sentence upheld. There is still recourse. The broadcaster also did not return the F5 about the subject.
The information was first given by UOL columnist Rogério Gentili and confirmed by F5. In the decision, judge Hertha Helena de Oliveira says she understands that Junno is right to ask for moral damages and that RedeTV itself is responsible! for broadcasting the program on which the offense took place.
Sikêra was also sued by Xuxa, 59, who filed a lawsuit for alleged attack on honor and for not having liked the exhibition of a zoophilia scene in the RedeTV! attraction. In June, Jr. entered into an agreement with the Public Ministry of Amazonas to pay, according to his lawyer, R$ 2,000 to a charity institution. This is the criminal action whose agreement was accepted so that he could get rid of a possible criminal conviction.
