The Justice decided to clear the presenter Marcão do Povo of the accusation of racial injury made by the singer Ludmilla. In 2017, when he commented on a news item involving the artist, he cited the term “poor monkey” to refer to her.

wanted by F5, Ludmilla vented. “Another difficult day in the life of those who fight against prejudice. Surprisingly, even after using the terms ‘poor and macaca’ against me, the judgment of the 3rd Criminal Court of Brasilia understood that there was not, on the part of presenter Marcão do Povo , intent to offend,” he began.

“Well, I say: yes, he offended, and my lawyers are preparing the appropriate appeal. A racist attacking me on national television. We cannot rest until justice is served. Understand once and for all: even when I am in the victim’s chair they give me a way to sit in the villain”, she added.

According to an excerpt from the process sent to the F5 by Marcão’s lawyer, the judge understood that the victim’s and witnesses’ reports did not demonstrate force for Marcão’s punishment, and that he would not have acted with malice, that is, with the intention of offending.

Therefore, Judge Omar Dantas dismissed the punitive claim against the presenter and decided to acquit him in the action.

REMEMBER THE CASE

In January 2017, Marcão was fired from Record after referring to the singer Ludmilla as “poor monkey”. The journalist’s comment appeared in the painting “A Hora da Poisonosa”, in which Sabrinna Albert talked about celebrities. The news at the time was that the funk artist would have refused to take pictures with fans claiming to have a cold.

Marcão then said: “It’s something you can’t understand. He was poor and monkey, poor, really poor”. Apparently uncomfortable with what he had said, he added: “I tell my friends, I was a poor monkey too. Today I am rich in health”.

The broadcaster even issued a repudiation note in which it said that “this type of conduct is not in the editorial line of our journalism. For this reason, Record TV Brasília opted to terminate the contract of presenter Marcão”. He was presenter of the Balanço Geral DF.

Less than a month later, SBT hired him. According to the investigation of F5Silvio Santos’ broadcaster considered the affair between Marcão and Ludmilla to be a personal problem for the presenter, which occurred before his arrival at the channel, and did not want to put itself in the position of judging the new employee.
