Carlinhos Maia revolts after being convicted of a joke against man with malformation

Influencer Carlinhos Maia, 33, will have to pay $ 200,000 in compensation for moral damages to a man who was a joke in 2023. At the time, Maia, who had done a surgical procedure on her face, compared to the man, who has bone malformation on the face.

The conviction by the court of Mato Grosso made Maia angry on social networks. In his outburst, he said that the boy’s image would be public domain and he posted thinking it was a meme.

“I think this is absurd. I would give even more to an institution of Mato Grosso or anything else. At the time, the image of this boy was a meme. I had no idea if it was Brazilian or anywhere else. At the time, I had a very small chin because I had surgery and a follower sent to me,” he said.

According to him, after the repercussion, he even deleted the publication shortly after sharing and also apologized to the target of the joke.

“I understood that it was a congenital issue. The image of this boy is a public domain image for being on the internet for many and many years,” he amended.

Carlinhos Maia said he and his lawyers will try to resort. “It’s not that I took the image of the boy and put [no Instagram] To make a laughing. It was nothing like. I was referring to myself, “he added.

This is far from the first time Maia has entered some public controversy. In 2021, he was convicted of R $ 30,000 for scribbling a work by artist Sergipe Lau Rocha, in 2019.

The most recent was a problem with Dona Dona Lúcia, mother of Paulo Gustavo, who accused him of transphobia. She recalled an episode in which Maia exchanged singer Liniker’s pronouns, and said she doesn’t find it tolerable “that anyone’s sexual orientation and gender identity is a joke.”
