Michelle Bolsonaro released videos criticizing stepson Flávio Bolsonaro for disrespect during a phone call. The former first lady described humiliation after opposing a PL alliance with Ciro Gomes in Ceará. The episode unfolds as Flávio runs as a presidential candidate.
Michelle Bolsonaro recorded two videos released on the afternoon of June 24, 2026. She stated that Flávio treated her rudely after she criticized, in November 2025, the PL support in Ceará for Ciro Gomes. According to Michelle, Flávio said she should stay out of party decisions and that she did not understand politics.
Senator Damares Alves said the video had been ready for days and that Michelle would still support Flávio's candidacy. Eduardo Bolsonaro, in turn, reposted messages defending his brother without commenting directly.
Sources indicate the case could harm Flávio among women and evangelicals. The episode also sparked reactions in messaging groups, with most opinions against the senator's conduct.
