Influencer Virginia Fonseca published an open letter on social media on Monday, June 1, 2026, after being targeted by insults during the Brazil vs Panama friendly at Maracanã the previous Sunday.
Virginia reported feeling cornered after the shouts and objects thrown by fans during the match. In the letter, she wrote about judgments faced throughout her career and personal life, stating that criticism has never built a company.
Several artists expressed support in the comments of the post. Singer Wesley Safadão wrote: “Você é gigante! Vai pra cima!!”. Player Vini Jr., her ex-boyfriend, commented: “Nunca deixe de ser você. Você é gigante!”.
Virginia’s mother, Margareth Serrão, also spoke out. She cited machismo in the episode and called for more love and respect from men.
