Former BBB contestant Isabelle Nogueira has announced her departure from the role of muse at the Grande Rio samba school. The decision comes less than two months before Carnival 2025, due to an ankle injury preventing her from attending rehearsals.
Isabelle Nogueira, known for her participation in BBB 24, officially announced her exit from the muse position at Grande Rio on Wednesday, December 17, 2025. In a letter posted on her social media, she explained that an ankle injury prevents her from meeting the rehearsal demands for Carnival.
The Grande Rio samba school, one of Rio de Janeiro's most traditional, had counted on the former BBB contestant to energize the 2025 festivities. However, with time running short – less than two months until the parade –, Isabelle chose to step away to focus on her recovery. The letter's publication marks the end of her association with the group, which had been announced earlier.
The injury is a setback for the muse, who had gained prominence in the media after the reality show. Fans and followers expressed support in social media comments, wishing her a speedy recovery. Grande Rio has not yet publicly commented on a replacement.
