Controversies involving Giovanna Ewbank

Being a public figure, it is practically impossible not to have your name involved in some controversy, and with Giovanna it would be no different. Check out some of the most striking situations involving the actress:

With your children

One of the controversies that had the most impact involving Giovanna, her husband Bruno and their children was a recent case of racism, in July 2022. The situation took place in a restaurant, and a 57-year-old woman directed racist insults towards the couple’s children and an African family who were there. The woman ended up being detained for offending the police but was later released, as racial insult is not a crime in the country.

Furthermore, there was a video on the internet where Giovanna appears very excited defending her children. On the internet, the actress’ stance generated different opinions. A good number of internet users supported her attitude of defending her children, while others believed that she crossed the line a little. Actress Karina Bacchi was one who criticized Giovanna’s attitude.

In an interview with the Fantástico program, Giovanna and Bruno spoke about what happened.

“I don’t think she ever expected a white woman to fight her like I did, like that. I know that, as a white woman, going there to confront her, my statement will be validated. I’m not going to go out with the crazy, the angry one, like so many other black mothers, who are lionesses every day, just like I was in this episode”he clarified.

She and her husband are very involved in causes to combat racism. “Today I am a woman who is very aware of my privileges, I am a woman who is always surrounded by other black women, learning daily. I will live up to white privilege and I will fight it head on. I want everyone to know, Maju, that we are not going to fight racism lightly, we are going to go over it and do justice to this so-called white privilege.”from that to Fantástico.

With your brother-in-law

Another controversy involving Giovanna that caused a stir on the internet recently was involving her brother-in-law, Thiago Gagliasso, Bruno’s brother.

It all happened because Thiago decided to share on social media a conversation he had with his sister-in-law where they argue about money and the blonde claims that her brother-in-law was supported by his more famous and rich brother.

Thiago then gave his side of the story: “Unfortunately I didn’t become one of GIOH’S LOVES! But I would really like to inform you that – I NO LONGER LIVE IN MY BROTHER’S AP! (And even if he did, he wouldn’t be ashamed for not thinking like him, after all, we’re not brain twins, despite our physical similarity) – call my son’s school and ask if I owe him anything! and if I needed his help I would accept it, see! – Allowance for MOM? I would be proud to be able to provide my Mother with what he does for her, the name of that is GRATITUDE! I don’t know if you know! – MY BROTHER’S APT TO STAY IN? Relax ! I have friends ! They will certainly welcome me with the greatest pleasure!”he said on the subject.

After that, neither Bruno nor Giovanna commented on the controversy.
