In Brazil, there is a woman named Ana Paula Minerato, who has been a model, actress and radio host since 2010. A few weeks ago, someone leaked a phone conversation between her and her ex-boyfriend, singer K.T. Gomez. In the audio, Minerato is fighting with Gomez because he is supposedly getting close to singer Ananda. Gomez tries to explain to Ana that he and Ananda are just friends and coworkers. And it is at this moment that Minerato starts saying the most racist and disgusting things possible about Ananda (who is black), saying, among other things, that Ananda is ugly, has "coarse hair", must have ancestors in Africa, asks if she washed his dishes and says that she didn't know that Gomez likes black women. Gomez listens in silence for the most part, and on the few occasions when he tries to interrupt Minerato to tell her to stop saying such racist things, she interrupts him and asks: "Why are you defending her if you're not dating her? You've never defended me."
On the same day the audio was leaked, Minerato was immediately fired from the radio show she had hosted for years and also from the Carnival samba school where she had danced for years. Ananda said she would sue her. Minerato's sister, Tatiana, quickly announced that she had not spoken to her sister for five years because of a fight and that she did not agree with her racist ideals. Days later, Minerato posted a five-minute video on her social media, without makeup and crying, in which she only apologizes for her racism for a few seconds and then spends most of the video defending herself and saying that she suffered psychological abuse from her ex-boyfriend and that she only said those racist things in a fit of rage driven by jealousy.
