Alexandre Frota and Maurício Mattar clash over political comments

Actors Alexandre Frota and Maurício Mattar have engaged in a public dispute on social media following political disagreements. The conflict arose after Frota posted a video expressing support for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during a second-round election. Mattar responded to a related post with laughing emojis and the comment, “Rindo até 2090”.

Frota, a councilman in Cotia, expressed disappointment over the interaction, citing their decades-long friendship and professional history, including their work on the production 'Roque Santeiro'. Frota noted that he had supported Mattar during difficult personal times, including providing housing and being present during a heart attack.

Frota attributed the friction to the effects of political polarization, specifically mentioning 'bolsonarismo'. Despite the tension, Frota stated that the political divide would not erase their shared history and offered praise for Mattar’s recent return to television.
