Luís Gonçalves' team and family condemn Helena Isabel's remarks

The team and family of Big Brother All Stars contestant Luís Gonçalves have issued formal statements following comments made by fellow participant and lawyer Helena Isabel. During a heated discussion on the program, Isabel remarked, “Para isso tinha de falar no teu registo criminal” (For that I would have to speak about your criminal record).

Luís Gonçalves' representatives expressed deep concern regarding the impact of these insinuations, noting that such comments in a public forum raise serious questions about respect for honor, reputation, and privacy. They emphasized that as a legal professional, Isabel is subject to specific deontological duties and ethical principles associated with the practice of law.

In a separate statement, Gonçalves' family characterized the remark as a “crime against honor and the rights of personal data protection.” They clarified that Gonçalves has no criminal record, noting his “clean military past,” and suggested that Isabel's comments could constitute defamation. The family has called on the show's production to ensure the contestant's defense and to issue an editorial clarification, asserting that the format should not tolerate attacks based on unproven falsehoods or sensitive personal data.
