Brazil Viih Tube labor probe

Overview

On 29 July 2026 Brazil’s Ministry of Public Labor (MPT) concluded a Term of Adjusted Conduct (TAC) with influencers Viih Tube and Eliezer over their reality programme “As Patroas,” which exposed eleven domestic workers to humiliating challenges such as searching for plastic coins in toilets and trash cans for cash prizes. The agreement mandated a payment of R$350 000 in collective moral damages, which was deposited in the Fundo de Defesa dos Direitos Difusos, the removal of all programme episodes from digital platforms within 48 hours, and a permanent ban on any future content that humiliates or degrades domestic workers, even with consent. The pair must also publish three educational videos on workers’ rights, with fines of R$50 000 per breached clause and R$5 000 per affected worker. The payment and removal were completed shortly after the TAC, confirming the influencers’ initial compliance.
