Maffeis‑González protective order dispute and theft claim

Entities: Ana Maria Braga · Badarik González · Mariana Maffeis · Brazil · Botucatu, São Paulo

Overview

In late July 2026 Mariana Maffeis, daughter of Brazilian TV presenter Ana Maria Braga, filed a judicial protective measure against her former husband, Colombian yoga instructor Badarik González. The order bars González from contacting Maffeis, their two older daughters (Joana, 15, and Maria, 11), and her Botucatu home; its exact terms have not been disclosed. The couple had separated roughly two months earlier and have communicated only through lawyers since the split.

González posted an emotional live video after the filing, insisting he is not a criminal, expressing sorrow at being barred from his children, and confirming he has not signed the divorce decree. He continues to deny the aggression, theft and harassment allegations that underpinned the protective measure. González also recounts his June 8 arrest on a ring‑theft charge, his release two days later, and the recovery of a silver ring from his 2001 Fiat Uno during a police search. Police allege the ring was stolen from a jewelry stall at a festival in Ipoema, Itabira, Minas Gerais; the theft charge remains part of the ongoing legal battles.

On 6 August 2026 Maffeis posted a public tribute to her two older daughters, thanking them for their support while noting that the younger children, Varuna (5) and Hima (2), are kept out of videos in compliance with the protective order. The divorce remains unresolved, with González refusing to sign the decree.
