Viih Tube Brazil influencer settlement

Overview

In early July 2026, Brazilian social‑media personalities Viih Tube and Mulher Melão had their Instagram accounts disabled, signaling heightened scrutiny of the influencers' online activities.

By early August 2026, Viih Tube and her husband Eliezer reached a settlement with Brazil's Ministry of Public Labor over the reality program “As Patroas,” which had featured their domestic workers in degrading challenges. The agreement required a payment of R$350,000 in moral damages, the permanent removal of all show videos, a ban on future productions that could expose employees to degrading situations, and the broadcast of three educational videos on domestic‑workers’ rights. Additional fines of R$50,000 per violated clause and R$5,000 per affected worker were also stipulated. The settlement funds are earmarked for collective initiatives defined by the ministry rather than direct distribution to the workers.

On 1 August 2026 the couple signed a Term of Adjusted Conduct with the Ministério Público do Trabalho, committing to delete all “As Patroas” content within 48 hours and to channel the R$350,000 to the Fundo de Defesa dos Direitos Difusos for labor‑rights campaigns. Labor experts emphasized that the agreement reinforces workers’ dignity and imposes strict penalties for any future violations.
