Influencer Virginia Fonseca has terminated her advertising contract with the betting platform Blaze following legal scrutiny from the Public Ministry of the Federal District and Territories (MPDFT). Initial reports indicated the MPDFT was investigating potential predatory collusion and misleading advertising, with requests for collective moral damages reaching up to R$ 380 million. The investigation focused on whether advertisements lacked clarity and induced financial risk among followers. Subsequent updates clarified that Fonseca’s agency, VF Digital, ended the partnership in accordance with contractual terms. The MPDFT has filed a public civil action seeking R$ 120 million in collective moral damages, citing over 42,000 complaints against the platform. The legal action ~~follows court orders to remove content that presented betting as a guaranteed profit or a solution to financial difficulties. The civil public action specifically~~ targets Fonseca and Foggo Entertainment Ltda., the operator of Blaze. Prosecutors allege that advertising practices promoted a perception of easy income while downplaying financial risks, specifically highlighting the problematic use of terms such as ‘extra income’ in promotional content. Recent developments indicate that the Court of Justice of the Federal District and Territories (TJDFT) has made multiple unsuccessful attempts to serve Fonseca with a legal summons at her registered address in Goiânia. The ~~investigation~~ lawsuit seeks at least R$ 120 million in compensation for collective moral damages, alleging her campaigns induced consumers into error. While an initial injunction to remove promotional content from her Instagram account was ~~further triggered by consumer complaints involving allegations~~ denied, the TJDFT later granted an appeal mandating the removal of ~~account blocking and fund retention.~~ such materials. Due to the failed personal notifications, the court may proceed with service by public notice.
