Band denies removing Rafinha from his position, but doesn't deny the reprimand.
Speculation about Rafinha Bastos leaving the "CQC" program arose after the comedian's infamous joke directed at Wanessa Camargo, in which he said he would "eat" her and the baby.
247 - The press office of “CQC” denied to Brasil 247 this Thursday morning (29) that the comedian and presenter, Rafinha Bastos, will be removed from the program. But it did not deny the possible conversations that Band directors had with the comedian, information published today in the newspaper “O Diário de S. Paulo”.
Speculation about his departure began to surface after Rafinha's statement about singer Wanessa Camargo, saying that he would "eat her and the baby." Wanessa is six months pregnant with businessman Marcus Buaiz's child, who, according to the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, is considering filing a lawsuit against the comedian and presenter. Ronaldo Fenômeno and his wife Bia Anthony, friends of Buaiz and Wanessa, also complained to Band's management.
This is not the first time Rafinha has made controversial statements. The young man seems to enjoy resorting to gratuitous insults to gain notoriety. His history includes a tasteless joke about prosecutor Valéria Diez Scarance Fernandes, coordinator of the Nucleus for Combating Domestic and Family Violence in the Capital, who requested that the director of the Department of Judicial Police of the Capital (DECAP), Carlos José Paschoal de Toledo, open a police investigation against Rafinha Bastos.
Aside from the famous rape joke, which, according to Rafinha, "a woman who is ugly and raped should thank God for, because for her, it wasn't a crime, but an opportunity."
If Rafinha's intention is to become famous at all costs, his tactic is working, because, according to the American newspaper The New York Times, he is the most influential man on Twitter. But is his mother, who, as Rafinha himself insists on saying, "prophesied that he would be the most important man in the world," enjoying all this?
