Brasilia 247 - One day after calling singer Ludmilla a "monkey," presenter Marcos Paulo Ribeiro de Moraes, "Marcão do Povo," did not appear on TV Record this Wednesday, the 18th, presenting the program Balanço Geral DF, which was hosted by Dionísio Freitas.
The program began without any mention of yesterday's episode, which caused immense repercussions on social media and sparked the #ProcessaLudmilla campaign, encouraging the artist to take legal action against the journalist.
The singer stated on her Facebook page that she will report the journalist for racism. "We will not let such acts go unpunished; this is an absurd and shameful disrespect," she wrote. "This must be fought, and I will do my part, as many times as necessary," she added. The singer's press office informed the media that they "will take all appropriate legal measures."
Record initially defended the journalist, attempting to justify his use of the expression "old monkey" and claiming he "did not intend to offend singer Ludmilla or anyone else," but deleted the Twitter post on Wednesday.
