Zilu Camargo, ex-wife of country singer Zezé Di Camargo, and singer Simone Mendes celebrated Christmas this year at the same event, in the United States. The celebration in Orlando, Florida, was organized by businessmen Rodrigo Branco and Juliana Fernandes. White, in this case, is involved in cases of racism that occurred in 2020.
However, a controversial episode involving the host was recalled by internet users.
In a photo posted on social media, it is possible to see that other celebrities were also present, such as Dani Calabresa, Blogueirinha, Craque Neto, player Roger Guedes and UFC fighter José Aldo.
In the comments on the post made by Dani Calabresa, internet users accused the guests of associating themselves with a racist person. “It’s difficult to defend this friendship,” commented a user on the social network.
This is because, in 2020, Rodrigo Branco was accused of racism against the winner of BBB20, Thelma Assis, and against the journalist Maju Coutinho. At the time, he stated that the doctor was cheering for just one reason: “She’s black, poor thing.” As for the journalist, the businessman criticized her mistakes after stating that he watched her on TV.
“She’s terrible, she’s horrible. I watched it today and she says everything wrong. It's only there because of the color. She has no career, she has never been a field reporter, she says everything wrong and as a TV director, I will tell you, she reads the TP wrong,” she said.
With the public's immediate reaction to the comments made during a live broadcast, he returned to social media to apologize. “Several times I’ve said nonsense and I’ve said things that changed my mind… It’s ignorant not to change your mind, not to listen and not talk,” began Branco.
“I talked a lot of s***. I didn't say anything like I thought, I wanted to explain what I wanted to say. I wanted to say one thing and I said something completely different, I was completely racist,” she continued. Almost three years after the controversy, celebrities thanked the businessman for the “very special” night, as Zilu wrote.
“This was a very special Christmas night, we celebrated with friends, everyone was there with Juju di Casa and Rodrigo Branco's family, they had a meeting of friends so that everyone could celebrate this special day together! God bless you for caring for everyone. Thanks! You are special. Merry Christmas!”, captioned Zezé’s ex when publishing several clicks.
Country singer Simone Mendes also appeared at the celebration with her husband, Kaká Diniz, and posed in the viral click.

On his social networks, the businessman also published records with each of his guests. Wanted by CNN Brazil he did not answer.
Zilu Camargo vented about changing plans
Although he had planned to spend Christmas with his children in Brazil, Zilu changed his mind due to the most recent family controversy involving Zezé's fiancee, Graciele Lacerda and the singer's daughter-in-law, Amabylle Eiroa. “I was going to Brazil for Christmas and New Year, everything was already arranged, everything was fine, but I’m not going anymore because of the chaos in the family”, he said last Sunday (24), adding that each of his children would go to a place.
“Camilla has already gone to the beach, Igor will spend it with his wife's family, Wanessa, I don't know, I think she will spend it with her children. The whole family ended up dissipating, each one to one side. I’m very sad, but what can I do, right?”, lamented Zilu.
She also wished that the fake account that started the controversy would be discovered. “I'm going to stay here, I'm going to wait for this storm to pass, then I'm going to be in Brazil with my mother, my children, my family. I hope that soon, this will all be over, that everything will be at peace, that the family will be at peace and that this Priscila Dantas (fake account) will be discovered”, she added.
