Overview
- Hilton filed a request with the AGU seeking investigations, accountability, removals, and public retractions over posts that distorted a Lula speech.
- She stated she was not at the Rio event and had been in the interior of São Paulo, rejecting claims that Lula referred to her with a masculine pronoun.
- Lula’s remark was directed at Rio state deputy Elika Takimoto during a ceremony marking 90 years of the minimum wage, in a segment warning about risks of artificial intelligence.
- Takimoto posted the full video, affirmed the president was addressing her, and urged users to report the misleading content.
- The narrative spread on social media through far-right politicians and influencers, including Eduardo Bolsonaro, Nikolas Ferreira, and Rubinho Nunes, and the AGU has not yet commented on the request.
