Overview
- Samira told G1 she did not intend to encourage graffiti, said the inscription shown was from 2024, and said she now believes writing on walls is not okay.
- She later joked on X about leaving Rio Grande do Sul as fans shared spoof images that turned the flap into online humor.
- Porto Alegre’s official accounts posted a general video warning that pichação is vandalism that can bring fines, and the post did not name her while showing “Samy” on a facade.
- The city’s works department said it took no special action at the spot in her video and noted the wall belongs to a private building.
- Porto Alegre’s code bans defacing public or private sites, sets fines of 750 to 2,600 UFMs, requires the offender to remove the marks, and directs fine revenue to the municipal cleaning agency.
