Gabriela Duarte Apologizes, Cites Instagram Error in Repost Targeting Caetano, Gil and Chico

Overview

• In a video posted Sept. 23, the actress said she unintentionally shared a political video after pressing a repost button without realizing it.
• The removed content labeled Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Chico Buarque an “exército de artistas decadentes” and alleged use of public funds without presenting evidence.
• Duarte said she does not use her social accounts for politics and expressed admiration for the musicians before acknowledging the mistake.
• Coverage reiterates that performers at the Sept. 21 Rio protest against the PEC da Blindagem were not paid, with organization led by Paula Lavigne and Caetano Veloso hosting.
• Her explanation referenced unfamiliarity with Instagram’s recently introduced repost function, and reports note the episode drew attention given her mother Regina Duarte’s Bolsonaro-aligned background.
