Gracyanne Barbosa Discharged After Knee Surgery as Globo Plans Update on 'Domingão'

Official word on her future in Dança dos Famosos remains pending from the network.

Overview

  • Barbosa received medical discharge on Tuesday in Rio de Janeiro after undergoing knee surgery and was photographed leaving the hospital in a wheelchair, according to Terra.
  • The injury occurred during a lambada performance on Dança dos Famosos, where she was treated on stage by Globo's medical team after Luciano Huck requested an ice compress.
  • Globo told Estadão it will present information about her health on the Oct. 5 Domingão com Huck broadcast without confirming whether she will leave the competition.
  • Columnist Fábia Oliveira reports Huck will announce her exit and that producers are negotiating to bring her treating doctor on air to detail the injury and recovery timeline, which Globo has not confirmed.
  • Barbosa has thanked the show’s team and told followers she is beginning a “dance of recovery,” while reports say the show’s lineup could be adjusted if her departure is made official.
