Grazi Massafera Recounts Early-Career Hostility From Veterans, Says ‘Verdades Secretas’ Earned Industry Respect

Her account coincides with preparations to debut as a villain in Globo’s Três Graças, set for 20 October.

Overview

  • Speaking in new interviews, the actress says colleagues mocked her after Big Brother Brasil, including a prank sending her to seek a bogus “galharufa.”
  • She alleges Otávio Augusto refused to act opposite her in Tempos Modernos, later apologizing when they worked together again on A Lei do Amor.
  • Grazi recalls José Wilker reportedly refusing to share a staircase with “that BBB” and says Miguel Falabella initially cursed her casting before later being cordial.
  • She says respect on set followed her performance in Verdades Secretas and an International Emmy nomination, noting that earlier roles left her considering quitting.
  • Now 43, she is set to play her first on-screen villain, Arminda, in Aguinaldo Silva’s Três Graças, and says she maintains a respectful co-parenting partnership with Cauã Reymond to protect their daughter.
