Grazi Massafera Revisits Early On‑Set Bullying as She Prepares First Villain in Globo’s ‘Três Graças’

She says past rejection by veterans gave way to respect after her Emmy‑nominated turn in Verdades Secretas.

Overview

  • In new O Globo interviews, the actress recounts being mocked and excluded when she moved from Big Brother Brasil to acting.
  • She says Otávio Augusto refused to perform scenes with her in Tempos Modernos, later apologizing when they worked together on A Lei do Amor.
  • Massafera reports derogatory remarks from José Wilker and says Miguel Falabella initially opposed her casting for Negócio da China before later making amends.
  • She describes a humiliating prank to search for a theatrical “galharufa” as emblematic of feeling like an outsider early in her career.
  • Now filming Três Graças, set to premiere October 20 on Globo, she says portraying her first villain, Arminda, has caused anxiety and sleepless nights.
