Overview
- The civil suit in Brasília names Joice Hasselmann, host Pedro Mendonça and Google Brasil (YouTube), seeking removal of the episode and R$20,000 in moral damages.
- Judge Thaís Araújo Correia of the 17th Civil Court denied an urgent takedown on Sept. 19, so the recording remains online as the case moves forward.
- The interview on the Content Podcast was posted on Aug. 28 and contains allegations about Michelle Bolsonaro's personal life that her lawyers characterize as defamatory.
- The court will still assess the merits after full proceedings, with possible outcomes including damages or a later order to remove the video.
- Responding on Sept. 29, Hasselmann said she stands by her remarks and asserted that the past cannot be erased, expressing confidence in the judicial process.
