Overview

• In new Instagram Stories, Rocha said her interview was distorted and announced that her lawyers will file lawsuits against those she accuses of defamation.
• During a RedeTV! interview, she recounted that Leonardo invited a 15-year-old identified as João from Ilhéus to Goiânia around 2008 to spend time with their then-10-year-old son, Zé Felipe.
• Rocha said the teen stayed about a month and a half, received medical care and new clothes, then returned to Bahia with a ticket they purchased as she provided financial assistance for roughly a year.
• She acknowledged there was no contact with the boy’s mother before the trip, a point that fueled heavy online criticism, including a post by actor Tuca Andrada.
• Reporting to date cites Rocha’s account, and there is no public indication of official legal proceedings related to the 2008 episode.
