Overview

• The samba school confirmed the dismissal on Monday, saying the influencer could not meet the schedules and commitments the role demands and referencing recent events involving her.
• Reports detail a dinner in São Paulo where a secretary and friend of Figliuzzi allegedly called her former press aide, Juliana Palmer, a racial slur and threw a drink.
