The controversy began when both were still on TVI's 'Big Brother Verão.' Bruno de Carvalho and Daniela Santos had a falling out and exchanged harsh accusations.
The 'Dancing With the Stars' dancer also said on the reality show: "The jealous wills you send me, am I the one sending them to you? Yes, Afonso was with me and saw it."
Faced with the accusations, the DJ and businessman responded: "But what? Which wills? What are you talking about? [...] I already told you not to get on my case, don't get on my case and I'll start telling you everything here."

A week after quitting 'BB Verão,' Daniela Santos spoke to reporters and discussed her troubled relationship with Bruno de Carvalho. When asked if she would contact her former friend, since they were both no longer on the reality show, she was quick to reply: "No, of course not."
"I was on a first reality show with him where he was always talking badly about me, I didn't know, but when I got out here I found out.
My lucky break at the time was Joana Diniz, who didn't tolerate that and even defended me. Later, I saw him give an interview where he said he was depressed and going through a difficult time in his life. I met him at the opening of Joana's salon, and he acted as if nothing was wrong. I felt compassion for that, and that was it, I moved on," he explained.
"Then my son was baptized and I thought, am I going to invite some people I met on 'Desafio Final' and not invite him? People are friends especially in bad times. If he says he's going through a difficult time in his life, I'm not going to be the one to abandon him - because that's not what I do with my friends," she added, explaining the reason that led her to give her friend another chance after they both entered 'Desafio Final', where they had a falling out for the first time.
"When I enter this program, after Afonso and I say what we said [admit they had an affair], he starts to behave the way he did and I decide that I'm not going to give him any more excuses.
He was insinuating that I was the one who hit on him, and as a woman, I shouldn't allow that. What I did was defend myself, with 100% certainty that I'm the one telling the truth," she said.
Daniela even asserts that there was never any romantic closeness between them and that whenever she sensed it from the other party, she chose to distance herself. "There was never any flirting with Bruno," she asserted, noting that friends of the former Sporting president have alleged otherwise but have not presented any proof.

Daniela Santos continues to experience turbulent times inside the 'Big Brother Verão' house due to her relationship with Afonso Leitão. The dancer threatened to quit during Sunday's gala, but ultimately decided to stay in the game. This Monday, August 4th, she was devastated by the reality show's commentators.
