"I've already softened many things about Congresswoman Érika Hilton, but even the limit has its limit," says Antônia Fontenelle about her vote to reduce sentences for heinous crimes.

Actress questions the lawsuit after pointing out inconsistencies in the parliamentarian's speech and explains the statement was taken out of context.

Actress and presenter Antônia Fontenelle commented on the controversy surrounding the lawsuit filed against her by federal deputy Erika Hilton, for racism and transphobia, after the YouTuber criticized the parliamentarian for voting against increasing the minimum sentence served to 80% by perpetrators of heinous crimes before they are entitled to regime progression.

The topic was one of several discussed by Fontenelle in an interview with Tubacast, a podcast hosted by Luan Onofre, also on YouTube.

During the interview, Fontenelle clarified what he said and questioned Hilton's position, who came out against the measure to increase the minimum sentence for such crimes during the review of bill no. 1112/23 by deputy Alfredo Gaspar (União-AL).

"Pay attention to the person's inconsistency: in an interview with journalist Marcelo Tas, on TV Cultura, she said (repeating Hilton's words in the interview): 'In my family, I warned my mother and family members that they are black, which they didn't know. So I told them: there's no point in trying to straighten your hair, lighten your skin color, there's no point in wanting to be white, because you're not.'"

The comment is followed by a cut from the interview showing the parliamentarian's speech in the aforementioned excerpt. Fontenelle continues:

"So what did Erika Hilton do? She was elected, had her nose operated on, and got a 'Pitanguy nose,' which is a white nose like I don't even have. I'm here trying to show the inconsistency and the seriousness of people's blindness. That's what it's about," he adds.

"So, Luan, she made this speech, was elected, and only wears lace, straight blonde wigs, a white nose, drawn on, and this goes completely against what she was preaching when she was elected the most voted councilwoman in São Paulo. She changed her actions, it didn't match what she preaches, and people can't see that."

Fontenelle recalls the entire campaign carried out by left-wing politicians to identify who killed councilwoman Marielle Franco, murdered along with her driver Anderson Gomes, but which, the influencer recalls, ceased after the identification of the brothers Domingos and Chiquinho Brazão - linked to left-wing politicians - as the masterminds behind the crime for political reasons.

"If I have a friend who was barbarously murdered, like Marielle and Anderson were, it's a heinous crime. So I call myself her friend, I'm elected, and I sign a law to reduce the sentence for heinous crimes. She's throwing what happened to Marielle in the trash, because soon the killers will be free."

Fontenelle continues her commentary, reinforcing the contradiction in Erika Hilton's speech

"She throws her speech to her family in the trash, when she says there's no point in dyeing your hair blonde or straightening it 'because you're black' - it wasn't me who said it, I was on my livestream reproducing her speech - and then I said: - dear, you're black, your hair is coarse, and that's not a disgrace to anyone. But it is a disgrace for you, when you had the chance to be someone, to sign such a bizarre law. What they did: A cut of my speech, reproducing what she herself said, and they took out the part where I say it's not a disgrace to anyone," he added.

Antônia Fontenelle also recalled the recently approved Fake News Law and questioned whether her statement, taken out of context, would not fit this condition, since the editing gave another meaning to her indignation, giving the idea of a racist crime that she did not commit.

"I had two Black ex-husbands, a Black son, two Black granddaughters, my best friends are Black and gay, debunking this absurd racist and transphobic accusation. It's not me who doesn't accept myself as I am. She's using me as a smokescreen to hide the atrocities she committed as a parliamentarian, such as reducing sentences for pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and the waste of public money to pay makeup artists and hairdressers so she can show off her expensive, blow-dried, blonde hair," she concluded.
