Influencer Virginia Fonseca sparked controversy when she said she would be spending Christmas away from her family for the first time. The celebrity, who directs Sabadou on SBT, said her children – Maria Alice, Maria Flor and José Leonardo – would spend the date with their father, Zé Felipe, while she celebrated alone with her boyfriend, Vini Jr. On the Internet, the decision sparked outrage.

Virginia detailed the dynamic in an interview with Fofocalizando: “This year the kids are going to spend (Christmas) with Zé, because he has a show on New Year’s Eve, so I’m going to spend it with Vini on the 24th. But I’m already planning a Christmas party on the 23rd,” the celebrity said.
“So, Christmas with the family will take place on the 23rd this year, I invited my friends. It’s going to be really cool because this date is so important, for me it’s the best time of the year, so I didn’t accept not spending it with my family. Then after my mother will spend it with her boyfriend, the children with Zé and me with Vini”, he added.
Revolt
Virginia’s statement had the effect of a bombshell among fans and Internet users, who castigated the celebrity’s attitude. “What a man doesn’t do, right? She’s going to leave the children with their father, which never happened,” criticized Karine Santos. “She organizes the schedule based on how the father can be with the child,” Natalia Rodrigues joked.
