Famous overnight, she began studying money management, taking care of her postreality career and still struggling to understand the drastic change in her life.
I think I had to have a good head because a lot happened at the award. People say, “You lost all the prize.” No, I didn’t lose all the prize. With this award I bought my house back then, I bought a house for my sister, I bought land, right? I helped the family, right? I did what I could and I did a lot.

Money problems arose after the exBBB agreed to act as a guarantor for a house for a member of the press. Since the person never paid the debt, Cida's name fell into disrepute and she not only spent the rest of the price on lawyers, but also saw her dream home auctioned off to pay off the debt.
Many things happen in our lives, many people come to us. At this point you can't see who is who because there are a lot of people sneaking in and just trying to suck the life out of you. I say this from my own experience. A lot of people approached me to get me involved. You, innocent, think that everyone has your best interests at heart, and in fact that is not the case.
Cida Santos
Without the villa in Mangaratiba, the exsister moved to a simpler house in Itaguaí, also in Rio de Janeiro, and still lives with her husband and children Carlos Victor (18) and Victoria (16). “It is a learning experience in our lives. These days I'm very careful even when I approach myself. Even today, a lot of people come up to me and want to join us,” he says.
Despite the loss, Cida Santos says she is happy to have given her family special moments and has no regrets. “The most important thing in all of this is to keep a smile on your face and not give up. Not to stop because of certain situations we go through. Difficult moments, problems that we all face,” he advises.
