Rio Jorge Perlingeiro showed support for Imperatriz Leopoldinense after Antonia Fontenelle criticized the federation’s old guard when commenting on Janja’s look at Lula’s inauguration last Sunday. The President of the Independent League of Samba Schools in Rio (LIESA) confirmed this per daythis Wednesday, who will accept the request of Cátia Regina Drumond Espindola de Freitas, president of the association, and reject the request for accreditation of the blonde at the Carioca Carnival, if it is made.
“Antonia never asked to be accredited by Liesa. But if she asks for accreditation, we will honor the Empress’s request not to accept it. The school has the right to be rejected. But it must be emphasized that there is no way to prevent this from stopping Antonia from participating in the carnival to go to the Sambódromo. She can buy a ticket to see the parades, she can be invited through a box. And she is well received by those who invited her,” said Jorge, who gave his opinion on the blonde’s comment. “There was a rudeness,” he summarized.
The Empress sent Liesa a letter this Tuesday asking for the actress to be “nonaccredited” for the carnival. “In light of what has happened, the Presidency of Imperatriz Leopoldinense, together with its Board, its components and its community, asks this institution not to accredit Ms. Antonia Fontenelle for any purpose or function in the samba schools parades. Her lack of decency a Association impacts everyone else involved in the show,” the document said.
On the same day, Liesa issued a statement to show solidarity with the Empress and the values of Samba. “The Liga Independente das Escolas de Samba do Rio (LIESA), through its Board, rejects the derogatory comments made last Sunday 1st against Imperatriz Leopoldinense and its Velha Guarda. Inserted in the context of the 12 federations of the Special Group of Rio de Janeiro, the green and white of the Ramos district deserves respect and homage, memorable, which resulted in eight championships. As the country’s largest cultural representation in the eyes of the world, the Carioca celebration deserves and demands attention and recognition from its schools and its people”.

Antonia commented on the look chosen by Janja at Lula’s (PT) inauguration through a video and caused controversy. “Look folks: These are the old guard of Imperatriz Leopoldinense. I don’t know much about fashion but I don’t think it’s necessary, this is my opinion, the opinion of a simple woman,” said the YouTuber and Mark Paul’s exwife. “‘Why, Leopoldinense, Antonia?’ Because it’s an apathetic school, it doesn’t stink or smell, you know? It’s not the old guard of Mangueira, Mocidade or Grande Rio, it’s Imperatriz Leopoldinense. By God!” he concluded. After the attack, the empress Janja invited to the carnival parade. “The unfounded attacks by those who do not know the history of the carnival do not only affect our association, but above all our community, fans, components and consequently the entire world of samba. We demand respect for our 63year history in favor of art and Brazilian popular culture,” the statement said. Antonia paraded Grande Rio for 12 years and said goodbye to Avenida in 2020. Director Marcos Paulo’s exwife was also Queen in 2012 of the Drums of Mocidade by Padre Miguel and shone in Império Serrano, a highlight at Carnival 2019.
