This Monday (19) Luísa Sonza commented on the lawsuit brought against her for moral damages. The case became public in 2020 when attorney Isabel Macedo, a black woman, went to court claiming she had been mistaken for an employee and treated “rudely” at a party hosted by the artist. On Twitter, the star made a long text about the situation.
“Guys, I’m following everything and my silence these days isn’t because I didn’t want to talk about it, it’s because I needed this time to think, to talk to people and to better understand some issues that I thought I had would have mastered it. but I realized that no,” she began.
Luísa then thanked the fans for demanding a position from her. “I want to thank you, who rightly accused me, and say how important all of this was to me. I have learned to see history more deeply from a different perspective and to perceive the pain of the other. I have positioned myself. And I understood that it always has to be like this. I realized that everyone, including people like me, who see themselves as allies in societal issues, always have to learn more and strive for more knowledge and even more empathy.”

She also announced her decision and revealed what the next steps in the process will be. “I treat this situation as an opportunity to try to get better, as I have always tried, every time something has happened to me, publicly or not. Therefore, my decision is to request a special hearing to settle the case amicably, accepting the amount claimed by the plaintiff,” she said.
“I’m not afraid to make my privileges, which I recognize, available to raise awareness of these social issues and try to eliminate any kind of discrimination.” Finally, I would like to clarify that this case was publicized when it opened in 2020 and is a moral damages case I do not account for any criminal case as it has been disclosed and there is no other pending. , he concluded.

In recent days, the matter has resonated because a hearing planned between the parties had to be postponed after the link to the virtual meeting was leaked on the internet. As a result, the trial was placed under judicial secrecy.

In 2020, journalist Erlan Bastos published the moral damages trial accusing Luísa of mistaking Isabel for an employee at the Gastronomic Festival at Pousada Zé Maria two years earlier. The woman celebrated her birthday, and the singer was one of the attractions of the evening.

After watching the show, the lawyer reportedly walked past the blonde as she went to the bathroom. At that moment she would have been greeted with a slap on the arm while the artist asked her for a glass of water. According to the description of the document, the victim at first did not understand what was happening and asked the star to repeat the question. “Then the artist, again in the same harsh tone, ordered the attorney to get her a glass of water because she was thirsty,” reads the lawsuit, which was filed with the Rio de Janeiro District Civil Court.
Isabel said she even questioned why the singer thought she was an employee of the establishment, since all workers there wore uniforms. According to the lawsuit, Luísa “would have left no doubt that she knew she had made a biased judgment based on racial characteristics” to avoid attorney.

In the lawsuit, the girl asked for compensation of R$ 10,000 for moral damages, the public recantation of Luísa Sonza and the inn on social networks, the posting of antiracism posters in the facility where the crime would have taken place and the conviction of the defendants to pay costs, proceedings and attorneys’ fees.
At the time, Luísa denied what had happened. “Guys, this is all a LIE! Don’t believe it! I would never have that attitude. You know me well, you know my character, my essence. I would never insult another person because of the color of their skin. Never! This accusation is absurd. My team is already taking all legal action regarding the case,” she wrote.
