As evidence for this argument, an excerpt from Maitê’s biography was used, in which she says she has “created a beautiful family” in more than a decade of being in a relationship with her former partner.
The actress appealed, claiming that her parents paid taxes to receive the benefit and managed to overturn the decision. In an interview with O Globo in 2019, she countered the criticism:
“People talk too much. They say my father was in the military, but he never was. When I met Paulo at the age of 20, I didn’t realize the benefit, nor could I imagine my father killing himself years later.
Rumors also circulated that the artist never got married in a civil ceremony, so as not to lose the pension left by her parents. To which she replied that one should not believe in it Marriage.
“My experience has been that marriages are painful, so I didn’t get married. However, this has already been negotiated in court, it is an acquired right. Because this civil servant has paid taxes all his life so that the pension comes about. If they disagree with the law, which dates back to 1940 and may be anachronistic, they should change it from now on. “You can’t do that to people,” he said at the time.
