Celebrities at war with ex-husbands are using social media to ask for help


Letícia Birkheuer, Luana Piovani and Samara Felippo express complaints and outbursts that could impact millions of other women

Previously dominated by the “look of the day” and the “dish of the moment”, social networks have taken on another role. They have been used by famous women in conflict with ex-husbands.

In the last few days, the posts of Letícia Birkheuer (against Alexandre Furmanovich), Luana Piovani (against Pedro Scooby) and Samara Felippo (fighting with Leandro Barbosa) have gone viral.

In short, they demand respectful treatment from the men they once loved. They turn to the Internet as a last resort against situations presented as abusive.

From this voluntary overexposure – with the characteristic of a cry for justice – something positive can be learned: the encouragement for other women, especially anonymous ones, to seek a safety net to free themselves from bad relationships or react to ex-partners with questionable behavior .

By showing themselves fragile and exhausted by the situation, these celebrities humanize their image and give greater visibility to relevant issues, such as women’s mental health after the end of marriage, the burden of caring for children and the material losses resulting from an annulled union.




Letícia, Luana, Samara and other artists in the same situation show the telenovela in real life, without glamor and with real tears. They also help reduce alienation on social networks, where most people publish a false existence, excessively retouched by filters, fueling an ideal of unattainable happiness.

It is up to the press not only to conquer audiences with the outbursts of celebrities, but also to use the influence of communication to carry forward the debate on the female universe, still suffocated by centuries of sexist hegemony in society.

With ex-husbands reported, it is necessary to give space to one’s defense, since contradiction is an essential part of professional journalism.
