Among the many controversies surrounding Gugu Liberato’s legacy, singer Rafael Ilha, winner of “A Fazenda 10” (2020), recalled meeting Ricardo Rocha, who claims to be the biological son of Gugu Liberato (1959-2019) . According to the former Polegar, Rocha was often seen outside the studios of SBT and Promoart, the company responsible for managing popular bands in the 1980s, such as Dominó, Polegar and Banana Split. The statements contradict statements by Rocha, who said she never looked for his alleged father.
Ilha told the story during the program “A Tarde é Sua”, when she commented that Rocha’s face looked familiar when she saw him on television. He even got in touch with former Thumb members, confirming that they too knew him by sight by then. “I don’t think he’s a son, but he could be. The first time I saw his photo I knew I knew him. He frequented Promoart, where Maria do Céu’s house is located. [mãe de Gugu]”explained the singer.
Ricardo Rocha: The alleged son of Gugu Liberato
Ricardo Rocha stated on Record’s “Domingo Espetacular” program that he never looked for Gugu. He justified her posture by attributing it to her shyness. “I was afraid to expose myself. He’s getting closer and closer to discovering the truth. I’m going through with it. I feel like he’s my father,” Rocha said. “The paternity test serves to resolve this doubt. I will go to the end”.
But, for Rafael Ilha, it would be a lie that he never looked for Gugu in his life because he didn’t know how to do it. “I’ve seen him several times: when Polegar and Dominó came, he was always there. I was 15 at the time. I asked the musicians and producers. Everyone said they remembered that man there,” said Ilha , accusing Ricardo Rocha of persecuting Gugu Liberato.
The singer also criticized the controversy over the division of Gugu Liberato’s assets and stressed that he considers it absurd that people close to the former presenter of “Domingo Legal” tarnish her image. “What bothers me is that people don’t let the boy rest in peace. The people who are doing this in memory of Gugu don’t like them, they don’t respect him. It’s a great lack of respect,” concluded Rafael Ilha.
