Pedro Cardoso accuses the producer of “stealing” the series he created

According to the actor, “Area of ​​Service” was created by him and his wife, Graziella Moretto, for the HBO Max streaming platform.

Actor Pedro Cardoso (“A Grande Família”) posted a video on Instagram accusing the producers and employees of Warner of “stealing” the “Area de Serviço” series, which he and his wife, actress Graziella Moretto (” O Signo da Cidade “), created for the HBO Max streaming platform.

Cardoso says he and Moretto had “the guidance of the authorship of the series stolen by Dueto Produções with the connivance of WarnerMedia employees.” Despite the quote, WarnerMedia is currently the Warner Bros. Discovery company.

In the 13-minute video, Cardoso claims that he and his wife had invited Dueto to act as the co-producer of “Área de Serviço,” which mocks social differences. However, he accuses Dueto partner Monique Gardenberg of kicking him out of the project and promoted to series general manager, with the right to final edit, after a secret negotiation with HBO owner Max. actors of the project, without greater creative participation in the series that, according to Cardoso, they had created themselves.

“Graziella and I have become addicted to the work we had done. Isn’t stealing anymore?” says the actor in the video.

The actor cites Silvia Fu, senior director of content at Warner, and directors Homero Olivetto, Olivia Guimarães and Dani Braga, hired by Dueto, as responsible for the “destruction of the series” by cutting scenes, not understanding the play between the characters and losing time with “useless”. The actor also claims to have evidence of the allegations he makes and will not hesitate to take them to the public.

“Service area” should accompany Jacinto, a Brazilian who grew up in Portugal, who returns to the country and stays in an aunt’s villa, where he begins to live with his employees and experiences unusual situations. Cardoso describes the series as “a project in defense of democracy and a denunciation of the main reasons for the eternal Brazilian fascism”.

“It is a crime that this project has been destroyed. A crime against Graziella and against me, but also against the public interest,” adds the 60-year-old actor, saying that these problems could lead to his retirement. He has not said whether he intends to go to court to recover the “Service Area” rights.

In May, Patricia Kogut’s column in the newspaper O Globo revealed that part of the series team had resigned after sending an open letter denouncing “situations of abuse on the set that have intensified over the weeks” and which, despite appeals, have not been resolved. On Instagram Cardoso did not address the incident, but said his opponents will certainly accuse him of despotism.

The production of “Area di Servizio” started last November. Registrations, which began in January, have already been completed.

Monique Gardenberg said in a statement that she will comment on Cardoso’s allegations “in court”.

“It was the affection we had for Pedro and Graziella that made us embrace the series. In 40 years of history, Dueto has built a trajectory of success, credibility and respect and has never been involved in any litigation. level of aggression and disrespect for us and for the team members, we will not manifest ourselves publicly. Our demonstration will take place in the judicial instance, where Pedro will have the opportunity to expose his accusations, “the note reads.

Also in a statement, HBO Max said it would not comment on “the internal affairs of its employees and talents.” “HBO Max informs that all productions and partnerships with Brazilian production companies are carried out in mutual agreement with all parties involved, respecting and complying with legal requirements. We value and cultivate relationships of trust with our talents, creators and collaborators and compliance with the laws and requirements between all parties involved in our productions. It should be noted that the company does not comment on the internal issues of its employees and talents, as well as on launch strategies “, summarizes the note.
