Biography

[edit]

Early life and education

[edit]

Cicarelli was born in Belo Horizonte. She is the daughter of Yara Cicarelli and Antonio de Padua Lemos.[2] She is a descendant of Italian immigrants,[3][4][5] and was raised Catholic.[3] Cicarelli started her modeling career when she was about 20 years old[failed verification] in 1996,[citation needed] while still enrolled in a Business Administration course.[3] She moved to São Paulo in 1998. She later graduated with a law degree from FMU.[6][clarification needed]

Career

[edit]

In January 2001, Cicarelli became nationally known in Brazil when she starred in a Pepsi commercial. She then played the character Larissa in the soap opera As Filhas da Mãe, by Silvio de Abreu, as a pair of actor Reynaldo Gianecchini.[7][8] She became the host of Beija Sapo, a blind-date variety show on MTV Brasil.

YouTube controversy

[edit]

In September 2006, a video of Cicarelli having sex with her boyfriend on a beach in Tarifa, Spain[9] was shot by paparazzo Miguel Temprano and broadcast on the TV show Dolce Vita on the Spanish station Telecinco. The video spread around the internet. Cicarelli sued,[clarification needed] and was granted legal injunctions against YouTube and other websites,[10] leading to several Brazilian ISPs blocking YouTube. In January 2007 after a legal decision, YouTube was blocked in Brazil for two days, resulting in 5.7 million users being blocked.[11] This decision was criticized by internet watch groups for being a controversial act that affected millions of users. This happened when Cicarelli worked as a host on MTV Brasil, leading to nearly 80,000 emails protesting the decision. Some individuals also protested outside the TV station.[12][13][14]

In 2007, YouTube won the case, on the basis that there is no expectation of privacy on a public beach. Cicarelli appealed and in 2008 the Supreme Court of the state of São Paulo reversed the decision, ruling that the video violated privacy and lacked public interest.[15] The lawsuit was finally decided in 2015, when Cicarelli and her boyfriend in the video were each awarded damages of R$250,000 (US$64,000) from Google by the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil.[16] YouTube remains active in Brazil.[17][18][19][20]
