Brazilian court orders Xuxa to pay for unauthorized photo

infomoney.com.br (Portuguese)

Xuxa Meneghel was ordered to pay R$20,000 for posting a childhood photo without permission, a court in Minas Gerais ruled. The photo was used for commercial purposes. The image, taken in 1989, showed a child sleeping with a Xuxa poster. The court found the post on Xuxa's Instagram, promoting a tour, was commercial. Xuxa argued the photo's use was not illicit. The judge determined the photo's use was part of a marketing strategy. Xuxa can still appeal the decision. The post caused confusion, with some media outlets incorrectly identifying the child.
