Behind the scenes of the TV Globo telenovela Vale Tudo, tensions are running high as actor Cauã Reymond finds himself embroiled in two separate controversies involving his co-stars, Bella Campos and Humberto Carrão. Recently, reports have surfaced detailing heated exchanges that have raised eyebrows among fans and industry insiders alike.
The first incident reportedly occurred in the parking lot of the Estúdios Globo, where Cauã Reymond, who plays the character César, allegedly criticized Bella Campos' acting to the show's direction. According to Veja, this prompted Bella to confront Cauã directly, leading to a heated argument that included her pointing a finger at him. In a surprising turn, Cauã denied making any disparaging comments about Bella's performance and attempted to explain himself during the confrontation.
While the initial confrontation seemed to end with the two actors embracing and appearing to resolve their differences, sources indicate that a tense atmosphere had existed between them since the early weeks of filming. Bella reportedly expressed her feelings about Cauã, describing him as "debochado" (mocking), "mau colega" (bad colleague), "displicente" (careless), "agressivo" (aggressive), and "machista" (male chauvinist). She even filed a formal complaint with TV Globo's compliance department regarding his behavior.
As if that wasn't enough drama, Cauã's relationship with Humberto Carrão, who portrays Afonso in the telenovela, has also soured. According to a production source, Humberto is known for his affectionate nature, often touching colleagues as a form of communication. However, this behavior reportedly irked Cauã, who reacted sharply by telling Humberto, "Não toca em mim" ("Don't touch me"). The situation escalated when Humberto repeated the gesture, prompting Cauã to threaten physical aggression, which was only diffused by other cast members stepping in to calm him down.
The fallout from these incidents has garnered significant attention, particularly with the indirect remarks made by Mariana Goldfarb, Cauã Reymond's ex-wife. On April 16, 2025, she took to social media to share a post that read, "Tudo que eu falei sobre misoginia, violência, machismo… está vindo à tona. Ninguém quis escutar. Agora vou assistir de camarote" ("Everything I said about misogyny, violence, machismo... is coming to the surface. Nobody wanted to listen. Now I'm going to watch from the VIP box."). This statement has led many to speculate about the implications of her words in light of Cauã's recent conflicts.
In an official response to the controversies, TV Globo stated, "Não comentamos especulação" ("We do not comment on speculation"), refraining from providing further details about the incidents. However, the network has reportedly taken steps to address the situation, including suspending the filming of scenes featuring Cauã and Bella on the day of their parking lot altercation. Sources suggest that the production team is concerned about the potential impact of the actors' disputes on the overall atmosphere on set and the quality of the show.
Insiders have noted that the tension between Cauã and Bella may have roots that extend beyond their recent confrontations. Reports indicate that Cauã attempted to "direct" Bella during filming, instructing her on how to perform certain scenes, which did not sit well with her. Bella allegedly retorted, "Sou igual mulher grávida, todo mundo quer dar conselho, mas só faço o que eu quero" ("I'm like a pregnant woman, everyone wants to give advice, but I only do what I want"). This exchange highlights the ongoing friction between the two, which has reportedly led to Bella experiencing anxiety since the show's premiere.
As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen how these conflicts will affect the production of Vale Tudo and the relationships among the cast. Fans are left wondering if the on-screen tension between César and Maria de Fátima, the characters played by Cauã and Bella, will mirror the real-life conflicts that have emerged.
In summary, the recent controversies involving Cauã Reymond, Bella Campos, and Humberto Carrão have brought a spotlight on the dynamics behind the scenes of Vale Tudo. As the production navigates these challenges, the implications for the show's future and its cast's relationships remain uncertain.
