A recent online feud has erupted between two prominent young influencers, Duda Guerra and Antonela Braga, centering around Benício Huck, the son of famous Brazilian television personalities Luciano Huck and Angélica Ksyvickis. The drama began during a trip to Gramado, Brazil, where tensions flared after Antonela, 16, requested to follow Benício, 17, on his private Instagram account, known as 'dix'. This account is reserved for close friends, and Duda, Benício's girlfriend, was not pleased with the request.
On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, both Duda and Antonela took to TikTok to share their sides of the story, each garnering significant attention online. Duda expressed her frustration, claiming that Antonela's request was inappropriate given that Benício is a reserved person who does not share his private life with just anyone. "Everything started on the first day of the trip. My boyfriend sent me a screenshot saying that Antonela had requested to follow his 'dix' with her own 'dix'. For those who don’t know, 'dix' is a private account, not a regular one. My boyfriend is already a reserved person, and the 'dix' is only for best friends. They are not friends, they don't belong to the same social circle, and they have never even met," Duda explained.
In her defense, Antonela stated that her intentions were purely curious, emphasizing that she was not trying to pursue Benício romantically. "I just wanted to follow him because I was curious. He is the son of famous people. That doesn’t mean I was hitting on him, but Duda wanted to take advantage of the situation to get closer to people who would give her more engagement. She spoke very rudely to me, and everyone thought I was doing something very wrong. I had nothing to say,” Antonela recounted in her TikTok video, which has since gone viral, amassing over 1.2 million views.
Adding to the drama, Duda felt that Antonela was trying to undermine her relationship with Benício. "My boyfriend is not a celebrity like Cauã Reymond, who has an open Instagram. Antonela doesn't have that kind of intimacy to ask to follow his private profile," Duda remarked. She also mentioned that she confronted Antonela directly about the request, which led to a heated exchange in front of others.
Antonela claimed that she helped Duda grow her social media presence when she was just starting out, having supported her through her initial rise from 15,000 followers. "I was surprised after everything we went through together, considering I was by her side when she started. It was very beneficial for her to be around bigger influencers," Antonela said, expressing her disappointment with Duda's reaction.
The fallout from this incident has not only intensified the rivalry between the two influencers but has also sparked a wave of public opinion. Many social media users sided with Antonela, arguing that her curiosity was natural given Benício's celebrity status. Comments flooded in, with some users criticizing Duda’s reaction. "What a scene! And you still say he sent you the screenshot," one follower remarked. Another added, "Sorry Duda, I love you, but this is silly... you went too far this time." Others speculated about the potential repercussions for Benício, with one user suggesting, "Now that Angélica will flip out, involving her son in this petty drama. She hates this kind of nonsense."
As the controversy continues to unfold, Antonela has seen a surge in her social media following, now boasting over four million followers on TikTok and nearing two million on Instagram. This incident appears to have inadvertently boosted her profile, as she gains support from those who view her actions as harmless curiosity.
In the midst of this social media storm, both influencers have been vocal about their experiences, with Duda stating, "I went to Antonela’s room to talk to her, and she looked at my face and said, 'I’m wrong, I’m sorry,' and I just replied, 'Get better.'" This exchange highlights the complexity of their relationship, which seems to have shifted from friendship to rivalry in a matter of days.
This incident not only reflects the intense scrutiny faced by young influencers but also showcases how quickly online conflicts can escalate in the public eye. As the story develops, fans and followers are left to wonder what the future holds for Duda, Antonela, and their intertwined lives in the world of social media.
