Biography [
🤶 edit ]
Cicarelli was born in Belo Horizonte, daughter of Yara Cicarelli and Antonio de
Padua Lemos.[2] She is a descendant 🤶 of Italian immigrants.[3][4][5]
As a model, Daniela
started her profession when she was about 20 years old, in parallel to the 🤶 Business
Administration course in the city of Belo Horizonte.[3] She only took on the modeling
career after moving to São 🤶 Paulo. Later graduating in Law at the FMU.[6]
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]
Controversies [
edit ]
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 was
spread around the 🤶 internet, with Cicarelli being 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 an extremely selfish act. This happened when Cicarelli
worked 🤶 as a host on MTV Brasil, leading to nearly 80,000 emails protesting against the
blockade and her legal actions. Some 🤶 people even went to the building of the TV station
to protest.[12][13][14]
In 2007, YouTube won the case, based on 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 changed the decision, on grounds of lack of public
interest and invasion of privacy.[15] The lawsuit 🤶 was finally determined in 2024, 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]
