Veteran of ‘cancellation’ on the internet, Carlinhos Maia got into yet another controversy this Wednesday, 3.

What caught attention, however, was the lack of protective equipment for workers. The negligence generated a flood of criticism on social media.

In the video in question, Carlinhos Maia records the employees while giving instructions. “That’s it! I don’t want to see anyone standing around, no. Cleaning the coconut trees, holding them there, then moving on to the next one, and so on”, he says. In the recording, one of the women gives a hand to the other, who is cleaning the plant with a cloth.

The moment posted by the influencer to his more than 30 million followers soon spread across the internet. On X (formerly Twitter), an internet user commented: “This is absurd on so many levels…”. Another asked: “How can someone still film this and think it’s beautiful?”

After the repercussion of the video, the employees’ clothes also began to attract public attention. This is because the uniforms worn by them have embroidery with the acronyms of Carlinhos’ name and Lucas Guimarãesyour husband.

Unlike the lack of safety in cleaning coconut trees, which outraged most internet users, the case of uniforms divided opinions. On the same social network, a profile wrote: “I think it’s an unnecessary exaggeration to make employees become walking billboards for their bosses.”

However, most of the comedian’s followers assured that wearing the personalized clothing was a choice made by the employees themselves. “Carlinhos didn’t force anyone, they wanted to use it themselves”, defended one internet user.

With all the repercussion, the influencer came forward to speak out on the matter. In X, he mocked the negative comments: “Guys, relax, I’m not hiring, okay? Stay at peace and go back to your work”, he wrote.
