Real Madrid forward Vini Jr., who is in a relationship with Virginia Fonseca, filed a lawsuit in Rio de Janeiro demanding R$ 100,000 in moral damages from influencer Nina Hoffmann after she publicized an alleged online interaction. The lawsuit proceeds under seal.
Judicial order dictates deletion of digital content
A court in Rio de Janeiro granted an injunction compelling Nina Hoffmann to take down the publication displaying the purported virtual contact with the athlete.
Defense rejects claims of communication and alleges financial motives
Legal representatives for Vini Jr. affirmed that the player never engaged in digital communication with the influencer. They asserted that Nina Hoffmann manufactured the situation to capitalize on the footballer’s public profile for financial opportunities. The defense firmly denied any wrongdoing by the Real Madrid star.
Measures established by the judicial proceedings
- Financial compensation claim of R$ 100,000 for moral injury.
- Mandatory deletion of the online post ordered by the Rio de Janeiro court.
- Case confidentiality preserved under judicial secrecy.
Attorneys representing the Real Madrid forward stated that the athlete never maintained any contact with Nina Hoffmann and argued that she deliberately exploited his worldwide athletic prominence across digital platforms to generate public attention and secure potential financial advantages.
Origin of the social media dispute in August
The dispute emerged in August when Nina Hoffmann released an image claiming Vini Jr. reacted with an open mouth emoji to a bikini photograph on her social profile. She asserted that her goal was not to disturb Virginia Fonseca during the episode.
“In my view, I found it a ridiculous and inappropriate attitude, especially because he was dating someone and, even so, sent a message and reacted to my Instagram in that way,” Hoffmann stated.
Nina Hoffmann also stated that she attended private parties with Vini Jr. in Madrid and Barcelona. She claimed to have evidence regarding interactions between the footballer and an adult film actress during those events.
