According to her, the materials indicated that the employees were aware of the dynamics of the reality show. Despite this, the influencer acknowledged that the exhibition raised questions about the way domestic workers were presented to the public. "Even though it was agreed, scripted, anyway, all of this you already know, but it doesn't take away the fact that we influenced people. We have a huge audience that cannot normalize the situation we put them in," he said. As part of the agreement with the MPT, the couple must publish three educational videos on the rights of domestic workers. According to the influencer, this content will be a way of transforming the situation into an awareness-raising action. “We are going to make lemonade out of this situation with the MPT, to really educate people about the rights and duties of each employee you have in your home, especially domestic workers”, he stated. She explained that the content will not be a resumption of the reality show nor will it directly address the case, but will aim to guide workers and employers on labor legislation. “I will still appear talking about this subject not directly, but indirectly, so that you are not taken by surprise either,” he said. g1 reached out to influencers Viih Tube and Eliezer, but did not receive a response until the last update of this report. Viih Tube and Eliezer's reality show will have a prize of more than R$ 20 thousand Reproduction/YouTube Understand the MPT's decision The agreement ended the investigation opened by the Public Ministry of Labor to investigate possible violations related to the reality show “As Patroas”. The program placed 11 of the couple's domestic workers in a competition with tests and challenges in exchange for prizes, such as money and reduced working hours. Among the dynamics shown, there was a test in which participants needed to look for plastic coins inside toilet bowls and trash cans. For the MPT, the public exposure of workers and the use of their image in a production for commercial purposes raised questions about possible violations of labor rights. Through the TAC, influencers committed to: not producing or disseminating content that exposes domestic employees or other workers to humiliating or humiliating situations; not require or encourage the participation of employees in reality shows or similar productions; ensure that future worker participation in audiovisual content is voluntary and formalized in writing; not retaliate against employees who refuse invitations or report irregularities. In case of non-compliance with the rules set out in the agreement, a fine of R$50,000 per clause violated is expected, in addition to R$5,000 per worker harmed. The compensation of R$350,000 for collective moral damage will not be allocated directly to the employees involved. The amount will be sent to a public fund, such as the Diffuse Rights Defense Fund (FDD), used to finance projects of collective interest. Reality will no longer be able to show routine with employees In another story published after the statement, the influencer answered questions from her followers about the payment of compensation and the relationship with the employees. She explained that the money from the collective moral damage will not be passed on to the workers. "And the question you asked me most today was whether the money we are going to pay for collective moral damages will go to the girls here at home. And no, people, it won't," he wrote. She also informed that the couple will no longer be able to record or publish content showing their routine with domestic workers, one of the measures provided for in the agreement. "We will no longer be able to show/record our routine with them, as one of the conduct adjustments. I know they loved watching and we laughed a lot, but I preferred to let them know so they wouldn't think that we no longer want to record something with them", he stated. According to her, the employees are still doing well and understood the decision, although they were sad about the reality show ending. Viih Tube hides his reality coin inside the toilet. Reproduction
