Brazilian singer Zé Felipe is demanding a retraction over online rumors concerning the paternity of his daughter, Maria Alice, according to UOL. In a video message reported by the outlet, he called on the person spreading the claim to publicly deny it, saying he came to ask for it to be refuted.
The rumor also drew a response from Virginia Fonseca's ex, who rejected the suggestion that he could be Maria Alice's father, according to CNN Brasil. He said the claim had gone past the limit. Terra reports that the same person denied the paternity rumor and said he would take the matter to court.
Coverage of the episode was picked up by several Brazilian outlets. Globo reported that Zé Felipe reacted angrily to the comment about the paternity of his children and described it as his limit. Estrelando also reported that Virginia Fonseca's ex rejected what it called fake news on the subject, calling the claim absurd.
