Key details
The year-end celebration for the 'Sabadou' program on SBT, hosted by Virgínia Fonseca, ended amid controversy as the event failed to meet supplier expectations tied to barter agreements. Organized by the network, the party was arranged without financial payments, relying instead on exchanged promotional opportunities between suppliers and the host.
Suppliers anticipated marketing benefits through photo opportunities with Virgínia. However, she reportedly stayed less than thirty minutes, taking only five photos before abruptly leaving. Following her early departure, food deliveries stopped due to unfulfilled agreements, leaving attendees and vendors frustrated and feeling abandoned. One participant expressed dissatisfaction in a TikTok video, stating, "She left everyone hanging, everyone is upset here."
The suppliers convened to discuss the fallout from unmet obligations. Despite the tension, Virgínia has not publicly commented on the situation. This incident highlights risks inherent in barter-based event arrangements, especially when commitments like promotional engagements are not honored.
