Rede Globo temporarily removed, on Tuesday (15), the artistic director of the soap opera “Nos Tempos do Imperador”, Vinicius Coimbra, accused of racism by three actresses in the cast. According to Notícias da TV, Coimbra, who was going to direct the next six o’clock soap opera, “Mar do Sertão”, was replaced by Allan Fiterman.
The compliance department of the carioca broadcaster was called to investigate a complaint of racial discrimination practiced in the work environment. The complaint, initially published by Monica Bergamo, from Folha de São Paulo, came from actresses Cinnara Leal, Dani Ornellas and Roberta Rodrigues.

Directors Ricardo Waddington and José Luiz Villamarim were notified of the complaints and said they would take action. Without any change in behavior during the recordings, the actresses formalized the complaint to Globo’s compliance.
The accusations are that Coimbra would segregate the actors of the soap opera between whites and blacks and would have prejudiced lines – the dressing rooms would also be separated according to the skin tone of the artists.
The soap opera, early on, also generated controversy by portraying an episode of “reverse racism”, which generated a public apology from the author, Thereza Falcão. Afterwards, Globo also hired consultants for a historical review and to point out errors and flaws in the script.
Globo said it does not comment on cases under investigation by its compliance department. The actresses are waiting for the investigation to decide whether to open a criminal case against Coimbra, who stated that he would not comment on the matter.
