SearchRaphaella shared photos of her recovery and thanked the actress, whom she called her godmother. They met behind the scenes of the series Tremembé.
Actress Marina Ruy Barbosa paid for breast implant surgery for her friend Raphaella Gomez, according to reports by O Tempo, Veja, Correio 24 Horas, and O Globo. After the procedure, Gomez posted photos of her recovery and thanked the actress on social media.
The two met behind the scenes of Tremembé, a Prime Video series. Raphaella worked there as a hairdresser and, according to coverage by Veja and O Globo, told Marina during that time that she wanted to have the procedure. The reports say that, months later, the actress decided to help her and cover the cost of the surgery.
In her post, Gomez called Marina her “godmother” and described the surgery as an important achievement. She also thanked the people who supported her during her recovery and helped her with everyday tasks, such as bathing and doing her hair.
Marina replied in the comments with a message expressing affection and admiration. According to O Tempo and Correio 24 Horas, she congratulated her friend and said she was happy to have been able to help her fulfill that wish.
News reports identify Raphaella as a trans woman and describe her as a visual artist and a makeup and hair professional, in addition to being a hairdresser. The available information does not detail clinical aspects of the procedure or the medical recovery process beyond the photos and expressions of gratitude Gomez posted.
The public prosecutor’s office maintains that the acts do not constitute a crime, but its request does not amount to an acquittal: the case must continue through the Madrid Provincial Court.
