Leonor Poeiras, former TVI presenter
Former TVI presenter spent 5 years in court with television, promises to reveal details about the case in an interview to be announced and has already started exposing data from the STJ.
Leonor Poeiras lost the legal case against the channel, which took place over the last five years. The news was shared by herself on social media this Saturday and, this Sunday, the former TVI presenter already began to reveal details about the process.
“I lost. They lost everyone who gave green receipts to the same entity for years and years… those who wear the shirt, those who give everything they have, every day of work”, began writing the presenter.
The former presenter was demanding one million and 286 thousand euros in compensation for alleged unjustified dismissalafter being fired from the channel — where she worked for 17 years — in May 2020.
The São Paulo broadcaster had already won the case in February 2023, but Poeiras appealed in January last year.
Now, despite the Supreme Court of Justice (STJ) recognizing the possibility of an employment relationship in her case, it considered that TVI managed to refute this legal presumption, something that Leonor Poeiras considers wrong.
“In fact, the Supreme Court of Justice understood that the legal presumption of an employment contract with TVI was abstractly applicable to my case (17 years), and that this presumption had to be verified. But the STJ considered that, from the ‘overall analysis’ of the facts found, TVI would have been able to evade (remove) such a presumption”, said Leonor Poeiras.
“It is assumed that there is an employment contract. However, the STJ decides that there is no employment relationship because my work has always been autonomous (international formats included)”, he wrote this Sunday in X, in a publication accompanied by the ruling.
Okay…
The existence of an employment contract is presumed.
However, the STJ decides that there is no employment relationship because my work has always been autonomous (international formats included).🤌🏼

The former presenter announced that her lawyer is already evaluating the trial and the possibilities of taking the case to international courts. Despite the defeat, the presenter assured that she will not give up on getting justice.
“Overcome but not at all convincedmy lawyer is already analyzing the ruling and the possibilities of continuing the consideration of the issue, notably in international courts”, he announced.
With the sentence now passed, Leonor Poeiras is free to give interviews and share details about the process.
“I can now finally talk about everything that happened… and I will determine who to give this interview to”, she also said, thanking her son, Antônio, and the team of lawyers who accompanied her.
“Cristina helped”
“I lost my usual job”, complained the former presenter on the radio program Renascença, in June last year — one of the many times she criticized TVI.
The former TVI presenter also revealed in the same program that the TVI “boss”, Cristina Ferreirawas one of his witnesses, who “helped to establish the truth”.
“Chinese store” and José Figueiras
“TVI is the gala dress from the Chinese storewith the sequins. I’m not talking about the presentation part, I’m talking in general, that’s what the content is”, he said on Joana Marques’ program, removing the nickname “stop-gap”, in comparisons to José Figueiras.
“Nothing against José Figueiras, but I think I have another charisma. But I was a filler for a long time and it was exactly because of this that I have the honor of having more programs presented on my CV than any other presenter. More than 25 formats, no presenter presented so many formats. And I presented it because I replaced them all”, he said, quoted by .
“The other day they asked me if I hadn’t processed [a TVI]now it could be on another channel. This question doesn’t even make sense to me because I I would never accept being deeply humiliated as I was in May 2020by someone who had recently arrived where I had been for 17 years”, he said, referring to Nuno Santos, General Director of TVI.
