Understand the controversy
Maria Veronica became known in the media for being pregnant with quadrigeons – a rare case for medicine. She started interviewing television programs and appearing showing the belly.
At the time, the program of the program presented by Edu Guedes made a furnished room for children, as well as collecting diapers and other utensils to help the children’s family.
The educator announced that she had even chosen the names of the girls: Maria Clara, Maria Vitória, Maria Fernanda and Maria Eduarda.
To deceive the doctors, she used ultrasound exams found on the internet and edited the images to simulate there were four ninens growing in her belly.
Who unmasked the scam was journalist Cris Flores, who suspected the case after an interview and conducted an investigation – finding security camera images in which she appeared leaving her building without her belly when she should be close to giving birth.
