“"Those of us who studied in Brazil know that kissing a woman of the same sex doesn't mean being lesbians, but rather love for one's neighbor... And we kissed each other well, it's normal 😅," Maira Santos expressed in her post, contextualizing the affectionate gesture between the artists.
Internet users, in turn, expressed diverse opinions about the situation.
