A vítima oportunista: a construção da celebridade Luciana Gimenez.

- Abstract
This paper analyzes stories published in Brazilian printed media about the moment when the TV host Luciana Gimenez became a celebrity, between 1998 and 2000, when she got pregnant by Mick Jagger. Mass media reported the baby’s birth, arguing the private lives of his parents. Mick Jagger, that has betrayed his wife, was seen as a victim of the femme fatale; Luciana Gimenez has self-declared a victim of the single motherhood and media’s judgment. The victimization of the two involved brought together the prejudice against “dangerous” women and perspectives in which women are seen as victims of culture, society and men. This article examines media’s narrative, looking for a counterpoint between the opportunistic woman and victim categories.
