Fans comment on the absence of Neymar's 3rd daughter in the World Cup after controversy
The absence of Helena, 1, third daughter of Neymar, 34, from the Brazilian team's games at the 2026 World Cup continues to resonate on social media. After Amanda Kimberlly explained why the girl didn't travel to accompany her father, internet users began to debate the issue and were divided between criticizing the influencer and the player.
On the one hand, some users criticize the influencer. On the other hand, internet users believe that the responsibility for the girl's absence could not be attributed to her, since, according to reports, there was never an invitation for Helena to be present at the games.
"There's no point trying to justify it, an invitation would make all the difference (it would show the daughter's desire to be around). And if the daughter was accepted out of wedlock, unfortunately the child's mother has to be accepted in some situations", commented one person. "Your daughter can go, beloved (she has every right), you're the one who doesn't have to go!", said another. "'I took away everyone's visa'. I wanted to take everyone on Ney's back (laughs)", said another.
Understand controversy
After some internet users stated that Amanda Kimberlly had not let her daughter accompany Neymar to the World Cup, the influencer used social media to state that the situation did not happen due to lack of interest.
She stated that she arranged visas for Helena and the nannies about a month before the tournament, but said that the girl's presence was never requested by Neymar or people close to the player.
Amanda also denied that she prevented her daughter from traveling. In an outburst, he stated that "there was no invitation for a refusal" and said that he doesn't even know if he would be welcome. She also commented on the repercussion caused by a friend who appeared wearing a Seleção shirt with Neymar's name crossed out and replaced with "Amanda Kim", stating that the attitude was an individual decision and that she and her daughter should not be held responsible for the episode.
After the statement, influencer Samara Costa, a friend of Neymar, came to the attacker's defense. On social media, she stated that Helena, who is just one year old, should remain in Brazil with her mother, arguing that the player is focused during the World Cup and that the trip would not be necessary for a child of that age.
In addition to Helena, Neymar is the father of more children: Davi Lucca, 14 years old, from his relationship with Carol Dantas; Mavie, 2 years old, and Mel, 11 months old, from her relationship with Bruna Biancardi, who is pregnant with another girl.
