The influencer Viih Tube spoke out about the criticism due to the reality show "As Patroas", created by her and her husband, Eliezer, which features the participation of 11 family employees.
In a series of videos published on Instagram this Thursday (2), the influencer says that the objective of the reality show was to draw public attention to the debate against the 6x1 scale.
"Our intention was to draw attention to talk about the 6x1 scale, which we are against. However, I didn't imagine it would take the proportion it did", he said.
The first episode was published on Tuesday (30) on the influencer's YouTube channel and on the couple's social networks.
After criticism, the video became unavailable on YouTube. The second episode is only available on the influencer's Instagram.

The main test of the premiere consisted of finding coins that were scattered around the house. In the images, Eliezer and Viih Tube spread the objects across an artificial lake, throughout the room and even in the toilet and bathroom trash.
On the afternoon of this Thursday (2), Viih Tube and Eliezer published the second episode of the reality show, which addresses topics such as precarious work and the 6x1 scale.
"The 2nd episode (all washing dirty laundry) was scheduled to come out on Saturday, as previously announced. But, due to the huge repercussion - we wanted your attention, but we didn't imagine all this -, we are posting it today", wrote the influencer.
In defending the reality show, Viih Tube said that, at another time, she lied to increase the publicity of her book "Cancelled - and then raised a debate about fake news. She also defended the participation of her employees in the reality show.
"It is also important to make it clear that they are not obliged to participate. An invitation was made and it was agreed who wanted to have this contractual relationship with us outside of work. They signed an audiovisual production contract and received it as if it were a publicity", he explained.

The repercussion led the Public Ministry of Labor (MPT) in São Paulo to open a procedure to investigate the case.
In a note sent to g1, the agency reported that it "became aware of the activity announced by the influencer through the press and opened a procedure to investigate the facts".
The case also motivated a demonstration by the Superior Labor Court (TST). Humiliating or embarrassing situations may characterize moral harassment.
"The Federal Constitution protects the dignity of the human person, and the Labor Court recognizes liability for abusive conduct. Humiliation is not entertainment. In the work environment, including at home, respect is a duty", stated the TST.
