Source-derived summary

Viviany Beleboni (born in Torres on 3 July 1989) is a Brazilian actress and model. She became internationally known after reenacting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at the 19th São Paulo LGBTQ Pride Parade in 2015. She wore a flower crown, suspended by her wrists on a cross, under a sign that read "Basta de homofobia" (lit. 'enough of homophobia').

In 2016, also at the São Paulo LGBTQ Pride Parade, she dressed up as Lady Justice and carried a Bible and a banner that read "bancada evangélica: retrocesso" (lit. 'evangelical caucus: regression'). In 2017, she participated in the Pride Parade dressed in military attire, expressing criticism of the persecution of LGBTQ people in Chechnya, religious fundamentalism, and the exclusion of LGBTQ people from military service.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “brazilian actress and model” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131756406. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
