It's not news to anyone that Rede Globo is ending long contracts for good. However, what is surprising is that the company is not cutting any employees! Among the many people who were dismissed, there are artists from Globo who were fired and you never imagined that this would happen someday!

After decades linked to Rede Globo, some artists will start working for certain work, with shorter contracts. Big shots like Miguel Falabella, Vera Fischer and even Renato Aragão are on this list of those dismissed by the company, but there are even more surprising names!

So let's see who they are? You will definitely be surprised at what's to come!

The most recent fired from Rede Globo is the actress Cleo Pires. On July 24, 2020, in her Instagram Stories, the artist opened the game and talked about changing the way she will work with the broadcaster after years of partnership.

As he announced, from the end of July, his contract with Globo will change and both parties will start to do specific projects.

This means that Cleo Pires will be able to work on other platforms and broadcasters, as she will no longer be an exclusive actress for Rede Globo.

Hired by Globo since 2015, when he was just an intern, journalist Lucas Strabko, better known as Cartolouco, was dismissed by the broadcaster on April 13, 2020.

The reason? too much pranks, which left the relationship between both parties unsustainable.

A fact that proves that Cartolouco's departure from Globo was not amicable was the station's brief note about the departure, whose words went like this: “Lucas Strabko, Cartolouco, is no longer part of the Globo Sport team”.

That is, without much ado and thanks to the work of the former employee.

But not everything was as heavy as it seems!

Cartoloco, as he could not fail to do, drew water from a stone and made a joke out of this critical moment in his life. In a humorous video, the journalist announced that he was fired by Globo and gave a brief summary of everything that happened during his journey at the company.

Although she has not yet been dismissed, since the actress is in the cast of the telenovela Amor de Mãe, Malu Galli will also be part of the list of fired Globo artists and that you never imagined that this would happen!

As reported, she has already been informed that her contract will not be renewed after the end of the plot, which is paralyzed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

After 13 years at the company, Malu Galli told columnist Patrícia Kogut that it was a company decision, where she made great friends and only cool jobs.

He also concluded that they were very happy years working for Globo. Anyway, good luck to her in this new stage of her professional life!

In January 2020, the 'victim' of Globo's fixed casting reduction was the actor Malvino Salvador, 43 years old.

After 16 years on the broadcaster's fixed team, the actor was dismissed when his contract was not renewed. Therefore, he will be hired only for “work”, that is, paid only for what he was scheduled to work.

According to Malvino, he considers his fixed contract to be “irreversible”. The actor claims that the market is changing and everyone has to adapt, which will equalize the level of productions, as more qualified professionals are available in the market.

Finally, he considers Globo's new positioning to be positive. Let's be honest: in this, he is right and we have to agree!

After all, these days, it doesn't make much sense to pay someone who isn't working just to avoid going to a competitor, does it?

Another actor who is part of the team of dismissed Globo artists and who you never imagined would happen is Jose Loreto.

Like Malvino Salvador, he was dismissed by the company in January 2020 after 12 years of professional partnership.

José Loreto has become yet another victim of the company's cost-cutting policy, which has seen its revenues drop by 30% with the pandemic and has been promoting several layoffs in recent times.

According to the press office, “Globo has taken a series of initiatives to prepare it for the challenges of the future”. This includes, of course, general dismissal.

Just one day after José Loreto left TV Globo, his ex-wife, actress Débora Nascimento, also had her contract terminated on July 1 of this year.

In this way, instead of receiving a fixed salary, the artist will start to receive per work produced.

Débora Nascimento acted for the first time in a soap opera on the network in 2007, participating in some episodes of Paraíso Tropical. Her last participation in a Globo production was in 2019, in the soap opera Verão 90, in which she played the character Gigi.

Currently, the actress is on the air as Filomena, a character she played in the soap opera “Êta Mundo Bom!”, and which is being repeated on Globo afternoons.

The month of July was definitely not easy for actress Mariana Rios. After announcing the pregnancy of her first child and then telling her followers that she had suffered a miscarriage, she had to deal in the meantime with her resignation from Rede Globo.

Away from the screens since acting on 'The Voice Brasil' in 2018, Mariana Rios is no longer part of Globo's exclusivity team and may be hired for future projects by work.

However, the artist was already moving away from the station to dedicate herself to her musical career.

Surely, you never imagined seeing this name on the list of fired Globo artists, but yes, it's true!

Actress Bruna Marquezine, considered the station's favorite, was also dismissed due to this new company policy.

Although she claims that she was not fired, the truth is that her contract was not renewed like everyone else on this list. That is, Bruna Marquezine ceased to be a regular actress at Globo and began to receive salary per work.

In official notes, Bruna had expressed her desire to have more time to invest in her studies – in Brazil and abroad – and, by common agreement, the contract was not renewed. However, unofficially, the actress received several criticisms for her poor acting and performance in soap operas.

Another big name from Globo that was not spared by the mass dismissal is the giant of national television drama: author Benedito Ruy Barbosa, 88 years old.

His contract had expired at the end of 2019 and was not renewed.

The excellent work that Benedito Ruy Barbosa did at Globo is undeniable. Still at the station, the author reached prime time in 1993, when he wrote phenomena such as “Renascer” and “O Rei do Gado”.

His last work was the tumultuous soap opera Velho Chico, in 2016, which was marked by the tragic death of the protagonist Domingos Montagner.

Shortly before Benedito Ruy Barbosa was dismissed by Globo, Aguinaldo Silva, another great author of the station, had already been fired as well. For the broadcaster, his dismissal has yielded high levels of savings.

As stated by columnist Fábia Oliveira from the newspaper O Dia, the Rio de Janeiro channel has already shelved R$5 million monthly with the departure of Aguinaldo Silva, as this would be the salary that the author received when one of his soap operas was on the air.

When the novelist's work was not being exhibited, the salary was -amazing! – R$ 3 million! Really, it was quite a cost cut!

There is no one who disagrees that the actor José de Abreu is a somewhat controversial figure. He is always in the news, either for his political position or for his love relationships.

However, he also appeared in the media when it was announced that he had been dropped by Globo. That is, one more for the list of artists from Globo who have been fired in recent times!

Behold, then, we have reached the final stretch of our text! In this top 5 of Globo artists fired, you will see the names of employees who are the face of the station and who never, but never, thought that the person would be dismissed.

Check it out and be surprised!

Stênio Garcia, 88 years old and almost 70 years old, is an actor who dedicated his professional life almost exclusively to Rede Globo.

However, even so he escaped the widespread cut promoted by the company.

According to the actor, he was floored by his resignation.

Even when his contract termination was still a rumor and there was no official statement, he released a video on social networks asking the authors to write a character for him in order to keep him at Globo.

Unfortunately, his request was in vain and he ended up being fired by the broadcaster.

So it is! Even presenter Zeca Camargo became a victim of Rede Globo's mass dismissal.

Revealed in the universe of TV stations by MTV, the journalist was part of Globo's cast for 24 years, with passages by Fantástico, Vídeo Show and No Limite. Recently, he was one of the presenters of É de Casa.

At Globo, Zeca Camargo had an estimated salary of R$300,000. With this, his resignation was part of the station's plan to reduce its expenses.

The bright side of this news is that the presenter made a very positive announcement about his departure, saying that good things will come. So be it!

Surprisingly, actor, presenter and director Miguel Falabella is one of the artists fired from Globo and you would never imagine that this would happen.

He, who was at the station for almost four decades, during which time he established himself as a great talent, also did not have his contract renewed.

Comments aside, Miguel Falabella previously appeared on our blog after assuming his sexual orientation after not mentioning the subject for a long time.

However, as he had never spoken publicly that he was homosexual, the actor defended himself by stating that he never hid anything from anyone and was always honest with himself.

One of the greatest stars of Brazilian cinema and television, actress Vera Fischer was dumped, in early June 2020, by Rede Globo after 43 years of work at the station.

At the house, he was present in more than twenty soap operas and series, playing great roles, such as the protagonist Helena in the unforgettable soap opera Laços de Família.

In a statement, the company issued the following statement:

“Thus, in tune with the transformations our market is going through, Globo has been adopting new partnership dynamics with its talents. Vera Fischer, like other talents, has the company's doors open to work on future projects on our multiple platforms”.

To end our list, we could not fail to mention the comedian Renato Aragão, whose resignation surprised everyone. After 44 years at Globo, the artist did not have his contract renewed with the broadcaster in June 2020.

The eternal Didi stated that this will be a new stage in his life and that he will never stop. Even after his departure from Globo, Renato Aragon spoke who plans to make A Praça é Nossa, humorous program of competitor SBT.

With this non-renewal, we conclude our text on the dismissed Globo artists. As we can see, it is undeniable that the station is strictly following its new employee hiring policy.

It remains for us to wait for the next chapters of this soap opera because, for sure, there will be more surprising names being dismissed by the company. Who lives will see!
