Fury as TV star sparks outrage as she buys daughter, 12, a sex toy for her birthday

After revealing that she had given her 12-year-old daughter a vibrator as a birthday present, a Brazilian TV actress faced harsh criticism.

Claudia Raia, 58, admitted shockingly to giving the sex toy to her daughter Sophia when she was 12 years old. She made the comment while discussing how to maintain her high sex drive as she menopaused.

While on Goucha, a Portuguese TV programme, she promoted her play Menopausia and discussed the importance of sex toys. She said: “Toys help a lot. Today, vibrators are considered toys that require a doctor’s prescription”. The actress and singer then said of her gift to her daughter: “When she turned 12, I gave her a vibrator”.

After giving Claudia the sex toy, Claudia revealed what she said to her daughter. She said to Sophia: “Go investigate yourself, you’ll find out what you like”. The general public, who went on social media to criticize her parenting approach, did so in response to her honesty.

One angered social media user said Claudia didn’t “respect the innocence of children”, while another said the present was “ridiculour and unnecessary”. Another X/Twitter user called the soap star “very clueless” while one upset person added: “In the past mothers gave dolls”.

“It’s best to talk, explain, and guide girls. There’s no need to give them a vibrator”, another commented. Responding to the backlash, Claudia took to her Instagram page to claim her comments were misinterpreted, saying: “I have always encouraged open dialogue with my children about all topics, including sex education, in a respectful and age-appropriate manner. As a mother, my priority has always been to create an environment of trust and information.

” However, I understand that each family has its own way of dealing with these issues, and I respect that. “Along with her daughter Sophie, born in 2003, she has two other children: Enzo (born in 1997) and Luca (born in 2023). At age 55, users of social media caused her to face criticism when she became pregnant.

” I was massacred on social media. Lots of applause, affection, lots of love, but from women it’s deeper than anything, “she said”. I was in a place where women were 50 years old, on the couch, resting, their children grown up, and I had a child. My body wouldn’t ever come back, and they told me that I was too old to be a grandmother. I’m not part of that generation that looks at comments, I don’t even have time for that, the people who talk to me. It affects me, but I’m not a hostage to that. “
