Marcelo Dourado was arrested by military police in 2005, along with 27 others, for consuming drugs in an electronic music party in Rio de Janeiro. He was caught smoking marijuana. After being detained for several hours, he was released.[2]
Big Brother Brasil
Season 4
In January 2004, he was part of the cast in Big Brother Brasil 4. During his first time in the house, Dourado started a relationship with fellow housemate Juliana. On March 8, 2004, he became the eighth housemate to be evicted with 68% of the votes, finishing seventh overall.
Season 10
In January 2010, he was again part of the cast in Big Brother Brasil 10.[3] During his second time in the house, Dourado caused disagreements and controversies by displaying manjis in a tattoo on his left arm, which were taken to be swastikas.,[4] He was also accused of homophobic behavior by some LGBT organizations.[5] Dourado's adviser, Aline Antonoff, issued a press release, in which she stated that the tattoo differs from the Nazi swastika, because it is reversed, and has no connection with it, since the symbol belongs to several cultures. She also denied that the fighter is homophobic.[6]
On March 30, 2010, Dourado became the winner of Big Brother Brasil with 60% of the 154 million votes, defeating dentist Fernanda Cardoso and personal trainer Cadu Parga in the final to take the R$1,500,000 prize.[7]
