At the end of HBO Max’s recently launched series “Meu Ayrton by Adriane Galisteu,” which depicts the relationship between a pilot and host, an on-screen warning appears. The production said it had invited Xuxa, who was the F1 star’s girlfriend from 1988 to 1990, and Xuxa’s family from São Paulo to collaborate on the documentary. However, none of them accepted the proposal. But in the end, why?

“The Senna family has been invited to participate in this documentary. Bianca Sena.” (Ayrton’s niece)on behalf of the family, informed them that due to contractual commitments they could not accept the invitation,” the producers explained in the final episode, and the same justification was given by Shuksa: “The presenter Shuksa Menegel also refused the invitation to participate, pointing out the contractual commitments.”

However, Shuksa and Senna’s families are mentioned in several places during the production of the two episodes, each one hour long. “The opinions and comments presented are of a personal nature and expressed as an exercise of freedom of expression,” the production said.
The film, which is family-free, is devoted to listening to the stories of the pilot’s friends, including Ayrton’s former press adviser, Bettisse Assumpção, and Luisa Eugenia Conder, the widow of Ayrton’s career mentor from São Paulo, businessman Antonio Carlos de Almeida Braga, known as Braguinha.
“Meu Ayrton by Adriane Galisteu” arrives in the streaming catalog less than a year after the premiere of the pilot’s family-supported Netflix miniseries “Senna.” Adrian Galisteu, played by actress Giulia Fioti, had just over three minutes of screen time in the film starring Gabriel Leone. The reduction in space caused criticism from the audience. However, Adrian emphasizes that this documentary is not a “response” to what is presented (or not) in fiction.
–That’s not any kind of controversy. This documentary is not the answer, she said at a press conference promoting the documentary. — I’m not a woman to criticize what you do to me. Because my mom taught me that you don’t have to tell others when they’re wrong. Please claim that my opinion is correct.
At the beginning of the first episode, the host says, “Not even Ayrton’s family would be able to tell his story as a man,” and several interviewees claim that the family never approved of Ayrton’s young modeling or other love choices. “The family never liked the girlfriend. They wanted complete control over the man,” press secretary Bettis Asampusan stressed.
