A BRAZILIAN model who starred on Big Brother in her homeland was reportedly duped into sleeping with a Richarlison lookalike.
Andre Noruega, a video editor for Viaplay Sport, told of the bizarre incident – saying that the stunner named Tina had made the claims while appearing on the reality TV show.
He said they met at Camarote Brahma, in the Carnival of São Paulo last month on social media.
Noruega tweeted: “Brazilian model Tina said on Big Brother Brasil that she spent an intimate night with Richarlison during Carnaval.”
However, Richarlison denied the claim – insisting he wasn’t in Brazil for those dates and was playing for his club, Tottenham.
The Spurs star then pointed the finger at doppelganger Mateus Marcelino as the man responsible on social media.
Astonishingly, Marcelino also denied he shared night with Tina – although he was at the carnival.
Step-forward Felipe Lima, ANOTHER dead-ringer for Richarlison, who admitted on social media it was HIM who wooed Tina.
“Richarlison, I’m sorry. Carnival was so crazy, you have to take it,” he confessed on Twitter.
“If I had known that I was going to be out there, I wouldn’t even have accepted being with her. I was the one who stayed, not you”
Felipe added that Tina was sworn to secrecy about their liason.
After the mystery was resolved, Richarlison amusingly began following the lookalike on Instagram.
“Family, it hasn’t sunk in yet. Felipe, who earns a living making appearances as a Richarlison lookalike, wrote on Twitter.
“Thank you very much, my idol. Just a thought: never give up on your dreams”.
On the dates of the carnival (February 19th and 26th), Richarlison played for Spurs against West Ham and Chelsea.
He never flew to Brazil to party.
