Gabriel Medina Caught Up in Thwarted Terror Plot at Lady Gaga’s Rio Concert

Satanist pedophiles target Lady Gaga and almost take out three-times world champ Medina!

Surf fans will never know how close they came to losing one of the sport’s greats after it was revealed Brazilian authorities had foiled a bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga’s historic concert on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach, attended by over 2.1 million fans, including Gabriel Medina.

The plot, uncovered through “Operation Fake Monster,” was orchestrated by a group promoting hate speech against children, adolescents, and the LGBTQ+ community. The suspects, posing as Gaga’s “Little Monsters” fans, used encrypted online networks to recruit teenagers for attacks involving improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails.

Cops made two arrests: a man in Rio Grande do Sul, described as the group’s leader, charged with illegal firearm possession, and a teenager in Rio detained for child pornography possession. A third person was charged with terrorism, allegedly planned a “satanist ritual” involving child murder, believing Gaga was a satanist, according to police officer Maria Luiza Machado.

The group’s manifesto, as reported by authorities, was rooted in extremist ideology disseminated via “digital cells” using coded language and symbols. It encouraged self-harm, pedophilia, and violent acts as a form of social belonging, targeting vulnerable youth.

Rio police chief Felipe Cury confirmed the plot was motivated by anti-LGBTQ+ prejudice, with the group exploiting Gaga’s inclusive fanbase, which includes Gabriel Medina and guy-pal Pedro Scooby.

Lady Gaga, openly bisexual since 2009, is a global queer icon, and is celebrated for her connection to the LGBTQ+ community. Her 2011 album Born This Way and its title track, with lyrics like “No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgender life,” became a revolutionary anthem, fostering acceptance.

She founded the Born This Way Foundation in 2011 to support LGBTQ+ youth, focusing on mental health and anti-bullying initiatives. Gaga’s activism includes speaking at the 2009 National Equality March, protesting “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (repealed 2011), and condemning anti-trans policies, such as Trump’s 2017 military ban.

Her 2019 WorldPride speech at Stonewall addressed bi-erasure, sparking vital conversations. Songs like “Americano” (lesbian love) and “Babylon” (vogue culture) resonate deeply with queer fans.

Three years ago, Brazilian media speculated that Gabriel Medina, like Lady Gaga, was also a member of the LGBTQ+ community and that his friendship with soccer great Neymar Jr had  blossomed into something more substantial.

In 2019, Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro, a favourite of Gabriel Medina, told the country’s leading biz magazine Exame, “If you want to come here and have sex with a woman, go for your life. But we can’t let this place become known as a gay tourism paradise. Brazil can’t be a country of the gay world, of gay tourism. We have families.”

Confusing!

Further, Brazilian media is reporting that Medina “spent most of the time with a serious expression and appeared to be in a bad mood. The athlete was accompanied by friends and stayed in a reserved area but did not interact much with other attendees. Videos circulating on social media show him with his arms crossed and a distant look during the performance of hits like Bad Romance and Shallow.”
