Carlos Tevez Sues TV Show Over ‘Ugly Carlitos’ Parody
By Chris Wright
Carlos Tevez has taken legal action against an Argentinian comedy show after taking umbrage at an animated segment that parodies him and his relationship with his girlfriend, actress Brenda Asnicar.
The sketch in question is called Carlitos Feo’ (which translates as ‘Ugly Carlitos’), a stop-motion animated sketch that appeared on America network’s ‘Un Mundo Perfecto’ variety show last week.
‘Carlitos Feo’ sees a Tevez doll lounging in his Manchester home, touching himself inappropriately, informing Asnicar that he had urinated in a vase whilst watching football earlier then ordering a pizza only for his girlfriend to be eaten by a crocodile as a result.
Grade A hilarity, I’m sure you’ll agree, though Tevez was less than amused – confirming, via his lawyer, that he plans to sue Un Mundo Perfecto for both ‘defamation of character’ and ‘attacks against his honor’.
Tevez’s legal representative Ana Rosenfeld told Ciudad:
“Mr. Tevez decided to initiate legal action against all those who made humorous comments about this subject during the show, including ‘Un Mundo Perfecto’ host Roberto Pettinato.
“[Tevez] can’t accept the indignity of a parody which claims that he used to heat up his urine to drink it when he was growing up in Fuerte Apache because he didn’t have anything to eat.”
According to reports emanating from Argentina, Tevez is asking for over half a million dollars in his lawsuit and has already forced Un Mundo Perfecto to cease broadcasting any further ‘Ugly Carlitos’ sketches.

Because Tevez needs half a mil.
That’s actually really funny. It shouldn’t be, but it is.
maybe he can spend that half mil on some cosmetic surgery
lets be 100% honest here. I have no doubt Tevez knows the media mock his features , (look at any web comic depiction of him, as well as commentators (I’ve heard him described as a bull dog many times)) but this is in his home country, for him, it would be embarrassing had his daughters, or any other family members seen this. yeah Tevez will sue for millions, but the show has the money. and I have no doubt in my mind had this been done in usa, where the sketch blatantly insults the athlete/celebs appearance rather than character.They would also be sued.
or tevez could get a sense of humour…they’re laughing at the fact hes ugly, not damming his character
Not in his own country. In the USA, they would sue as well. Not funny
I don’t know if this is really any worse than some of the stuff Crakovia does. They really take the piss out of all of the guys from Real and Barca and none of them complain. Some of them have even guest-starred on the show.
I think he’s fooling himself, if he doesn’t realise that he’s ugly.
I doubt anyone in the US would sue. Firstly, it’s a parody and secondly, Freedom of Speech is protected under the First Amendment.
KPV – I hate you again.

Lil Carlito needs to relax a bit. It’s a fucking puppet show get over yourself Tevez. Besides I heard he does actually drink a little urine from time to time, who doesn’t?
