The origin video of Sit there, Cláudia 553362
in your program Children's Club, which aired between 1983 and 1986 on the defunct TV Headline, Xuxa had the habit of receiving the famous little ones to compete in games that gave their famous and much desired toys. The video that gave rise to Cláudia's meme shows the presenter organizing the stage between one game and another, with many children on stage.
As only a few were selected for the tests, it turned out that Cláudia, who was actually called Érica, was not called for the joke that would be played at the time. So, as a way of asking her to sit down, Xuxa used the famous phrase “Sit there, Cláudia”. Watch:
In an interview about the event, almost 30 years later, the presenter says that, in fact, the child stepped on her foot and she also stepped back. Xuxa also comments that after the video became famous on the internet, in mid-2011, she was somewhat worried about her bad behavior in the video, but later, she accepted the meme as a joke.
A child stepped on my foot with a little boot, I went there and stepped on her foot. I couldn't [do that], right, people. I was heavily criticized. 'Sit down, Claudia'. How could I do this? I couldn't have done that.
Xuxa about meme day Sit there, Cláudia
Cláudia, who is actually called Érica 3443v
With so many children calling your name at once, Xuxa ended up creating the meme with the wrong name of the girl who stepped on his foot that fateful day.
But, years after participating in the program on TV Manchete, Érica Oliveira, who is currently over 40 years old, said that when she saw Xuxa for the first time, she was not yet a fan of the singer and real presenter. In an interview about the case, she also shared that her uncle, João, got the tickets and took her and her cousins.
I think that was the first time I went. We went as a group to spend the day there, since the recording lasted all day. At that point, at five years old, I don't being a fan, I think it was just starting to happen. Then I became yes, until I was 13, having the opportunity to go two or three more times to Xuxa's programs.
Erica Oliveira, the child of the Xuxa meme
Érica also says that the confusion happened because she tried to hand over the badge that a girl named Cláudia had lost. With so many children calling Xuxa's name at the same time, she thought that, in fact, Érica was the owner of the badge she was holding. And she discovered the videos of that day only after it became a veritable internet meme.
My cousin sent the link, I saw an image of me handing over a piece of paper to Xuxa. During the programs, the children really wanted to help her, I finding the paper on the floor and handing it to her. I didn't even know the expression "Aham", but I saw that it was always an image of me. And then my husband said: 'Érica, you are 'Cláudia'!

With a little regret for having treated Cláudia in a somewhat rude way (as she said), Xuxa made a point of meeting Érica de Oliveira on her program on Record TV to put everything on “clean cloths”. The moment was broadcast on national television and can also be watched on Xuxa's official YouTube channel. Check out:
Taking advantage of the joke, the presenter also apologized by giving Erica a chair. Whenever she came on the show, she would sit in the same spot. Érica also made a point of pointing out that it was all a big mess, the queen of the little ones didn't need to apologize for the meme.
