Adriana Ferreyr (born 18 May 1983) is a
Brazilian film, television, stage actress and entrepreneur.[3]
Early life and education
Ferreyr was born in
Salvador, Bahia,
Brazil, the daughter of Rogério Ferreiro, a civil engineer.[4]
Her acting career started in the theater at the age of eight when she joined the theater company of Fernando Peltier. She acted in several plays, among which: O Jardim das Borboletas (The Butterfly Garden), O Jardim das Abelhas (The Bees Garden), Turma da Mônica (Monica and her pals) and
The Sound of Music (A Noviça Rebelde).
Ferreyr previously dated
George Soros for 5 years.[3][7][8] On August 10, 2011, Ferreyr filed a $50 million lawsuit against Soros for
fraud,
harassment,
emotional distress,
estoppel and
assault and
battery.[9] In 2011 Soros tried to dismiss the lawsuit and was unsuccessful.[10][11][12] In March 2013, Soros sued Ferreyr for
defamation and assault.[12][13]
On April 1, 2014, Soros won a partial dismissal of Ferreyr's lawsuit; the appellate court, in a unanimous decision, dismissed her claims of fraud, infliction of emotional distress and other claims against Soros. The appellate court didn't dismiss Ferreyr's claim of assault and battery, however.[14]
