meme origin: Brazilian Telenovela
The 'Math Lady' or 'Confused Lady' meme features Brazilian actress Renata Sorrah's character, Nazaré Tedesco, from the telenovela 'Senhora do Destino'. It expresses confusion humorously, often overlayed with math equations or captions, and gained popularity in the mid-2010s, especially on Brazilian social media, resurfacing with new layers of meaning following Sorrah’s recent public announcement regarding her bisexuality.
