Viral incident (2017)
In January 2017, an explicit nude photograph of Léo Stronda was leaked online, showing him taking a mirror selfie in which his flaccid penis was visible. The image quickly spread across Brazilian social media platforms, including Twitter, WhatsApp, and Facebook, generating widespread public attention. According to Stronda, the image was accessed after his then-girlfriend accidentally left her phone at a shopping mall, where it was subsequently stolen and hacked.https://f5.folha.uol.com.br/celebridades/2017/01/leo-stronda-diz-que-nude-vazado-estava-em-celular-perdido-as-coisas-comigo-sao-sempre-maiores.shtml The leak drew commentary not only because of the violation of privacy but also due to the notable size of his genitalia.
Stronda publicly addressed the incident, explaining that the photo was leaked after his partner lost her old phone, which contained the image. He expressed regret over the situation but also made light of it, joking about the "three legs" meme that emerged in response to the photo.{{cite web |title=Léo Stronda lamenta foto de pênis mostrada vazada, mas tira onda: '3 pernas' |url=https://www.portaldoholanda.com.br/leo-stronda/leo-stronda-lamenta-foto-de-penis-mostra-vazada-mas-tira-onda-3-pernas |website=Portal do Holanda |access-date=10 May 2025}}
The incident sparked a wave of satirical content, including image macros, react videos, and internet slang referencing the episode.
