Patrícia's predisposition to follow in the footsteps of Silvio Santos in front of the cameras from her childhood could be observed and it always drew attention the few times that she participated in the programs presented by her father or the presenter, Mara Maravilha, when SBT still was called TVS (TV Studios) and operated in the old studios of Vila Guilherme[2]

Kidnapping
On August 21, 2001, she was kidnapped in São Paulo and held in captivity for a week, which reverberated throughout the country making her a well-known face in the press, since, like her sisters Daniela, Rebeca and Renata, she was always kept out of the media spotlight by Senor Abravanel (Silvio Santos) and Iris Abravanel. The kidnapping came to be reported by all television stations, including Globo and Record.
The interview given by Patricia on the porch of her father's house in the Morumbi district in the western area of the capital city of São Paulo led her to believe that she might be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome because of the words in a pitying and even religious tone related to her kidnappers, vehemently denied by herself in recent interviews.[5]
"In the kidnapping I had a very strong faith experience, I was firm and at peace because I was sure it would work out, and there was no Stockholm syndrome, as was said at the time. Forgiveness is good for those who forgive. "Obviously I was afraid, but could you imagine being bitter because of that? God forbid."[1]
