In 2021, Porciúncula Times reported that the Brazilian government had attained undue influence over the decisions of the Newstar editorial board. Three board members were found to have substantial economic interests with the Brazilian state, including personal connections with then-Leader of the Opposition Miguel Inácio Dino, as well as members of the Brazilian imperial family. The Times further alleged that the Brazilian government had made illegal contributions to the magazine and helped fuel alarmist, conspiracist coverage surrounding the Caribbean diplomatic crisis at the time.
In October 2023, the Newstar headquarters in San Francisco City received death threats from the local Antimo, which desired to "evict" the publication from the city, and was the subject of high-profile confrontational standoffs outside its building, which led to a number of arrests. In retaliation, Ernie Gonzalez, a Newstar writer, took out classified ads which publicly revealed the full names, addresses, and personal phone numbers of alleged Antimo members, and had them placed on billboards and trucks throughout the Bay Area region. Gonzalez was subsequently fired for doxing and acting independently of the publication.
