If you've never come across the true identity of Confused Math Lady before, you might want to take a seat. We might have a revelation for you. Despite what seemingly everybody on the internet thinks, Confused Math Lady is not Julia Roberts. She's an actress, but she's actually Brazilian Renata Sorrah.
Sorrah did bear a passing resemblance to Roberts in her younger years, although the scene from which the meme is taken is actually a little old now. It's a clip from the Brazilian telenovela 'Senhora do Destino,' which translates as 'Lady of Destiny,' and originally aired between 2004 and 2005. It's our understanding that it the broadcast didn't have all the mathematical equations stamped onto it, although that doesn't take anything away from the perfectly perplexed expression of Sorrah. We've all been there, trying to make sense of out of a situation that simply doesn't stack up, and whenever it happens, Sorrah is our spirit animal.
