After concluding high school, the then 17-year-old Massotti left her home city of Três Passos, Rio Grande do Sul to work as a model in São Paulo.[2] However, as she was not successful, Ariela Massotti decided to study performing arts to become an actress.[2]

When she was 19-years-old, Ariela Massotti studied at Wolf Maya's drama school. Soon after that, she was hired by Rede Globo after an acting evaluation, permanently moving to Rio de Janeiro.[3] She commented that "Just after I finished the acting classes I got a role in Bang Bang". She played the naïve Brenda Lee.[4] After Bang Bang, she guest starred in Malhação and then was hired by Rede Record to play the lead role in the telenovela Alta Estação.[5] Ariela Massotti returned to Rede Globo in 2008 to play the lead role Otávia Prado in the telenovela Ciranda de Pedra, who tries to steal her sister's boyfriend.[6][7] She guest starred in the comedy series Zorra Total in 2010, and played the lead antagonist in Malhação during the 2010–2011 season.[2]
