Ator was beaten in Rio; Suspect arrested for assault and homophobia
Actor Victor Meyniel was beaten at the entrance of a building in Copacabana, on Saturday (2). The actor’s agency claims it is a crime of homophobia.
He would have met the aggressor in a nightclub in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro. Images from a security camera show the moment in which the man beats Victor, who is lying on the floor of the lobby, while the building’s doorman watches the scene without taking any action.
Victor and his mother, Regina Meyniel, filed a complaint at the 12th Police Station and opened a police report on the case on Saturday. The actor underwent a criminal examination at the Legal Medical Institute (IML) and was treated at an Emergency Care Unit (UPA).
According to the agency, the attacker was accused of ideological falsehood for having identified himself as an Air Force doctor for Victor.
One of the lawyers representing the actor, Ricardo Brajterman, posted on social media about the case: “We are adopting all appropriate legal measures in the civil and criminal spheres. This barbaric crime will not go unpunished. It’s all nonsense, the criminal’s brutality and the porter’s omission.”
Support Messages
On social media, the actor has received messages of support and revolt with the case.
The actor and friend of Victor, Jefferson Schroeder, published a text in which he recalled that Victor has a birthday this Sunday. “Yesterday I remembered you a lot, look how things are, and today I learned that it’s your birthday and that yesterday you went through a very sad moment. May God protect his heart and his recovery. Thank you for brightening so many lives. I have you in my heart.”
The comedian Yuri Marçal posted on X, former Twitter: “This crime with Victor Meyniel You have to jail the aggressor and the doorman!”.
Economist and former BBB Gil do Vigor also commented on X: “How much pain! How cruel. They kill us for simply being who we are, they beat us, hurt us and still make us defendant in the court that says: What did he do to deserve it?. It’s sad, it’s unacceptable! Willingness to fly this criminal, but violence cannot be solved with violence, we demand JUSTICE NOW! And the doorman needs to be PUNISHED TBMMMM.”
Singer Pepita also posted about the case: “I think it’s funny that there are people who say it’s “mimimi”… I don’t know what angers me more, the guy knocking or the doorman sitting there doing nothing! NOTHING justifies an aggression people, I’m here angry. All my affection to Victor! Unfortunate.”
