On social networks, she denounced that her case
is one more against women
who, like her, "try to do their job in football and suffer from idiots who are criminals."
The journalist stated that “I will go to the end so that no woman goes through this,” and said she felt “dread” and “disbelief” about what happened.
The journalist added that “I wanted to be at Renato's (Portaluppi, Gremio's coach) press conference, but I came to the Civil Police to make a complaint and ask for representation against Internacional's mascot.
I am going to ask for a protective measure for when I have to cover a match at the Internacional stadium again.
It was a very restrictive measure and he was close to me behind the goal and when the penalty play came, I moved away about two meters because he was already torturing me and after Inter scored the goal, instead of celebrating with his fans , he decided to hug me and kiss me, as if my body were there and some kind of disposition or as if he could do that without my permission.”
