Thus, as proof that he would not have attacked the health professional, Borrachinha showed two photos of the nurse’s mouth, where she claims to have received the elbow. In the images you can see that her lips don’t show any clear signs of being swollen or cut, showing that they weren’t even hit.

Following the video, he says he vehemently repudiates any type of violence against women, even talking about the episodes of domestic violence that happened in his family, but he still cites “Potiphar’s woman syndrome”, a theory that addresses false accusations of sexual crimes, with the objective of demanding a better investigation before the disclosure of accusations of this type.

“I’m going to leave the space here for her to publicly retract, for her to apologize, for her to say that her attitude was wrong, that she was wrong, that there was no physical aggression against her. I think it’s the least in the face of such a serious accusation. as was the one she imputed to me. Otherwise, I will have to file a lawsuit in court”, said the fighter.

Despite having recorded the video to explain himself, Borrachinha did not say what really happened in the situation in question. According to the nurses’ reports to the Contagem Municipal Guard, he would have attended the coronavirus vaccine application room willing to be vaccinated, but tried to leave with the vaccination card before receiving the dose.

Thus, according to his statement to the guard, the fighter guarantees that he did receive the vaccine, but that the nurses did not let him out. With all that happened, he was taken to the police station to provide clarification as well as the professional who would have been assaulted. The case continues to be analyzed by the competent authorities.
