CASIMIRO SPEAKS OUT AFTER CRITICISM FOR PRAISING NEYMAR: “I HAVE BEEN WRONG”

Casimiro apologized after reacting to a post in which he received criticism for praising Neymar Jr. On X, formerly Twitter, a page called Pagodinha Zeca asked him to stop praising the player because of his connection with Daniel Alves, convicted of sexual assault in Spain. The Santos player, through his family, helped Alves pay 150 thousand euros (around R$900 thousand) to the victim. The compensation helped to mitigate the sentence of the football player, who is free after paying bail of 1 million euros (around R$ 5.4 million).

“I beg, I BEG Casimiro and for TV Cazé — which I have always praised — so that they stop separating the author from the work and stop praising Neymar on their television. He helped prosecute a rapist. Enough, it's done. Limits”, asked the beginning of the thread published on X.

The posts reached the streamer, who reacted to the case during a live broadcast on Sunday night (3/31). “It’s very serious, really. This comment on the post saying ‘don’t care about rape’. Like this? This is horrible, what association are you making? Look, it's on Twitter”, he said.

Cazé's response caused negative reactions and even threats to the owner of the page who made the criticisms. She exposed the issue on the social network and made the influencer speak out once again on the subject.

Also in X, he pointed out that the person was respectful to him at all times and that he needs to review some points. “The subject gained momentum here and from a respectful thread escalated to some attacks on me and my family”, he began.

“This made me feel really bad and meant that, when I got home and opened my live, talked about the post angrily and in a rude way, mixing topics and leaving the real and important theme of the text aside, generating a flood of unacceptable responses to the original post. I sincerely apologize to the girl whose night was ruined by this. I ended up only responding to the insults linked to the post and not the post itself, which was a fair comment on our work. I made a mistake and caused this, when I could have just absorbed the criticism that came in a polite and meaningful way. I've been making a lot of mistakes lately, but I'm going to correct that”, he assured.
