STF DENIES MARCIUS MELHEM'S REQUEST TO REMOVE PROSECUTOR FROM HARASSMENT CASE AGAINST HIM

This Thursday morning (05/09), actress Luana Piovani used her social networks to criticize influencers who promote sports betting. In a series of stories on Instagram, the 48-year-old actress made harsh statements about the negative impact of this type of advertising, including a direct mention of her ex-husband, surfer Pedro Scooby.

"How come Do you have the courage to sell bets? Don't you know the people of the country you live in? My children's father also sells football bets", declared Piovani, referring to Scooby's involvement with this type of advertising. The actress also revealed her concern when she realized that her eldest son, Dom, would be defending the bets, a fact that she regretted.

Visibly irritated, Luana Piovani continued her criticism, pointing out the danger of betting: "This is a disease, an addiction. Have you read any material to find out? Who loses money on bets? Do you think it's the millionaires? It's the salaryman who loses money from the rent, the car payment", emphasized the actress, warning her followers about the risks of this behavior.

In another part of his publications, Piovani shared a report from "Ninja Media" that compared online gambling addiction to a public health epidemic. In the caption, she advised: "Stop following those who sell bets. Gambling ruins people's lives! And those who sell are getting rich, while you are getting poorer." The actress also revealed that she stopped following football player Vinícius Jr. due to his association with betting: "I love Vini Jr., but I stopped following him. I think there is a lack of collective awareness. Pedro Scooby also sells this shit ", he concluded.

Marina Ruy Barbosa will play Suzane von Richthofen in "Tremembé" (Prime Video), a fictional series inspired by real stories from the penitentiary of the same name. Marina will play Suzane since her first days in prison. Filming will begin later this year.

According to sources, the series will have a different aesthetic and proposal than the films starring Carla Diaz, released in recent years. The information is from Splash columnist Lucas Pasin. The series will also show the prison life of criminals such as Christian Cravinhos, Abdelmassih and Elize Matsunaga.

Cravinhos was convicted of the murder of von Richthofen's parents; Roger Abdelmassih is a doctor convicted of raping dozens of patients at his fertility clinic; and Elize Matsunaga was convicted of murdering her husband.

The series will also show the life in prison of criminals such as Christian Cravinhos, Abdelmassih and Elize Matsunaga. Cravinhos was convicted of the murder of von Richthofen's parents; Roger Abdelmassih is a doctor convicted of raping dozens of patients at his fertility clinic; and Elize Matsunaga was convicted of murdering her husband.

The series is inspired by the books "Elize Matsunaga: The woman who dismembered her husband" and "Suzane: murderer and manipulator". The works are by journalist Ulisses Campbell, who is also a screenwriter along with Vera Egypt, Juliana Rosenthal, Thays Berbe and Maria Isabel Iorio. Vera Egypt is also general director and showrunner and the production also has Daniel Lieff as director.

The actor and director Marcius Melhemis the target of yet another criminal complaint, now on suspicion of attacking women on social media who accuse him of sexual harassment and harassment. The Public Ministry of São Paulo (MP-SP) asks that he be convicted of the crimes of persecution and psychological violence.

After the case of the accusations became public, the comedian started using social networks to give his version . It turns out that, in the opinion of the Public Prosecutor's Office, he exceeded the limits of the right to defense and embarked on an attempt at "retaliation", which the complaint calls a "vindictive campaign".

Prosecutor Paulo Henrique Castex, who wrote the piece, states that the comedian exposed women's intimacy "without any concern for the highly damaging consequences that these public exposures can cause". He lists, for example, emotional damages and even financial losses. The complaint also attributes to the artist a "plan of massive attacks on the honor and dignity" of these women, supported by hate speech, all with the aim of disqualifying them, according to the MP.

"On the pretext to 'exercise his defense' before the public, Melhem organized and put into practice a digital multiplatform orchestration campaign, with attacks of all kinds against the victims, including the use of elements of gender discrimination, imbued with a feeling of revenge, which has been perpetuated over time", says an excerpt from the complaint, filed on February 26th.

O Public Prosecutor's Office also states that Marcius Melhem tried to attribute to women the stereotype of "liars, opportunists, with sexual behavior immoral". "Melhem's public defense campaign adopts the true contours of the hateful legitimate defense of honor, an archaic concept that allowed a man to act with vindictive violence against a woman who had 'dishonored' him", adds the MP.

The prosecutor cites a study by NetLab, a research laboratory on the internet and social networks at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), which concluded that the actor incited followers to engage in attacks and created a "community with multiplatform action, which reinforces misogyny" online. The next step is the analysis of the complaint by the Judiciary. If the judge responsible considers that there is evidence of a crime, a criminal case will be opened.

Judge Luciane Jabur Figueiredo, from the 21st Criminal Court of São Paulo, referred the case to the Court of Justice of Rio, where criminal actions are already being processed against the comedian.
