BBB 26 Contestant Quits After Assault Allegation as Globo Airs His Admission

Overview

• Jordana told housemates that Pedro grabbed her neck and tried to force a kiss in the pantry, and later-aired footage and accounts reflected her report.
• Pedro pressed the withdrawal button on Sunday night and immediately left the program before the first eviction round.
• During the live show, host Tadeu Schmidt said Pedro would have been removed if he had stayed and the production offered support and autonomy to Jordana.
• In a recorded statement broadcast after his exit, Pedro admitted he attempted to kiss Jordana and said he misread her behavior.
• A federal deputy said he will submit a complaint to the Rio de Janeiro public prosecutor’s office, and Pedro’s social media team announced it would stop managing his profiles and disavowed his conduct.
