Letícia Birkheuer Denies Son’s Assault Claim as Teen Seeks to Halt Visits in Escalating Custody Fight

Both sides took the dispute to social media during Brazil’s judicial recess.

Overview

  • The 14-year-old appeared in a video posted by his father saying he is tired of being exposed online, claims he is used for engagement, and asks the court to suspend mandatory visits with his mother.
  • The adolescent alleges a hired nurse chased and restrained him with a chokehold during a visit in Rio, an episode he says was recorded in a police report.
  • Letícia Birkheuer rejects the aggression account, says a nurse was hired on medical advice, and contends the professional only contained her son for safety.
  • The actress asserts she has spent more than R$1 million on the case, accuses her ex-husband of parental alienation and noncompliance with court-ordered measures, and cites delays in required social studies.
  • No final ruling has been reported; the teen lives with his father in São Paulo, and Birkheuer says she will spend Christmas without him as the legal dispute continues.
