Letícia Birkheuer Rebuts Son’s Assault Allegation as Custody Battle Plays Out Online

Overview

• In a new social-media statement, the actress denies that her son was assaulted during a visit in Rio and says a hired nurse performed a containment measure recommended by doctors.
• Birkheuer recounts a past car accident involving the boy and his father and says a judge later required the father to undergo toxicology testing, presenting these points as part of her defense.
• A day earlier, the father released a video featuring the teenager, who rejected contact with his mother, accused her of using him for engagement, and described a chokehold incident that he says led to a police report.
• Earlier posts by Birkheuer disclosed spending more than R$1 million on legal actions, reported being blocked by her son, and said they would not spend Christmas together.
• The dispute remains under family-court and police scrutiny with no reported ruling, as both sides air competing accounts that Brazilian outlets have not independently verified.
