Overview

• The surveillance clip shows Guimarães pulling Karla Lessa’s hair, slapping her and throwing an object at a condominium entrance late on November 28.
• Alagoas Civil Police opened a procedure after the footage circulated, and delegate Ana Luiza Nogueira scheduled a statement for Friday as no formal report from the victim had been recorded.
• Following the video's release, Lessa removed photos with Guimarães from her social media, and his account became unavailable.
• On SBT’s Fofocalizando, his brother Lucas Guimarães condemned the aggression, urged legal consequences and said alcohol triggers behavioral changes.
• Guimarães’s defense cited the presumption of innocence in a note to the press, while court records show a prior domestic-violence conviction with a sentence of 1 year, 4 months and 9 days in open regime.
