Actor João Victor Gonçalves, 24 years old, who plays Mau Mau in the novel "Quem Ama Cuida", suffered bullying attacks on Friday night, the 3rd, while arriving at Cidade do Rock for Rock in Rio. He was targeted by mockery from streamer GH Reel RJ and two other guys, who ridiculed his look during a live broadcast on the Kick platform.
Before the incident, João Victor had just over 300 thousand followers on Instagram. After the negative repercussion of the case, the actor saw this number jump to 709 thousand, a growth of over 400 thousand followers.
On his social media profile, João Victor posted a video thanking the support he has been receiving. He stated that he has been stopped on the streets by people who hug him and welcome him, and apologized for not being able to respond to everyone. "You are essential for us to be able to change this country of ours, so that we can have a voice," he declared.
The Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro opened an inquiry to investigate the case. Streamer GH Reel RJ, identified as one of those responsible for the hostility, was suspended from the Kick platform.
