Court Accepts Charge Against Man Seen Choking Influencer in Elevator

Overview

• The Goiás state prosecutor's office filed a complaint on January 22 for bodily injury in a domestic-violence context, and the court accepted it on January 26, making Antunes a defendant.
• Security camera footage shows Nayara da Conceição Brito being choked inside an elevator in Goiânia in February 2025 until she loses consciousness during a relationship of about four months.
• Brito reported the incident the next day and an IML exam recorded lesions, while Military Police who responded the night of the episode reported no visible marks on her and took no further action after Antunes declined to represent.
• Antunes' defense denies aggression, calls the video an isolated fragment lacking context, and says he had documented injuries while both sides' cases remain in early investigative phases.
• The footage became public after Antunes sued Brito for calúnia and difamação, and her legal team says the video and forensic findings will support her defense.
