Lucia Gagliasso, mother of actor Bruno Gagliasso, 40, took to social media to lament the episode of racism that her grandchildren, Chissomo (Titi) and Bless, went through at the Clássico Beach Club restaurant, in Costa da Caparica, Portugal, last Saturday (30).
“It is sad that we still see prejudiced attitudes, which disrespect and hurt people. It is unacceptable to allow an attack like this to go unpunished. of publication.
“My grandchildren, my son, my daughter-in-law and all the other family who were there experienced a sad moment and need shelter, respect and peace. Despite the pain we are feeling, I hope that this fact serves to change thoughts and educate hearts”, completed the chef de cuisine.
In an interview with Fantástico (Globo), broadcast this Sunday (31), Gagliasso said that he was at the restaurant with family and friends, while the children were playing on the beach. Giovanna Ewbank, 35, said they go there a lot because they meet a lot of black people.
“For our children, we think it’s very important to be in environments with black people,” he said. The actor says that one of the children told what had happened and he saw the manager asking a woman to leave. Giovanna claims that she only realized that it was something racial when she saw a family of Angolans, of about 15 people, backed away.
At this moment, the couple heard the woman refusing to leave the place, saying loud racial insults, such as “filthy blacks”, “go back to Africa”, “go back to Brazil” and “Portugal is no place for you”. Gagliasso immediately called the police, Giovanna went after the woman and started an argument, which had the video leaked on social media.
