Yuri Meirelles’ team issued a statement this Wednesday (4), after the model’s name appeared among the most discussed topics on Twitter with calls for his expulsion from A Fazenda 15 (Record). The reason was an alleged homophobic comment made by Yuri during an argument with Lucas Souza, in the early hours of this Wednesday.
In the statement, the model’s team acknowledged the model’s error in his choice of words and apologized for what happened. “All of us, family members and members of Yuri’s team, ask for everyone’s attention to talk about what happened. Yuri made a mistake yesterday by mocking Lucas and then calling him the way he called him in yesterday’s discussion.”
“We apologize most sincerely, on Yuri’s behalf, to everyone who felt offended and especially to Lucas. But it is important to highlight that at no point was this Yuri’s real intention. Although Yuri’s intention was not this, he made a mistake and for that we apologize to everyone”, completes the text.
The controversy began when Tonzão Chagas confronted Jojo Todynho’s ex-husband, after a comment made to Sander Mecca. Yuri and Darlan Cunha also got involved in the fight and headed towards Lucas. During the clash, the model allegedly mocked Lucas’ gestures while he exchanged shouts with Darlan, insinuating that he had a weak attitude. “It’s a cocksucker,” said Yuri.
After hearing the comment, Tonzão and WL Guimarães were shocked and reprimanded the model. “What is it? Not like that!”, said Tonzão. “Pay attention to what you’re saying, I already gave you the vision,” WL added, expressing his disappointment.
