Luciana Gimenez reveals that she has been in an abusive relationship for years

Presenter Luciana Gimenez, 52, revealed on social media that she has been in an abusive relationship for years. According to her, for a long time she did not know that it was a toxic relationship.

“Everyone looks at me and thinks my life is perfect and it’s not like that. I’ve been in a relationship, it wasn’t loving, it was abusive for years. I didn’t know. More importantly, if I can give you any advice that are listening to me, first: Knowing that you are being abused and understanding that in our head and in our context,” he began.

“Often the victim doesn’t know. They can’t even discern that they’re being abused. They think they’re the one causing it, that it’s blamed, that she’s the one who did something wrong and they’re ashamed to tell. First, it’s discerning: ‘This is what is happening. with me it’s not normal, I’m being abused'”, he amended.

Then Luciana turned to the women on her channel and asked them not to be afraid to seek help and to report. “I always say that you have to have a friend, a professional who can help you, give you affection, a lap, a place for you to go if you are suffering this at home.”

“Report, call the police. It’s no use trying to fix it. If you’re afraid, call the report, but society needs to unite against psychological, sexual and moral violence. Enough, that’s enough”, he amended.

The presenter of RedeTV! he also stressed that even in her there is a structural machismo and that she has been working to change every day. “Have to try to change our circle, act better. Ourselves. Not accepting, punctuating, observing, let’s try to change a little. Change comes from us”, she finished her.
