In 2017, the influencer Dayane Alcântara, who introduces herself as Day McCarthy posted a video on social media insulting Titi, who was 4 years old at the time.
Bruno Gagliasso filed a complaint immediately afterwards. The decision of the Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro condemning Mcarthy to more than 8 years in prison was handed down on the 4th (21.Aug), 7 years after the episode.
“This is the first time that, in response to racism, Brazil has sentenced a person to a closed prison regime. Yes, it is 2024 and this is still the first time. Although it is late, it is historic. Criminal law says that little can be done to reverse the sentence, at most it can be reduced.”declared the actor.
