During a live broadcast posted on his YouTube channel, Constantino said he would not report whether his daughter had been raped while drunk. The statement prompted the removal of the journalist from Jovem Pan’s panel of commentators.
RecordTV also announced its termination, as did Radio Guaíba and Correio do Povo newspaper, belonging to the Record group.
In a note, Record said that “the decision was made by the positions that the professional publicly assumed on violence against women, in channels that have no connection with our platforms. The journalism of Grupo Record vehicles has been following with great care. The case of Mariana Ferrer and the Group could not, at this time, leave any doubt that justice is not done by blaming or accusing those who were victims of a crime ”.
The announcer added: “Despite having guarantees of editorial and opinion freedom, we believe that the position taken by Constantino was not in accordance with our principle of not accepting any type of aggression, violence, abuse, discrimination based on gender, race. , religion or economic condition “.
In a message on Twitter, Constantino commented on the decision and stated that the station was “another vehicle that did not withstand the pressure”, claiming that “the commercial department asks for ‘fix’, because it receives pressure from outside, from jackals and organized hyenas , from ‘sleeping giants’ “.
