Commentator Rodrigo Constantino was disconnected from Record. He wrote on the R7 website and commented on Record News.
The decision is a consequence of Constantino’s statements about the case of the young Mariana Ferrer, who accused a businessman of rape in a Jurerê Internacional (SC) nightclub. In a live broadcast, Constantino said that if his daughter were abused under similar conditions, he would not report the man and punish her.
In a note, Record said that “the decision was made based on 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’s vehicles has been following the case of Mariana Ferrer with great care 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: “Record was another vehicle that did not withstand the pressure. The commercial department asks for ‘fix’, because it receives pressure from outside, from organized jackals and hyenas, from ‘sleeping giants’. Yes, I lost one more space, but I continue with my total independence and my integrity ”.
On Wednesday, Constantino was removed from Jovem Pan, where he worked. In a statement, the company said that it believed that “the victim should not be held responsible for the acts of his aggressor” and communicated Constantino’s resignation:
“Given what happened this Wednesday in an independent live promoted outside our platforms by one of our commentators, Grupo Jovem Pan clarifies that it strongly disapproves of all the content published on personal channels and presented in this live.”
We reaffirm that the opinions of our commentators are independent and do not necessarily represent the opinion of the Jovem Pan Group. In the case of Mariana Ferrer, we defend that the victim should not be held responsible for the acts of her aggressor, despite the respect that we must all have for judicial decisions, “the statement continues.
“As a result of the episode, on the afternoon of this Wednesday (11/4) Rodrigo Constantino was disconnected from our panel of commentators,” concludes Jovem Pan.
