Jovem Pan announced on Wednesday (4) that it has closed commentator Rodrigo Constantino, 44, from its staff. The resignation came after a live broadcast on his YouTube channel in which he commented on the case of the young Mariana Ferrer, who claims to have been a victim of rape in a nightclub in Jurerê Internacional (SC).
During the live show, Constantino affirmed that if his daughter suffered abuse in conditions similar to those described by the digital influencer, he would not report the man and leave her punished. “I’m going to give my daughter a shit, that there was something wrong there,” he said. “And I must have been wrong for her to act like this.”

“If my daughter comes home, she isolates herself [ele bate na madeira]… But if my daughter comes home – and I give a good education so that she doesn’t pass, but we never control everything – if she comes home one day saying: ‘Dad, I went to a party, ah, I raped. ‘ [Eu perguntaria]: ‘Give me the circumstances’. ‘Ah, I went to a party, three friends and I, we were 18 men, we drank a lot and I was staying with two boys, and I ended up sleeping there and they abused me.’

“She will be severely punished and I will not report such a guy to the police,” he said. “It is absolutely reprehensible behavior. Only we can no longer say these things today. That there is also a decent woman or a piranha. Because I just said that the man who does such a thing is not decent, but neither is there? of a decent woman? Feminists don’t want her. Why? Because feminists are all repressed, resentful and they tend to make fun of it, bitch, she hates the man, she hates the stable union, the marriage … she hates everything “.
The commentator’s speech sparked outrage on the Internet. This afternoon, his name appeared first in the trending topics (list of the most talked about topics) in Brazil, and in tenth place in the world ranking.

In the statement announcing the resignation, Jovem Pan said that he values freedom of expression, but “strongly disapproves of all the content published on personal channels and presented in this broadcast.” “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“says the text.
After the announcement of the dismissal, he commented on the issue on his social networks. “You won a battle, congratulations! The pressure was so great on Jovem Pan, clearly distorting my speech, that they could not resist,” he wrote. “I don’t blame them. It’s the game. Those who know me and those who have seen it know that I would never tolerate rape. But I’ve already left Jovem Pan.”
“I am very grateful for everything Jovem Pan has done, for the free space, for the confidence,” he continued. “It was a period of intense work, many achievements and growth.”
