The influencer said he still encounters abusers when he returns to the village where he lived
Last Tuesday, the 14th, Carlinhos Maia participated in PodCats, host by Camila Loures and Lucas Guimaraes, and said he was sexually abused as a child. Who questioned him about the matter was his ex-husband, who took the place of Virginia Fonseca🇧🇷
“I never spoke (publicly), in fact, about it. But I always spoke internally, between us. I don’t know if because of the situation in the village or because of the situation at the time I lived there. My mother has a little shop, that she was going to work and I kept selling. So, this happened.”, said.
“It’s not something I feel comfortable talking about. This happened a lot with people close to me. (…) It was very frequent, it was something that happened a lot. At one stage of my life it happened a lot. So, I was very young. too. I was alone there [na venda]🇧🇷 (…) So, the older boys, the older men on the street, you know?”, said.
“My mother, who was deaf, whom people made fun of. Imagine a child being alone at home and having to work selling things in the house and then they would take those things away. And my mother would come home and give them to me.”, continued.
“They threatened: ‘If you tell anyone, I’ll tell your father that you do this to us.’ I had happy phases in childhood, but these (other) phases… time.”, revealed.
“These are people that I even see when I go to the village. People who are married. […] Oxe, I have episodes, like, in (my) head, of being four people (practicing abuse). Real. No lies.”, said.
“This is not to move anyone, no, because this is not a beautiful story of emotion. But imagine, this happened to me and happens to so many people, all the time. This is one of my traumas, for example, holding a child in my arms .”, added.
“I’m not a pedophile, it’s not about that. It’s just that so much has happened to me, that I abhor the idea of people thinking that about me”, finished.
