Character Ítalo faces assault in Por Você storyline

In the television production Por Você, the character Ítalo is subjected to a physical assault motivated by prejudice. After being encouraged by Lucas to pursue his dream of becoming a ballet dancer, Ítalo arrives at a rehearsal space to prepare for an audition.

While waiting, a group of other students, including a character named Bezão, confront Ítalo and seize his mobile phone. The situation escalates into physical violence when the group pushes Ítalo to the ground and kicks him, with one aggressor reportedly telling him the attack was to teach him “to be a man.”

Lucas arrives to intervene and stop the assault, causing the aggressors to flee. Despite attempts by the school director to console him and suggest medical attention, a shaken Ítalo declares he is abandoning his ballet ambitions and will no longer participate in the audition.
