Elisa Lucinda slams Juliano Cazarré for misleading femicide statistics in Brazil

Actress Elisa Lucinda publicly criticized actor Juliano Cazarré after he claimed that men die more often as victims of women and advocated a course to boost male self‑esteem. Lucinda said his statements contradicted Brazil’s alarming femicide data and labeled the misinformation a “desserviço” that harms the public and strengthens aggressors.

She quoted philosopher Antônio Calado, emphasizing the ethical duty to verify information before sharing it. The remarks sparked strong backlash on social media and revived debate over the spread of false information about gender‑based violence in Brazil.
