Sergio Hondjakoff faces sexual harassment allegations from Luiza Ambiel

Luiza Ambiel has accused actor Sergio Hondjakoff of sexual harassment during the filming of the 2020 reality show ‘Made in Japão’. Ambiel claims the actor pressed his genitals against her while they were in a queue, an incident she says occurred in a backstage area without cameras but was noted by production via microphones.

Ambiel alleges that Hondjakoff’s departure from the 2020 program was due to this harassment rather than the officially stated reason of back pain. Silvana Oliveira, a former participant of the same show, supported Ambiel’s account, stating that such situations were not news to her and suggesting other women might have similar stories.

Hondjakoff’s manager, Dino Boyer, has denied the allegations, calling them false and stating that the actor’s exit from the show was strictly due to medical issues. Boyer announced that his legal team has been activated to take judicial action against the accusations, arguing that unproven claims can harm real victims of sexual violence.
