The influencer Ivan Baron released this Monday (18/9) a note of repudiation against the comedian Leo Lins, accusing him of a clever attack. Baron, who attended the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said Lins imitated him “in an extremely offensive way” during a cabaret show. The influencer filed a complaint with the police for insult and spoke openly on his official Instagram profile.
Case details
“Unfortunately I need to come here on social media to report yet another ableist attack that I have suffered from Leo Lins. I received a video in which the comedian, during his stand-up show, refers to me in a extremely offensive,” said the Baron.
He added that Lins imitated his physical characteristics and way of speaking to create humor at his expense. “Watching the content it was impossible not to suffer, recalling several triggers that I faced during the process of accepting my disability [paralisia cerebral]. I felt, once again, humiliated by a person who is not afraid of the consequences that the alleged ‘prank’ could cause in someone else’s life,” she added.
History of controversies
Baron also recalled that Leo Lins had previously made fun of another disabled person, which had led to his dismissal from SBT. “At another time, on the same day and on the same show, the comedian makes multiple jokes now involving people with hydrocephalus, horrifyingly insinuating that people with the condition fill their heads with sink water to resist the heat.” , Baron said.
Judicial actions
The influencer stressed that he is already taking legal action against the comedian. “Legal action is already being taken because it can no longer be treated as something that did not happen, but exists and demands justice. I believe that impunity cannot prevail in order to put an end once and for all to prejudice and cruelty disguised as humor” , Baron said.
