Actor David Junior, who plays Dr. Mauro in the series “Under Pressure”, revealed that he was a victim of sexual abuse in childhood, and was portrayed by Milhem Cortaz, from “Tropa de Elite”.
The outburst happened on Instagram. David Júnior shared an article in the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper with data on sexual violence and aggression against men, in which he points out that two out of ten men were abused when they were minors and added a comment on the subject from his personal point of view.
“I was sexually abused,” the actor wrote. “Talking men. The victim is not to blame for being sexually abused,” he added.
The confession drew many comments, from the affection of his wife, Yasmin Garcez – “I am proud to see you bring this debate here. I love you” – to colleague Milhem Cortaz, who also admitted he was mistreated as a child.
“I was also mistreated,” Cortaz said. David then replied, “I love you, brother! I miss you.”
Actress Ju Colombo praised the courage of the two in exposing the matter. “This courageous, generous and humane attitude of yours is of the utmost importance. All are welcome, grateful and hope that these times will make us more human and happy on this new open road!” She said.
In addition to “Sob Pressure”, David Júnior has worked on the soap operas and series “Bom Sucesso”, “O Tempo Não Para” and “Sessão de Terapia”. He is the father of a girl and I am expecting another child with Yasmin.
