MANAUS – The comedian Everson de Brito Silva, known as Tirullipa, was expelled on Tuesday, 6, the ‘Farofa da Gkay’, birthday party of blogger Gessika Kayane, Gkay herself, after being accused of harassment by pulling bikinis of celebrities in the place. The party started on Monday, 5, and ends this Wednesday, 7, in a luxury hotel in Fortaleza, Ceará (CE).

During a competition that simulated the “Gugu’s bathtub”, a game of the 1990s in which two people try to get soaps in a bathtub, Tirullipa pulled the lace of the bikini of several women who participated in the competition, leaving them without the top part of the beachwear.

One of the influencers victim of harassment, Nicole Louise went to social networks to repudiate the attitude of the comedian. “I’m very outraged, I’m very bad about what happened because I felt invaded. That is harassment. He didn’t just do that to me, but to other women too. This is disrespectful, clueless”, she said in a video posted on Instagram.

The Farofa production team released a note announcing Tirullipa’s expulsion. “The whole team repudiates this kind of behavior and will never support any disrespectful attitude to women or other people on site”, he wrote.

After the expulsion, the comedian went to social networks to recognize that he went overboard and apologized. “After talking Gkay and all the production of Farofa, I want to apologize to the girls, women, I want to apologize to Nicole, that felt harassed. It was not my intention, I wanted to take a joke, a fun, but I went overboard”, Tirullipa said.

What the law says

The behavior Tirullipa was much discussed on social networks since the videos in which he releases the bikini of the participants began to circulate. With this, many Internet users questioned whether the attitude of the comedian was a crime.

According to the teacher and Master in Criminal Law Alexandre Zamboni, the comedian’s attitude is reprehensible and social repudiation of it is totally right, but legally not every socially repugnant fact is a crime.

Tirullipa was accused by some of “sexual harassment”. According to Law No. 13,718 of September 24, 2018, performing against someone and without their permission libidinous act with the aim of satisfying one’s own lasciviousness or that of a third party carries imprisonment of one to five years, if it does not constitute another more serious crime.

“Criminal Law was not built to intervene in each and every fact, only some – those chosen by law, within a universe of serious facts”, explains the lawyer, explaining that in order to typify sexual harassment it is necessary to prove that Tirullipa’s attitude had his own or another’s pleasure as an end.

“What I realize is that society is so tired of certain behaviors that it prefers the application of criminal law, even if totally dissociated from the law, than ‘nothing happens’”, reflects the specialist.
