Activist Francisca de Magalhães Barros also announced that she filed a complaint with the Regulatory Entity for Social Communication because she considered that there had been “trivialization and unworthy treatment of the crime of rape”.
Cristina Ferreira has not yet commented on the controversy, but was forced to close the comments box on the most recent publication on Instagram.
Meanwhile, TVI issued a statement to regret “the way, the tone, the decontextualization and the gross manipulation with which the presenter’s words are being interpreted and disseminated”.
“Under no circumstances would TVI, and of course Cristina Ferreira, agree with the trivialization of any crime, much less encourage or devalue it. Rapes or sex without consent can only be the object of repulsion and condemnation. One thing is a question formulated in the exercise of one’s duties as presenter, with the aim of providing an opportunity to express repudiation of acts perpetrated by rapists, another is to express a critical opinion. The question happened, the comment is not much less the expression of trivialization of crime. Another thing is the impunity with which gratuitous and frivolous offenses spread, without control, especially on social networks.the station wrote.
