The presenter Ana Hickmann filed a police report, accusing her husband, Alexandre Côrrea, of assault on Saturday afternoon (11), at the family home in Itu, in the interior of São Paulo.
To the police, she reported that she was talking to her 10-year-old son in the kitchen when Alexandre overheard, didn’t like the content of the conversation and started an argument with the presenter. The child, frightened, would have run out of the room.
According to the police report, Alexandre pushed his wife against the wall and threatened to headbutt her – an accusation he denied on social media. (See below).
When trying to get his cell phone, which was on a table, Alexandre closed the kitchen door, hitting Ana Hickmann in the arm. At that moment, according to the bulletin, the presenter locked her husband out of the room. That’s when she managed to call the police. When the Military Police arrived, Alexandre was no longer there.
At the police station, when giving a statement and registering the police report, Hickmann refused the protective measures provided for in the Maria de Penha Law.
In a statement, Ana Hickmann’s advisor confirmed the disagreement between the presenter and her husband.
“After a disagreement between Alexandre Correa and Ana Hickmann last Saturday (11), the Military Police were called and the presenter was taken to the Police District to clarify the facts. Through her press office, Ana Hickmann thanks her fans for their affection and solidarity and informs that she is at home, well and fortunately, she did not suffer any major consequences to her physical integrity.”
The following day, on Sunday (12), Alexandre Corrêa used social media to comment on the case. He also confirmed the disagreement, but denied having headbutted his wife. The businessman also apologized to his family.
“Indeed, on yesterday’s date [sábado (11)], I had a disagreement with my wife, an absolutely isolated situation, which did not generate any major consequences. I would also like to clarify that I never head-butted her, as is untruely being linked (sic) in the press, and that everything will be duly clarified at the appropriate time”, wrote Alexandre on social media.
“I take this opportunity to apologize to my entire family for what happened. It’s been 25 years of marriage, without any occurrence of this nature. I have always served Ana as her agent, with all zeal, affection and respect, just as I treat the 7 women I work with in my office”, he added.
