Model in clip of Anitta deletes profile on social network after repercussion of erotic scene

The model Yuri Meirelles temporarily deleted the profile he had on Instagram after the leak of an erotic scene that he stars with Anitta in the singer’s new clip. Recorded last week, in the Tijuquinha favela in Rio de Janeiro, the production still has no confirmed release date. The 26-year-old says he was “scared” by the repercussions of the fact and also by the “harassment”, as he said, that he began to receive on the internet.

The sequence — which has been generating controversy, for showing Anitta in a sexual act in one of the alleys of the community — was leaked after being filmed by local residents, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. The video quickly went viral and, in less than 24 hours, Yuri Meirelles saw his number of followers on Instagram grow 20 times: from 6 thousand to 120 thousand. And he began to receive countless unusual messages, with sing-alongs, nudes, sensual photos…

“I’m waiting for you in the alley, okay, love?”, commented a person, in his digital profile, on the day that the sequence of the clip was leaked, a week ago. Another netizen wrote: “I don’t know who is luckier, if it’s him or Anitta”. “Call me Anitta”, suggested another Instagram user. This Tuesday (31), Yuri’s profile was temporarily removed from the air.

“I was thinking that the people here in the neighborhood would find out about it. But it was something beyond what I imagined. I can’t touch the phone, it’s crazy”, he said, in a recent interview with the Gshow website. “Anitta was super professional. The place was full of people, with a camera… What happened is that they posted as if something had happened”, he added.

The model’s family from Rio reports that they were concerned about the hyper sexualization with which their son’s image was treated. “The way he is being exposed, this thing kind of linked to sex, is very delicate. But we have to learn to deal with it. He is already of age. I raised my children for the world, the decisions are made by him really,” said Mauro Meirelles, the boy’s father, in an interview with SBT’s “Fofocalizando” program.

Anitta speaks

After the repercussion of the video in which she appears simulating oral sex, Anitta stressed, through her press office, that the sequence is “one of the scenes of an audiovisual project” about which they cannot yet give details.
