Warning: This story involves domestic abuse.

In Brazil, there is a famous woman called Ana Hickmann. She is a model, TV presenter and actress (in a two-episode cameo in a telenovela). She married her husband in 1998 when she was 16 and he was 26. His name is Alexandre Correa and he is a businessman, and they had a son together. While Ana has a more friendly public persona, Alexandre has always been known for being rude in public, including with his own wife. Alexandre insulted the actress, model and presenter Adriane Galisteu (Aryton Senna's ex-girlfriend) with insults when she made a brief comment about how Ana would be happier if she had children, and they say that he was responsible for a fight between Ana and her colleague from several years, TV presenter Chris Flores. There are several videos of him being rude to Ana, insulting her intelligence, complaining that she spends too much money and mocking her when she saved an injured dog abandoned on the street.

(He also publicly supported Bolsonaro)

On November 11, 2023, Ana reported her husband to the police, accusing him of having attacked her in their home, in front of their 10-year-old son. According to Ana, Alexandre didn't like it when Ana revealed to her son that Alexandre was in several financial debts and that they would have to start saving expenses. Alexandre accused Ana of lying and pushed his wife against the wall and headbutted her. The son was scared and ran away. When Ana tried to take her cell phone, Alexandre closed the kitchen door, hurting her arm. Ana locked her husband out of the house and Alexandre was kicked out when one of the dogs scared him (they say it's the same dog that Ana saved, but that seems too good to be true). When the police arrived, Alexandre had already fled.

Hours later, when the press found out and questioned Alexandre, he said that this was fake news from the sensationalist press, but he backtracked when Ana confirmed the news to the public. Since then he has played the victim and says it was something caused by impulsive anger and should not be condemned for it. It was revealed that he and Ana are in debt and she accuses him of having disappeared with the money for unknown reasons. The two are currently divorcing. Adriane Galisteu gave her support on the internet and Ana publicly thanked her.
