Widely considered as one of the best footballers in the world, Neymar has had a homophobic complaint made against him after he called his mother’s bisexual boyfriend a “little fag”.
The coverage of the complaint follows the leaking of an audio recording of a private conversation between Neymar and several of his friends which were leaked to the press.
The result has led to Brazilian LGBT+ activist Agripino Magalhaes, filing a complaint against the international footballer Neymar at the São Paulo public prosecutor’s office for homophobia.
The activist has announced on Instagram that he intends to file a complaint for the crime of homophobia and incitement to hatred.
In the recording, Neymar said Tiago Ramos, 22, the boyfriend of his mother Nadine Gonçalves, 52, is a “little fag” and a “motherfucker”.
One of his friends said that he should “put a broom in the ass”.
Nadine Gonçalves had even made public her relationship with the young man in April and it was later revealed that Ramos is bisexual.
