Brazilian star Neymar da Silva, a player for Al Hilal, has publicly criticized actress Luana Piofani after she made derogatory remarks about him concerning his children. The Brazilian actress posted a video on her Instagram account attacking Neymar, labeling him a bad husband and father amid the ongoing controversy in Brazil regarding beach privatization.
Reports in Brazil suggest that Neymar plans to build upscale properties along the coast extending from Pernambuco to Alagoas, directly tying this project to the beach privatization issue that is currently angering many Brazilians. Neymar expressed his outrage over being called a bad father, particularly given that he has two children: Davi Luca, 12 years old, and Mavi, just 6 months old.
Neymar was provoked by the actress’s insult and responded through his account on the X social media platform, stating, "I think they opened the mental health facility and released a crazy woman talking about me. She wants something with me, but that's impossible." He further commented, "Don't put my name in your mouth, this is unbelievable. Do you want to become famous? Your time as a great actress is over, and I have nothing to say about you, but you should put your shoe in your mouth and just not talk."
He continued: "You want to talk about my children? I don't understand you; I never said anything about your kids. I always treated them well; they really love me, and I don't know why you're talking about my kids. If you want the phone number of my children's mother, I'll give it to you, no problem, and you can ask them if I'm a bad father or not. You're over 50 and want to make a name for yourself online."
