"After that mess with the call girl and the transvestites (sic) I understood that I have to choose the guys I hang out with carefully. If you are a public person, learn to set good examples," he declared.
At the time, he and two friends had hired three call girls. They gave up when they found out that two were transvestites and dismissed them. The only cis woman in the group refused to do the work alone and claimed to have been raped.
"Know that, after midnight, the most evil egos are loose: if you want to go out at night, go out with conscience. I was judged a lot for what happened, but I was very young. Afterwards I resented being in bad company, not having pulled For me, the responsibility of paying the call girl and giving her a ride as agreed was lacking maturity."
In the interview, he also claimed that the gay public is always on his side. “Wow, they are fans! There is no difference for other fans. And I really respect the gay movement, which is super strong, hard-working, aware of its space. I’m proud to have this audience on my side.”
He is currently dating the actress Cleo Pires.
