Doda d’Alponte, the Globo reporter whose hair was pulled while covering AeroFla, on the afternoon of Wednesday the 26th, spoke about the case on Instagram this evening. She said she was already used to dealing with turbulent moments and fans and was sorry for what happened.
At first, I thought the withdrawal had occurred accidentally, due to the excitement of the fans that accompanied the arrival of the Flamengo bus at Rio’s Galeão Airport, before the players headed to Lima in Peru, where the team will face Palmeiras in the Libertadores final on Saturday 29. She was live on the program “Jornal Hoji” when she was attacked.
He said: “Usually these coverages with fans are very tiring, but today it became even more tiring because of the episode that happened. I was broadcasting live for Globo and they pulled my hair. The first time they pulled my hair, I thought it was by accident. We are used to doing these things with fans and sometimes there is pushing and shoving, there is noise, which is normal.”
The second time, Duda realized it was intentional, and the third time, she turned around to try to figure out who the attacker was. He said: “I spoke to some fans, but we did not find anyone who would do it.”
The reporter said she tried to find the safest place in the situation and said she tends to be more psychologically prepared to deal with a lot of excited people and unexpected events.
“I’ve already been (doused) with drinks and paint and my headphones were accidentally taken and it’s all part of the game. But there are some things that are not a joke and it’s not just a thrill. There are some things that are considered aggression and what happened today was aggression, it’s an unfortunate situation, I was very sad that I went through it. I hope it doesn’t happen again, and that it serves as a lesson for those people who don’t respect journalists on the street who work, especially with journalists.” Women, touching each other in some way.”

The journalist said that she was fine, that she really enjoyed showing the fans celebrations, and that she hoped that these people would be ashamed of doing these things and not come back and do them again.
