Carol Dantas speaks out after likes deemed indirect towards Neymar

Mother of Neymar’s eldest son, Carol Dantas spoke this Sunday 28, after a like she left on a post became controversial on social networks. She liked a post that talked about the responsibilities of raising children, and people understood she was sending a message to the Santos player.

She denied sending an indirect message on social media. “I like a million things. If I have to base my life on likes, I’m screwed, because I like everything that I think makes sense in relation to what I think, not necessarily in relation to what I experience.

Carol is the mother of 14-year-old Davi Lucca, Neymar’s eldest son. The article that sparked controversy was about an article that said mothers who care for their children on a daily basis should have the autonomy to make decisions, without interference from parents who don’t spend much time with their children.

“Those who provide daily care must have decision-making autonomy. It is not possible to share decisions with those who do not participate in the routine. The father cannot: impose beliefs, school or routine. Those who educate daily have the right to choose,” the message said.

Carol lives with Davi Lucca in Spain. She is also the mother of Valentin, 6, from her current marriage to businessman Vinícius Martinez.

Neymar currently lives in Brazil with his wife, Bruna Biancardi, with whom he has two daughters, Mavie, 2, and Mel, 5 months. Additionally, he is the father of 1-year-old Helena from his relationship with Amanda Kimberlly.
