Casares’ girlfriend deletes him online, hits back at abuse | OneFootball

While Julio Casares has been circulating disguised in a hoodie and dark glasses to avoid being recognized after resigning from the presidency of São Paulo, under investigation for alleged cases of corruption, those close to him have also been suffering the consequences.

The one who decided to break the silence about this was his girlfriend, actress Mara Carvalho.

She, who had already recorded a video for social media asking São Paulo fans to stop offending her because of her romantic relationship, emphasizing that she does not frequent São Paulo, spoke out again.

In an interview with the newspaper ‘Folha de S. Paulo‘, Mara reiterated the difficulties she has been facing due to her relationship with Casares.

“I started dating Julio a year ago. My professional life spans 20, 25 years. I’ve been labeled as Julio’s girlfriend and I can’t break through this bubble to say: Hey, I have an identity. I have my own name, I am Mara Carvalho,” she said.

About two weeks ago, the attacks she had been suffering, which until then were limited to social media, became more direct. Mara says that a group of about ten São Paulo fans went to her restaurant in Jardim Paulista, in the south of São Paulo, to threaten her.

At the back of the establishment, there is a small theater, also created by her. In the actress’s view, there is deep-rooted sexism in what she has been facing.

“I built the theater and the restaurant by myself, without anyone’s help. And now they think it’s his (Casares’s). It seems like everything always revolves around the man,” she vented.

“People came here saying they’re going to invade my restaurant, they’re going to lynch me. I’ve received threats of all kinds and I have nothing to do with this (what’s happening at São Paulo),” she added. “They threaten to invade the theater and shout my name as soon as I go on stage, to disrupt the show.”

She also believes that the fact she has the same first name as Julio’s ex-wife, Mara Casares, who was the club’s director of women’s, cultural, and events affairs and was involved in the allegations, contributed to the confusion. She reports that a newspaper even published a photo of her as if she were the former club advisor.

Mara says she has always been an independent woman, focused on her work, and was not aware of how sexism affected her daily life.

“Today I realize that in many situations I was harmed by this prejudice. Even in television work, where I had to submit to the opinions of men,” she pointed out.

Perhaps as a precaution, Mara decided to act on her own to contain the hatred from São Paulo fans. She deleted from her social media most of the photos in which she appears with her boyfriend, although she does not confirm whether or not the relationship is continuing.
