Marilene Saade, wife of Stênio Garcia, has been accused of abusing the actor after forcibly removing him from an interview. This Friday (15) she shared a video with a tone that talks about love and photos of her next to her husband. In the caption, he admitted he acted out of control but stressed he did it out of “excessive zeal” towards the artist.
“It’s been 24 years of love, devotion and overcaring. People even say they’ve never seen anyone care for me like that and I always say it’s love. Say it as you saw it,” the actor’s wife said.
The controversy began when Stênio Garcia gave an interview to a RedeTV! program. Marilene interrupted the recording, tried to force a mask on the actor and then dragged him away from the reporter. Taking to social media, she explained that she was out of control because the artist has a problem with hypotension and cannot catch illness as any illness can lead to death. So the doctors said he could only leave the house if he wore a mask all the time.
“I stop taking care of myself to take care of him because I can’t imagine life without him. He is healthy and full at 90 because I and everyone around him take very good care of him. I take care of him 24 hours a day and to be accused of torture and being aggressive with him off camera is a very serious accusation,” Marilene said.
Stênio Garcia’s wife said her home is open to anyone who wants to investigate whether she is being aggressive towards her husband. “You’ll even be surprised at how much zeal I have,” he said.
“You see a moment of controllessness where there was no physical aggression, but I was intemperate to put on the protective mask and I got him out of there,” concluded Marilene Saade.
