Neymar, a forward for Saudi Al-Hilal and who is recovering from a serious knee injury, attacked this Saturday against all those who “spread hate” on the Internet, commenting on a tragic event that occurred in Brazil.
Neymar thus made reference to the death of a 22-year-old girl who was the victim of a fake news which went viral on the Internet by pointing out the woman as the alleged lover of the Brazilian comedian Whindersson Nunes.
“To the ‘haters’, you who spread hate; to those who know everything, owners of the truth, the little saints who are never wrong, congratulations, you have made one more victim,” stated the star of the Brazilian team on her Instagram profile.
The Civil Police registered the case as a possible suicide.
The former footballer for Santos, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) stated that the “gossip” web portals, as well as the “TV networks” and, in general, “all the media” have to “be very careful.” with what they publish.”
“The discourse of respecting your neighbor does not exist on the Internet!” exclaimed the 31-year-old soccer player.
And he concluded: “I really hate all those people who hide behind a profile to speak badly about another person. Wanting to be the first to break news can end someone’s life. Not everyone is mentally strong!”
Neymar is recovering in Brazil from the torn cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee that he suffered on October 17 during the South American qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup against Uruguay, in Montevideo.
