A shocking act of violence unfolded live on social media this week when Brazilian influencer Luna Ambrozevicius Abrahao, 22, was repeatedly stabbed during a livestream after an argument with her ex-boyfriend, Alex Olievira, the father of her 4-year-old daughter.
The brutal attack occurred Monday inside an apartment in São Paulo and was captured during Abrahao’s livestream, where she had been speaking to her followers when the confrontation turned violent. The footage, now under investigation, included her piercing screams and visible blood on the floor and furniture, with viewers witnessing what appeared to be a large knife breaking from the force of the assault.
Emergency responders were alerted by horrified followers, and Abrahao was quickly transported to a local hospital. She sustained nine stab wounds, including injuries to her head, back, hand, and foot, and underwent emergency surgery. Doctors have since confirmed that her condition is stable.
Authorities have launched a manhunt for Olievira, who now faces charges of attempted murder and domestic violence. According to investigators, neighbors confirmed frequent loud arguments between the two, indicating a troubling pattern of alleged abuse.
Abrahao, who has built a following of nearly 260,000 on Instagram, is known for her content on beauty, fashion, and dance. In a brief message shared from her hospital bed, she thanked her followers for their concern and assured them she was recovering.
“I’m here. I’m alive. I’m healing,” she wrote. “Thank you for the love and prayers.”
The case has sparked outrage and calls for stronger protections against domestic violence in Brazil, a country where rates of femicide and intimate partner violence remain alarmingly high.
The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information on the whereabouts of Alex Olievira is urged to contact São Paulo authorities.
