During a live report about missing teenagers, two Brazilian reporters from two different stations got into a conflict after one pushed the other in the middle of an interview.
Reporter Lucas Martins was caught pushing Grace Abdou.
The reporters were listening to friends of Layla and Sofia, two teenagers who went missing the last weekend of June.
Lucas was being guided by a witness to a photo that could help the investigation when the reporter pushed Grace. “Excuse me, are you crazy?” shouted Lucas.
He approached the person who was going to show the photo to the camera, when Grace stepped in front and asked, “Why did you push me?” “You’re deliberately getting in my way, and this is not the first time,” he complained live.
The reporters continued arguing, but the video cut to the show’s host, Joel Datena, who was shocked by what he had just seen.
The reaction was so big that Grace’s station took the case to the police and also issued a statement saying it “vehemently condemns the aggression committed by the reporter.”
The fight between the two reporters went viral on X, formerly Twitter, and divided users. “That Grace is annoying, but nothing justifies that push,” commented one. Another said Lucas would be fired.
The case of Sofia and Layla’s disappearance was overshadowed by the fight.
