Why did Gabriel Medina move away from his mother? Understand the surfer fight

Gabriel Medina he turned 29 this Thursday (22) and won a great tribute from his mother, Simone Medina (51). The moment of affection between mother and son happened after the two spent a long time apart. They cut ties over the past year, even facing a legal battle.

“Son, today you are 29 years old. We wish you lots of love, peace, health and happiness. May Jesus reveal himself in a special way so that all of His purposes are manifested in your life!”said Simone on Instagram.

The confusion led by the surfer and his family began in 2020, shortly after his marriage to Yasmin Brunet (34). Close friends of the athlete stated that the model was responsible for helping him to realize that his career and personal life was controlled by relatives????????

In an attempt to disassociate himself, Gabriel moved from Maresias, his hometown, and also fired his stepfather, who raised him as a son and was his coach throughout his life. In addition, when digging through his company’s documents, he discovered a hole in the finances managed by his mother.

According to information from the Uol portal, Gabriel found out that Simone took almost R$ 300,000 a month from her company’s profit. Outraged, the surfer warned that he would reduce his mother’s “allowance” to R$ 200,000, but this ended up causing an even bigger crisis.

Away from contact with her son, Simone then went to court to question the non-payment of her salary, which the surfer had stopped passing on. The case ended up with the surfer’s family taking some real estate and being prevented from “commercially exploiting his image”.

THERE WAS MORE SCANDAL

The peak of the family fight took place in 2021 after Simone Medina made comments on social media about Yasmin Brunet. At the time, she stated that the model worked with a porn actress and that he had seen a video of her having sex with another man.

In a post on Instagram, Yasmin denied her mother-in-law’s statements and stated that Simone would be wanting to embarrass her for being an empowered woman.

“I want to comment on some news that came out this week. One of them says that there would be an intimate video of me in possession of a family member of my husband. This information is not correct. There is no such material. And it never existed. However, I need to point out that, even if it did exist, it is regrettable to want to diminish a woman for exercising her sexuality.”, wrote the model.
