A psychologist has committed homophobic attacks against employees of a restaurant at the Museum of Tomorrow, in downtown Rio de Janeiro, and injured the establishment's chef with a glass bottle.
Juliana de Almeida Cesar Machado, 45, was taken to the police station and charged with the crimes of homophobic insult, bodily harm, and threat.
The case took place on Saturday (27), the day Juliana celebrated her birthday. She was accompanied by her parents at the Casa do Saulo restaurant and, according to witnesses, had drunk two bottles of wine.
At the end of the lunch, after getting agitated during an argument at her table, the psychologist started cursing the establishment's employees, who requested her to leave.
The Museum of Tomorrow administration released a statement against homophobia after the aggression committed by Juliana.
Her family said they will not comment on the case and that there is a lawyer following the lawsuit.
