Another Manchester United winger accused of domestic violence

Gabriela Cavallin filed a second report against Antony with the Manchester Police and accused the 23-year-old forward of violently attacking her and threatening her life while she was pregnant with a child which she eventually lost after 16 weeks.

In an interview with Brazilian outlet UOL, she detailed abuse suffered at Antony’s hands including an incident where a glass thrown by the footballer caused a cut so deep that her bone was exposed.

The DJ and influencer said she had suffered abuse from Antony starting in July 2022, a month before he signed for Manchester United from Ajax, and noted that the couple's problems were down to the Premier League star’s jealousy.

Speaking in the interview, Cavallin recalled the first time that Antony allegedly attacked her in a car and threatened to throw her out of a moving vehicle while she was pregnant, saying, "He said that if I didn't stay with him, I wouldn't stay with anyone. I told him that I was pregnant, that he was scaring me, making my heart race. I was shaking with fear."

That incident was allegedly caused by a video of Cavallin in a nightclub and reportedly sparked a series of events that caused the influencer to fear for her life.

Brazilian publication reveals evidence of alleged abuse by Antony

Screenshots of texts and audio recordings obtained by UOL also show alleged correspondence between Antony and Cavallin, where the Manchester United star accused his then-girlfriend of ridiculing him and trying to destroy his life, while other messages were of the Brazil international apologising for unbecoming behaviour.

Another text screenshot allegedly shows Antony upset at Cavallin for liking and commenting on pictures of the 23-year-old’s international teammate Neymar even though the pictures were from years before.

Despite the turbulence, the two resumed their relationship after Antony returned from representing Brazil at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but things got worse from then on.

Cavallin outlined further abuse by the Brazilian winger that caused serious bodily injury, including a confrontation where she alleges that Antony punched her in the chest so hard that it shifted her breast implants.

She testified saying, “I don't remember exactly who the fight was, but it was someone I had stayed with years ago. He punched me in the chest and my silicone turned. And then I came to Brazil to operate.

“I had to change the prosthesis. He said 'I didn't want to hurt you, it was unintentional, it wasn't a punch, I just pushed you, I just held you on the wall.’”

Antony’s ex-Girlfriend relives final incident of alleged abuse

In another reported altercation, Cavallin recollected being afraid for her life and deciding to quit the relationship after the last incident on May 8th, 2023 that left her with a deep cut on her hand.

She was quoted by UOL as saying, "I knew I had to leave, but I couldn't. I liked him a lot. I had a lot of hope. I was very attached to the beginning of our relationship, to the things he was to me in the beginning. On that last day it was very serious.

“I was really scared that I wouldn't be able to get out of the house. Antony locked the door of the house and wouldn't let me leave, and I had my finger open, all hurt. He broke my things, took my passport."

According to Cavallin’s testimony, Antony allegedly tried to hit her on the head with a glass bowl but she blocked the attack with her hand, causing cuts deep enough to expose the bones in her fingers.

The Manchester United winger reportedly had to be restrained by his mother and step-father in order for Cavallin to escape without further harm.

“His mother and his stepfather even arrested him inside the football court, he had a football court inside the living room, surrounded by a railing, like this, as if it were a still.

“He upset, trying to get out of the court anyway, playing soccer ball at me, playing cell phone at me. He said he was going to kill me, that he was going to kill himself,” recalled Cavallin.

Antony maintains innocence amid assault allegations

So far, Antony remains defiant in his stance about being falsely accused by Cavallin and in addition to a statement on his Instagram account where he stated his belief that his “innocence will be proven,” also had another statement put out on his behalf to UOL.

The statement by Antony’s representatives to the Brazilian news outlet stated, "What can be observed is that it appears in the media always in the moments when she knows it can harm Antony.

“As on the day of the call for the Brazilian team and now at the time of the presentation. But the facts exposed are the same as those being dealt with in the investigative process."

Antony is currently being investigated for the alleged offences, and the new publication will have Manchester United worried after they recently had to ship English forward Mason Greenwood to Getafe to avoid media scrutiny after his own case of alleged domestic abuse.
