Lírio Parisotto ordered to pay Luiza Brunet R$150,000 for 2016 assault
A São Paulo court ordered Lírio Parisotto to pay R$150,000 to Luiza Brunet for an assault in 2016.
The ruling was signed on October 8, 2026, by the 36th Civil Court in central São Paulo.
Brunet said Parisotto assaulted her in New York, leaving her with four broken ribs and bruises on her body and face.
The court awarded the money as compensation for moral damages, with interest from the date of the assault and monetary adjustment.
Brunet said the sum is small compared with Parisotto’s financial means and cannot undo the harm.
She said the decision is not a victory and that she will continue seeking compensation she considers proportionate to the violence and its effects.
Brunet said her continued effort is also intended to help other women believe that justice can respond effectively to violence.

What people are saying
I know it is a significant amount for the vast majority of Brazilians. But I also know that, given the financial reality of the person who assaulted me, it represents very little.
This is not about putting a price on pain. No money erases an assault, restores lost peace of mind or fully repairs the physical or emotional scars left by violence.
I will continue seeking compensation proportional to the severity of the violence I suffered and the consequences it has had on my life.
