The 24-year-old shared an emotional video on Tuesday, June 9, 2026 on her Instagram account, detailing the incident that occurred on Sunday evening at an after-party following the Guapo festival, according to accounts, Bella was attentively engaging with fans when Leite became aggressive.

She has openly documented her transition journey, evolving from bodybuilding roots to embracing her identity through personal and lifestyle content. Her posts often cover topics of self-discovery, relationships, and daily life, resonating strongly within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. Bella’s transparency has helped her build a dedicated fanbase that values her authenticity.

Will Leite, also referred to as Wil Leite, had been publicly dating Bella for recent months. Reports indicate Bella provided financial support, including covering the cost of his rhinoplasty procedure. The relationship attracted attention due to its visibility on social media, though it has now ended amid the controversy. No prior public records of assaults against Will, involving other women has appeared in current reports as of yet.


The incident unfolded publicly at the after-party of the Guapo festival in São Paulo on Sunday. Witnesses described Bella interacting warmly with fans when Will Leite reacted with aggression, including a reported chokehold-style action known as "mata leão" that left her visibly distressed and humiliated in front of others. She was being super attentive to fans approaching her at the time. A lawyer who observed the events was outraged enough to file a boletim de ocorrência (police report) on the spot, highlighting the public nature of the aggression.

In her emotional video shared on Tuesday, Bella addressed the situation directly, stating she had never felt so humiliated. She confirmed Leite later offered an apology, which she did not accept as sufficient. Bella emphasised her current safety and delivered a strong message to women: “Mulheres não aceitem nenhum tipo de violência” (Women, do not accept any type of violence). The video has sparked widespread discussion and support.


Will Leite and Bella Longuinho had been sharing moments from their relationship publicly on social media in recent months. Bella reportedly supported him financially, including paying for his rhinoplasty. The pair’s time together drew attention, but online discourse now focuses on patterns of behaviour that raised concerns among observers. Some noted that Will appeared rude or controlling in previous shared videos.

Bella’s announcement marks a definitive end to the partnership. In her video, she confirmed the breakup following the assault, prioritising her wellbeing and refusing to tolerate the incident. Will Leite has faced significant backlash, with reports indicating his profile may have been adjusted or photos remain visible despite the split.

Leite addressed the accusations in a video statement. He claimed the party was chaotic and that a man had touched Bella inappropriately. According to him, he tried to pull her away from the situation after she did not hear him, but did so too roughly. He apologised for the harsh pull, describing it as a misunderstanding in the crowded environment. He said-


“What happened was the following: we were at a party, the party was very chaotic. Then a person arrived, asking to take a photo with her, and right after that the guy started groping her butt. And since it was so chaotic, I called her to get away from the guy, but she didn't hear me. And right after that, I pulled her, but I pulled her too roughly.”

Followers on social media have been vocal about red flags they claim were visible in earlier videos and posts featuring the couple. Many described Will Leite’s demeanour as rude, controlling, or prone to losing his temper. Comments on X highlighted instances where he appeared “grosso” (rude or harsh) towards Bella, with some noting his behaviour seemed off-putting or aggressive even before the latest incident.

Sad situation, but it's no surprise at all. That man already had an aggressive way in her videos, it was obvious!

“He assaulted her right in the middle of the crowd at the after-party of the guapo on Sunday. So sad, she was super embarrassed and was being really attentive to everyone who came up to her.” - wrote another user


Another fan posted-

“He was super rude to her; when he got mad, he lost control. I hope she’s doing well.”

A user also asked -

“But what on earth did she do for him to react with aggression? I want to understand the reasons! What an absurdity!”

Many fans expressed relief at the breakup and urged paying attention to early warning signs while others thought she was just doing it for attention.
