A singer allegedly beat his wife because he didn’t like a video she’d posted of her and her workmates dancing.
Diego ‘Dieguinho’ Damasceno is accused of assaulting Kaline Milena Oliveira as they drove home from a drinking session with friends.
The 29-year-old allegedly flew into a jealous rage over a video his wife had posted on social media.

The clip in question shows Milena, 30, and her colleagues dancing as they promoted an energy shot at an event.
She says her husband began verbally abusing her as they drove home in the early hours of Monday (7 Apr).
He then started punching her in the face with his right hand while steering with his left in Manaus, Brazil.
Mum-of-two Milena was left with a swollen, bloodied face and three broken front teeth after the alleged beating.

She later recalled: “He started bringing up an argument we’d had earlier. The fight happened because I posted a video of myself working.
“He didn’t like it and started hitting me while the car was still moving. My arm is bruised, my mouth is swollen.
“I tried to protect myself with my hands. When we got to the building, I was covered in blood.
“I climbed the stairs by myself, and he even told me to take a shower to hide the blood. I told him no and told him to leave.”

The couple have been together for nearly a year, and it is not the first time Damasceno has allegedly assaulted Milena.
She says she fell victim to his violence once in July 2024 and again in October that year, losing another tooth in one of the attacks.
Damasceno went on the run following the latest alleged attack, but he turned himself in to the police on Tuesday (8 Apr) night.
He was arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent, as reported by Need To Know.
The singer may have turned himself in because vigilantes from the Comando Vermelho organised crime group had said they were seeking him.
Milena’s lawyer, Adriane Magalhães, said: “We found out here at the station that he’s already facing charges for other assaults, and he even has a record for not paying child support.”
Both Damasceno and Milena are popular on social media, with each boasting a five-figure Instagram following.
Magalhães said of her client: “She lost three front teeth, needed stitches in her mouth, and will need reconstructive surgery.

“All of this happened over something trivial. He got jealous of a post she made on social media for her work.
“He locked her in the car, rolled up the windows, and started beating her. She remembers up to the sixth punch, then she blacked out.”
