In a lengthy farewell message, the 46-year-old spoke about a “breach of agreement” by his partner.
He said: “Sometimes exhaustion hits hard, emotional weakness takes over, there’s immeasurable pain, and the way I’ve found to ease the pain right now is to say goodbye to you all.
“It’s been a little over a year here on the internet, and during that time we brought joy, laughter, lightness, and incredible moments.
“So many people the internet brought us, people I admired from afar and became close to, friends we made, memorable moments.
“I also want to say that knowing and living with Arthur were the two best years of my life.
“I came back to life and I’ve never been so happy.
“There was a breach of agreement on his part, but I also understand that we are human and obviously prone to mistakes, and that’s okay.
“Don’t judge, forgive. I ask from the bottom of my heart that you don’t have hate, because we were always about love.
“I don’t have anger, on the contrary, I have love, because it was with him that I came back to life, smiled again, and gave me the laughter you all loved so much.
“My love, you will always be my darling, my little life, my little tick, my little one, and my love.
“You didn’t make a mistake, you tried too hard to fit into a world that didn’t fit you. We’ve already talked and understood this, okay? Only we know.
“I say goodbye to this life with much peace, much calm in my heart, and in the God I always believed in. He is waiting for me with open arms because He knows my heart.
“I’m sorry, family, my nieces who are like daughters to me, follow your paths.
“I know I was a good example of a human being and a good person for you. Follow everything to the letter, okay?
“Mum and Dad, if I became an incredible, good, loving man, it’s because you existed, you were my role models.
“I love you and forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, but you know I loved sneaking out without saying goodbye.
“I will continue watching over you, I just changed my plans.
“I didn’t do it for Arthur, he has nothing to do with it, I love him.”
Carlos was found dead at his home in São Paulo, Brazil, yesterday (7 Apr), as reported by Need To Know.
His death was later confirmed by his press office, Grife de Ideias.
A spokesperson said: “Carlos was more than an influencer, he was a person who inspired, impacted, and carried his message to thousands of people.”
They also asked for respect and privacy for his family at this difficult time.
