In a deeply disturbing incident that has shocked both Brazil and the online community worldwide, 22-year-old beauty and lifestyle influencer Luna Ambrozevicius Abrahao was brutally stabbed multiple times during a livestream on May 19 in São Paulo. The attack, which took place in front of her followers, left her with nine stab wounds across her body and highlighted the growing concern of intimate partner violence in the age of social media.

The perpetrator, identified as her ex-boyfriend Alex Olievira, is also the father of her 4-year-old daughter, Serena. Luna and Alex had reportedly been having ongoing conflicts after their separation. According to neighbors, arguments and tensions between the two had escalated in the weeks leading up to the assault. Tragically, these tensions erupted into a violent attack that was witnessed live by many of her followers.

The horrifying scene unfolded on Luna’s livestream, where viewers suddenly saw a violent struggle, screams, and a broken knife blade on the floor, stained with blood. Her terrified followers, who initially thought the sounds were part of a prank or performance, quickly realized the severity of the situation and called emergency services. Fortunately, help arrived in time, and Luna was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.

She suffered serious stab wounds to her head, back, foot, and hand. Surgeons spent hours repairing the physical damage, while her family and fans rallied behind her recovery. From her hospital bed, Luna released a heartfelt video expressing her gratitude to a neighbor who provided first aid and to her aunt, who ensured her daughter was taken to safety.

“God gave me another chance to live,” she said through tears. “I survived for my daughter. I felt her with me the whole time. I’m in pain, but I’m alive and that’s enough for me to keep going.”

Police have launched a full-scale manhunt for Alex Olievira, who fled the scene before law enforcement could arrive. He is now wanted on charges of attempted murder, domestic violence, and endangering a minor. Investigators believe he had been planning the attack after Luna cut off all contact with him earlier in the month.

Abrahao, who has nearly 260,000 followers across her platforms, is known for her makeup tutorials, dance reels, and candid family posts. Her vibrant energy and authenticity have garnered her a loyal fanbase. Since the attack, her social media has become a space of support and solidarity, with thousands leaving messages of love and urging her to stay strong.

Domestic abuse advocacy groups have also used the incident as a rallying call for better protections for women, especially those in vulnerable situations involving former partners.

Luna’s case underscores the dark reality many face behind the curated filters of social media. While her online life seemed picture-perfect, her private life was filled with silent suffering.

As Luna begins her physical and emotional recovery, she has vowed to speak out against domestic violence and use her platform to raise awareness. “I don’t want pity,” she said in her update. “I want change so that no woman has to go through this and feel alone.”
