The former girlfriend of Manchester United winger Antony\u00a0has accused him of threatening her while pregnant, damaging breast implants and cutting her finger.<\/p>\n
Gabriela Cavallin, a DJ and influencer, has filed police reports against Antony both in their native Brazil and in England\u00a0and investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian news outlet UOL has published new allegations against the 23-year-old Brazil international footballer, including WhatsApp screenshots and photographs of injuries.<\/p>\n
In June, Cavallin accused Antony of domestic violence and making threats during a television interview in which she alleged the footballer didn’t allow her to leave their home.<\/p>\n
Antony responded with a statement on his Instagram account, saying he was ‘falsely accused’ and had been ‘suffering in silence’ as police investigations continued.<\/p>\n

The DJ and influencer Gabriela Cavallin has made more allegations against her former partner, the Manchester United and Brazil footballer Antony<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Antony remains under police investigation in Brazil but denies the abuse allegations<\/p>\n
The player’s representatives told UOL the case remains under ‘judicial secrecy’ and did not wish to comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mail Sport has contacted Antony’s representatives for comment. Manchester United replied ‘no comment’ when contacted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cavallin has spoken out again, telling UOL she was first attacked by the footballer in June 2022 while she was pregnant and on holiday in Brazil.<\/p>\n
She claims that Antony put her in a car, attacked her repeatedly and threatened to throw her out the vehicle at high speed.<\/p>\n
She continued to have a relationship with Antony but claimed in the interview he alternated between moments of affection and outbursts of aggression, before apologising.<\/p>\n
When Antony moved from Dutch club Ajax to United in August 2022, in a transfer worth \u00a382million, she accompanied him to England.<\/p>\n

Cavallin, a DJ and influencer, filed a police report in Brazil in June and then spoke out on TV<\/p>\n

Cavallin said she needed stitches to her breast after Antony allegedly injured her<\/p>\n
However, when he went to play for Brazil at the World Cup in Qatar, she tried to end the relationship for good but wasn’t able to do so.<\/p>\n
She says that on January 15 this year, Antony attacked her, causing a cut to her head, and dislocated her breast implant.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t remember exactly who the fight was about, but it was someone I had been with years ago,’ she told UOL. ‘He punched me in the chest and my silicone [implant] turned over.<\/p>\n
‘Then I came to Brazil for surgery to change the prosthesis. He said: ‘I didn’t mean to hurt you, it was accidental, it wasn’t a punch, I just pushed you, I just held you against the wall.’<\/p>\n
Cavallin said the final incident occurred on May 8, 2023, and led to the finger injury and her return to Brazil.<\/p>\n
She said: ‘I knew I had to leave, but I couldn’t. I liked him a lot. I had a lot of hope.<\/p>\n
‘I was very attached to the beginning of our relationship, to the things he was to me in the beginning. On that last day [May 8], it was very serious. I was really scared that I wouldn’t be able to get out of the house.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Antony posted a statement in Portuguese on Instagram in June as he stressed his innocence<\/p>\n
Cavallin alleges that Antony tried to hit her with a glass cup and as she defended herself with her hand, her finger was cut.<\/p>\n
‘Antony locked the door of the house and wouldn’t let me go out and I had my finger open, all hurt. He broke my things, took my passport,’ she said.<\/p>\n
Antony, who played in United’s 3-1 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday, issued a statement on his Instagram account in June.<\/p>\n
He wrote: ‘For you, after submitting my statement at the police station where the investigation involving my name is being conducted, I wanted to speak publicly for the first time since I was falsely accused of assault.<\/p>\n
‘I stayed silent until this moment so that nothing could interfere with the investigation process, but during all these days my family and I suffered in silence.<\/p>\n

‘Despite being born and raised in a very needy community, I have never been through a situation similar to this, in which a false assault charge resulted in a preliminary and unfair public judgement on the part of some.<\/p>\n
‘After the closure of the investigation, my innocence will certainly be proven and justice will prevail. The damage initially caused to my image will be in the past.<\/p>\n
‘Thank you for the countless messages of support received at this very difficult time.’<\/p>\n
Antony has been called into the Brazil squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia on September 8 and Peru four days later.<\/p>\n
