Enzo Gabriel, the former boyfriend of influencer Paulla Rafaella, was arrested in Teresina, Brazil, after reaching out to Paulla via social media. He has been accused of physically assaulting her for three months, with the allegations gaining traction after she shared her experiences online. Following his arrest, Gabriel was taken to the Women’s Specialized Police Station to provide a testimony and remain in custody.

The relationship between Paulla and Gabriel lasted roughly ten months, but it has been marred by accusations of jealousy-fueled violence that began in October 2025. Paulla detailed a particularly harrowing incident on January 31, where she attempted to escape through a window only to be thwarted by Gabriel, who confined her in a locked room. She described being physically restrained and having her phone taken away, emphasizing the struggle to scream for help during these violent episodes.

The situation is further compounded by the fact that Paulla is a mother of three children; her eldest son, aged 11, witnessed some of the abuse. This troubling dynamic highlights the serious implications of domestic violence not only on victims but also on children, raising awareness about the need for protective measures and support for affected families.
