A former adviser to Jair Renan Bolsonaro revealed to Brazilian police that he maintained an “intimate” and “romantic” relationship with the fourth son of Jair Bolsonaro, former president of Brazil. Diego Pupe was heard as part of Operation Nexum, which investigates crimes against public faith, criminal association and damage to the treasury of the Federal District by a company in which Jair Renan is a partner.
“I had a relationship with Renan, which I haven’t told anyone about yet. I was expecting all this ‘woah’ from the police, but I’ll talk about it soon, okay? I had an intimate, romantic relationship with him”Pupe said.
The statement has had strong repercussions in Brazil due to Bolsonaro’s repeated homophobic statements throughout his career as a federal deputy.

‘I’m not going to fight or discriminate, but if I see two men kissing on the street, I’m going to hit’he told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper.
“The son starts to become like this, a bit homosexual, he gets beaten up and his behavior changes. Look, I see a lot of people saying: I’m glad I was beaten, my father taught me to be a man. We have to to trade “responded in a debate on TV Câmara.
When asked by Época magazine how he would react if he had a homosexual relative, he said: “It would be his problem. If that was his option to be happy, it could not (and could not) be banned by me neither), but it certainly wouldn’t convince me to come to my house.”
And the TV show Bandeirantes explained that his children would never be gay “because they had an education, a father present”.
