Four Guests Charged in Assault on Universal Orlando Hotel Employee After Parking Dispute

Police cite a violent restaurant confrontation at Loews Portofino Bay, with possible bodycam video pending.

Overview

  • Authorities say the dispute began when the employee validated two parking tickets but declined two additional requests.
  • The group allegedly yelled, struck the employee’s iPad, and then hit and kicked the worker until another staff member intervened.
  • The suspects—Amanda Brito, Olivia Brito, Laura Silva, and Diorite Humberte—were taken into custody and later released on bond.
  • Officials signaled that additional updates could follow, including possible release of body camera footage.
  • Universal Orlando had not issued a public statement, and the episode has renewed concerns about team member safety at major resorts.
