Juliano Cazarré Doubles Down on 'Strong Men' Event After Celebrity Backlash

His defense turned the project into a flashpoint in Brazil's fight over gender roles.

Overview

  • Cazarré promoted a men-only course he says will build "strong men" to counter what he calls a weakening of masculinity.
  • After prominent actors criticized the idea, he posted a sarcastic video thanking detractors and claiming more than 400,000 new Instagram followers.
  • He cast the project as a push for stronger families, responsible fatherhood, faith, and men's health.
  • Support then poured in from public figures including Gabriela Pugliesi, Julio Rocha, Luiza Possi, Rodrigo Nogueira, Juliana Knust, Claudia Leitte, and Caio Castro.
  • The dispute became one of the week's most talked-about topics online, with no confirmed details yet on the program's curriculum, organizers beyond Cazarré, dates, or venue.
