José Castelo Branco decided to react to yesterday's controversy. The socialite was filmed arguing with some customers of a restaurant where he was having dinner, with the conversation escalating afterwards. José ended up physically confronting one of the people, grabbing his neck, as you can see here.
On social media, the public figure recorded a video that begins by rejecting the accusations that he was xenophobic: "To all those who felt offended and who say that I was aggressive, [I ask for] forgiveness. Forgive me for one reason, because I have the humility to apologize, if I make a mistake. In this case, I was wrong, because I couldn't stand the provocation. They say I'm xenophobic, I'm not. How can I be, if I have blood from Africa, India, Europe? I can't be xenophobic!"
José then reported some of the things that were said to him. "I couldn't hold back when I heard that I was a New York socialite, that I was married to a wealthy old woman. With Betty in the state she's in, it was almost impossible for me to control myself. So, I apologize to everyone. I lost control, I was ready to take the 'bull by the horns', but they filmed what they wanted to film", he recalled.
Finally, Betty Grafstein's partner said: "Even so, to my enemies, I apologize. And don't forget that the world turns many times. What we sow is what we reap. I don't mind at all that they speak ill of me, because I have done no harm to anyone, but do not speak ill of my Betty, nor of my son".
