This is the moment a fitness influencer turned adult content star is seen sitting on a pavement visibly shaken after being robbed and having her luxury SUV stolen at gunpoint.
The robbery happened in Barra Olimpica, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the night of 15th October.
Gracyanne Barbosa, 42, and her older sister, Barbara Jacobina, were returning from a samba rehearsal when three armed men ambushed them and stole their Land Rover Defender 110, valued at around BRL 800,000 (GBP 109,520).
Witnesses said the sisters stopped at a petrol station to buy medicine when the robbers approached.
Barbosa, who was sitting in the backseat, said a gunman pointed a weapon at her head, pulled her hair, and threw her to the ground, injuring her knee.
Her sister was unharmed.
Video shared on social media shows the visibly distressed model sitting on the pavement outside the petrol station moments after the assault as bystanders come to her aid.
Nearby motorcycle couriers reportedly helped the sisters before they left the scene in a ride-hailing car and went to a police station to report the crime.
The Police Chief Marcos Buss said that CCTV footage is being analysed to help identify the three suspects.
Barbosa had been recovering from recent knee surgery following an injury sustained on the popular TV programme “Dancing with the Stars.”
The robbery comes a year after Barbosa made headlines for joining Brazilian adult platform FanFever following her split from singer Belo after nearly 16 years of marriage.
At the time, Barbosa had told her 11 million Instagram followers that she would sell erotic photos and videos to fans who subscribed to her FanFever account.
The bodybuilder said she was “free, light, loose and ready to do mischief.”
A competitor to OnlyFans, the Brazilian platform charges lower fees for creators and allows them to set their own prices.
Barbosa offered subscriptions for BRL 69.90 (GBP 9.57) and within 24 hours had gained more than 1,630 subscribers, raising around BRL 100,000 (GBP 13,700).
She told fans: “You know that photo or video you’ve always dreamed of seeing me do? I can make it especially for you.”
Barbosa said at the time that the move came after a period of personal change, adding: “At 40, I find new energy to stand tall, focus more on myself, love myself, and take even better care of myself.”
