She alleges that the incident took place at a New Jersey hotel and that the assault occurred when she was invited alongside her friend to spend some time with the UFC fighter and his assistant.
Pereria’s team have as of yet not responded to Brown’s allegations.
In her videos she said: “Took me a while to find the courage to come out and say this, but I’ve been struggling so much with my mental health and I can barely get out of bed these days. Its eating me alive keeping it inside and not talking about it because I’m scared but im hoping this will help me heal and not feel so alone.
“I know some people wont believe me and think im “chasing clout” and stuff like that but I just wanna feel normal again and im hoping maybe me finding the courage to tell my story is the first step in that direction… If any other women have ever experienced this im so sorry, you’re not alone and I hope that this helps you find your voice again too.
But the Brazilian has been defended by former UFC fighter Jake Shields.
Taking to X formerly Twitter he wrote:
“This girl claims she was raped by Alex Pereira. She admits that he asked if he could stick it, she then consented and helped him. He was a gentleman and stayed over and cuddled and now she’s saying she was raped. These people damage real rape victims.”
