Red pill in debt
Thiago Schutz is being sued by a printing company that took him to court in June 2017. The misogynist influencer admitted to owing the company R$18,500 and agreed to a settlement.
According to information from Splash, which had access to the process, the “Campari Coach” reached an agreement whereby he would pay a deposit of R$ 2,600 and another 6 consecutive installments of the same amount. However, of the total, Thiago only paid R$4,900, meaning he violated the legal agreement.

Since Thiago Schutz did not comply with the legal agreement, the printing company requested the confiscation of the influencer’s income on his YouTube channel.
“In this way, in view of the foregoing, the defendant requests that an official letter be sent to Google Brasil Internet Ltda, holder of the YouTube rights in Brazil, requesting that the debtor, holder of the account, be blocked and that the amounts be duly allocated until then confiscate the proper payment of the debts,” the lawsuit against the “Campari Coach” requests.
Thiago Schutz’s defense explained to Splash that the court had not yet approved the blocking of the influencer’s income and that it was a “common case”.
Thiago Schutz threatens to kill actress
Earlier this year, Thiago Schütz didn’t like a parody that actress Livia La Gatto made of one of his videos and threatened to kill her.
In an emailed message to Lívia La Gatto, Thiago Schutz stated: “You have 24 hours to remove your content about me. After that you can sue or shoot. The choice is yours,” he said in a private message on the actress’s social networks .
As a result of this threat, the São Paulo State Ministry brought charges against Schutz in March of this year for threatening the actress. The hearing will take place this Thursday (9) and is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. and can be held via video conference.
Remember the Thiago Schutz case
Coach Thiago Schutz did not like actress Lívia La Gatto’s satire on a video that went viral on social media in which he criticized a woman who offered him a beer while he was drinking Campari.
The actress did a skit that made the trainer nervous:
When the coach saw La Gatto’s satire, he threatened her physical integrity. The actress posted a printout of the message Schutz sent her in Stories on her Instagram profile.
Schutz called on the actress and screenwriter to delete the video in which she made fun of him: “You have 24 hours to remove your content about me. Then sue or shoot. The choice is yours,” he said in a private message on the actress’s social networks.

After the threats, La Gatto filed a police report and blocked Schutz on Instagram.
The story, popular with Internet users, even got a twist and a video appeared of the woman allegedly offering the trainer beer:
Calvo do Campari
Another woman who also criticized Schutz was singer Bruna Volpi. In a video she says that the trainer contacted her via social media.
Crush hurt
The controversy doesn’t end there. Thanks to Calvo do Campari’s misogynistic speeches, internet detectives investigated the young man’s life to find out why women were so angry. Then they discovered he was being tricked by an admirer on the reality show The perfect crushfrom Netflix, from 2020. In the show, six people show how they behave on a blind date.
When the reality show started, Thiago, who used the surname Schoba on the show, was accused of “stealing” a book written by a young woman. “When I was 15 years old, I was robbed by this guy who owns this publishing house (Nova Editorial). He published my book and not only didn’t send me the profits, but he also didn’t send the work to the people who bought it. Now he’s in a Netflix series,” the post reads.

Who is Thiago Schutz?
A selfproclaimed author, speaker and presenter, the coach gained notoriety for making sexist speeches and even charging up to R$2,500 for a consultation. He is part of the “Red Pill” group, consisting of misogynistic men who distort the concept of the film The Matrix (1999).
Today, red and blue pills from the Matrix trilogy are part of the vocabulary of rightwing and farright extremists around the world. “Red Pill” is a ubiquitous term in masculinist groups.
In the film, the protagonist Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) is given two pills and has to choose one: the blue one, which allows him to enter a world of illusions; or red to become aware of the reality that surrounds you.
In masculinist vocabulary, “red pills” would be men who resist the “system that favors women” because they have privileged knowledge of it. The “blue pills” would continue to live in the illusion and therefore be used by women.
An ironic detail between different colored pills: The two directors of “The Matrix”, the Wachowski sisters, are trans women. One of them, Lilly, even took public figures like Ivanka Trump, Elon Musk, and even Abraham Weintraub to task for using the term “red pill” in support of the far right.
