Leandro became embroiled in scandal when he admitted on TVI that he attacked his dog because he thought the animal had bitten his son.
The singer accused the IRA (Animal Intervention and Rescue) of being “taken advantage of”. “For me, the “stick” is a thrill. My dog attacked my neighbor. After that she became aggressive. The dog was playing with my son and I heard Simau crying. When I walk into the living room, I see a 55-pound dog sitting on top of my four-year-old, his face covered in blood. I slapped her to get her away,” he explained.
“The IRA claim is unfounded. What they say is not a crime, what is said there, and what I said, strictly does not compromise anything. “I hope the IRA will make a statement apologizing for what they are trying to do with my name,” he concluded.
