Fiorella Giménez shared a distressing experience during her recent trip to Brazil. The artist, known for her participation in Showmatch, recounted in an emotional video posted on her social media how she was a victim of a crime while on an excursion with her grandmother.
According to the ex of Cachete Sierra, it all happened during a tour of the favela in Brazil, where both were enjoying the trip, she was caught by an unfortunate incident."I was drugged without my consent in Brazil," she began.

"We went on an excursion to see the favela, we were a group of five people: the guide, my grandmother, me, and two other Brazilian tourists" she continued explaining.
"We stopped at a place to eat and these two tourists ordered two banana smoothies and asked us if we wanted to try. My grandmother told me: 'Fio, drink mine if you want, because it will upset my stomach'. So I drank both and when I stood up I said "how tired my legs are", she recounted about the moments before discovering that the drink contained drugs.
"My legs started to tremble, the quadriceps. I felt like I couldn't climb the stairs anymore, like my legs were giving out. I thought it was the heat... but I started to feel the same in my arms," she revealed about her traumatic experience abroad.
After the sensations, she drank water and recovered for a few moments, but the discomfort returned a few minutes later. When they stopped at another place, she went to the bathroom with her grandmother and told her what was happening to her. "'Something is happening to my body that I've never felt in my life,' I told her. Then she grabbed my arm and said: 'Fiorella, come with me", she assured about the words they said to each other before she started to lose consciousness.
It was then that they decided to call a taxi and leave the place. When they managed to reach the hotel, she lay down to sleep and when she woke up, she again felt the discomfort in her arms and legs.
Without hesitation, Fiorella called her psychologist, told him what happened and to her surprise, he told her: "A patient last week told me the same situation you're telling me in Brazil with the same symptoms, but it wasn't with a banana smoothie, it was in a nightclub context at night".
Additionally, Fiorella revealed that she received a message via Instagram shortly after that said: "Good morning. Is everything okay? I'm the guy who was with you on the tour yesterday. Are you okay? I waited until the end of the tour to invite you to do something".
"Why are you asking me if I'm okay? Dude, you saw me once in your life and I left five minutes before the excursion. It all makes sense, you understand? Obviously, I blocked him and didn't respond. I'm a very trusting person, I don't really think people can have bad intentions. But you don't know how bad I felt."
"I couldn't control my body and I'm very aware of my body because I'm a dancer. They're not going to fool me. I didn't have low blood pressure, the heat doesn't affect me, none of that was happening to me", she argued.
"You know when your mom tells you 'never drink from a glass you didn't see how it was made'? Even if you're on a paid excursion where everything seems safe, never drink from a glass", the young woman concluded.
Fiorella's post on social media quickly caused reactions, as many followers expressed their concern and solidarity with the artist, leaving very positive comments and mainly congratulating her grandmother's bravery, who managed to keep her safe despite everything that happened: "Thank God, your grandmother was there", "The grandmother is all-terrain, not only does she enter the favela, but she also got her granddaughter out of there and took her safely to the hotel", "My respects to that grandmother".
