Andressa Urach

Andressa Urach was just 15 years old when she started an affair with Tiago Cost. Within three months, they began being together, they went to live with him in his home. Arthur Urach Costa (born May 19 in 2005) was their sole child. Following marital disagreements and divorce, they separated in 2008 after spending six years together. Andressa was able to move in together with their son in her mother's residence. After 6 months of separation she lost her job, and then decided to leave her son with his father to try for the better opportunities at Sao Paulo however, being highly ambitious and self-centered, the main reason she left the South was to become a wealthy and well-known. Andressa Urach writes in her memoir Morri Para Viver about her experience of sexual assault by her foster father which occurred between the ages of two and eight. Andressa Urach was able to get free of the abuse after her foster grandma caught her doing it. Andressa then returned home to her mother, and she was not aware that she was abused up until Andressa published her memoir. In interviews, the famous woman has claimed that before her conversion to Christianity she would not be able to forgive her victim. I made one of the hardest decisions of my life I called the man who sexually assaulted me. It wasn't an easy task to do. After many prayer symphonies and fasting I said over the phone that I forgave the man and, even though I was not guiltless, I asked him for forgiveness. In no way did I justify my actions, I just asked for forgiveness. Mariste Urach discusses in an interview with Globo about how she felt after learning of the abuse her daughter had suffered. She went to the city in Rio Grande do Sul where the perpetrator lived in order to take the revenge.
