A Brazilian sports reporter was filmed telling a man off after he tried to kiss her on the cheek while she was doing her job.
Julia Guimaraes was in Yekaterinburg, Russia, at the Japan v Senegal World Cup match when a man approached and tried to kiss her while she was on air.
She managed to avoid the kiss before telling the man, who she did not know, never to do that to a woman again.
‘Never do this again’
Neste domingo, o #Fantástico falou sobre os casos de assédio que tem acontecido na Copa do Mundo. Abaixo, a gente mostra um deles, que ocorreu com a repórter Júlia Guimarães. A bronca dada por ela ao engraçadinho, fica como recado: "Não faça isso!" https://t.co/XYlBMSCVEm pic.twitter.com/tERPgTzkZy

“Don’t do this! Never do this again,” Ms Guimaraes shouted at the man.
After going out of shot he could be clearly heard apologising to the journalist, repeatedly saying “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t do this, I don’t allow you to do this, never, OK? This is not polite, this is not right.
“Never do this to a woman, OK? Respect.”
Sexism in Russia
The TV Globo and SportTV journalist said that she had never experienced such an incident in Brazil, but that it had happened twice to her in Russia during the tournament.
It comes days after another reporter from Colombia, Julieth Gonzalez Theran, had her breast grabbed by a man and was then kissed without her consent.
“We do not deserve this treatment,” Gonzalez Theran said. “We are equally valuable and professional.”
Burger King Russia was also forced to apologise after offering a lifetime supply of Whoppers to a woman who got pregnant by a footballer.
