“The edit was worse than the sonnet,” Maya commented on CMTV’s “Noite das Estrelas.”
More than a month and a half ago, when the domestic violence case broke, José Castillo Branco was staying at the house of Carlos Cruz's ex-wife, Marlos, in the Estoril area. At the time, since she had nowhere to go, her friend ended up offering the 61-year-old socialite a helping hand, but always on the condition that it was a temporary situation. However, this is no longer a reality. “The Mag” Castelo Branco has already left Marluce's house and now lives in Parque das Nações in Lisbon.
“Ze knew he couldn't stay at Marlos' house forever, this was a condition. He would have to find a solution. It had already been going on for too long, and as much as Marlos was his friend, it couldn't be maintained.” long”A source said, adding that Castelo Branco ended up asking another friend for help.

“He's staying at a friend's house, who's a hairdresser. But we're back to the same thing. It's not a permanent situation, it's just to get out of trouble.”
On social media, the socialite has already given hints about a change of direction, and is now showing himself on the streets of his new temporary residence.
Change José Castelo Branco reminds us that his situation becomes more complicated every day. The most urgent matter to be resolved is the home issue, but at the moment there is no solution in sight. Staying in the apartment of his son, Guilherme, is out of the question, as he himself has already revealed, and the fact that he has no steady income to support himself plays against the socialite.
On the other hand, there is no hope of employment in sight, and Castelo Branco's last hope, which was to return to the United States, has failed, with the judge changing the coercive measures and forcing him to surrender his passports, and he is now banned from leaving the country.
“Besides having nothing, for Zee, there was always the illusion of returning to New York. Now, that is no longer a reality.”
worry about the future
At 61 years old, without any source of income, with debts to the tax authorities and a domestic violence case in the courts, the future poses great uncertainty for José Castelo Branco, and those close to him fear what might happen next.
“Ze is not doing well. In fact, his relationship with Betty was the stability he needed. Since he was with Betty in New York and managed to stay away from controversy, he was fine, and he was calm. Now, everything seems to have gone downhill.”The source explains, adding that as time passes and funds become scarce, the scenario becomes more complex.
“Right now, Ze needed to calm down, to have someone to advise him, instead of shooting videos in fancy stores, on Liberty Street, which doesn’t do anything good for his public image. But he really hasn’t realized that yet.”
Among friends, there is also fear that Castelo Branco will not remain under the authority of Marlos, who has had a positive influence in the life of Betty Grafstein's still-husband.
“There is a lawsuit coming, there will be more expenses, and household issues, but it seems like Zi can't focus on the basics. Let's hope it's not too late later…”
As a socialite's life falls apart in Portugal, Betty Grafstein pursues recovery in the United States. The American showed improvement, revealing that she lives peacefully away from Jose Castelo Branco, who is 95 years old.
