Barbie brawl! Shocking moment grandmother knocks woman dressed in pink to the ground after she complained about child watching YouTube videos during screening of Margot Robbie blockbuster
- Cinemagoers had to be restrained as they brawled during the closing credits
Shocking video shows the moment a brawl erupts between two women after one complained that the grandchild of the other had been watching YouTube videos in the cinema, interrupting a screening of the new Barbie movie.
The footage starts with a large crowd of cinemagoers arguing with one another from their seats in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as the credits are rolling, with Billie Eilish‘s ‘What Was I Made For?’ heard playing in the background.
Suddenly one woman wearing pink trousers storms up the stairs to another, who is donning a fuchsia jacket, before violently shoving her to the ground as a man tries to intervene.
The woman who was knocked down quickly gets back to her feet and tries to exact some revenge on her attacker, reportedly a grandmother who was angry at remarks made about her grandchild.
The two women can be seen insulting each other, while the man makes sure he stays between them and tries to keep them apart as the footage ends.

The incident took place in the Bourbon Shopping Centre in Sao Paulo, in Brazil, on Monday, July 24.
The victim, named in Brazilian media as Melissa Caroline, reportedly took to social media to explain her side of the story.
She said that she was attacked by a woman after complaining that she was unhappy that a young girl had made noise throughout the film.
Melissa said: ‘The film is playing and the child opens YouTube next to me, just in time for Billie’s song.
‘I complained about it to her mother, and the others around started calling me a slacker, a slut, and making derogatory remarks.’
She reportedly called the police over the matter, adding: ‘I simply said that the film’s age limit was 12 and that she shouldn’t be there.
‘And I said out loud: “Ask your mother what a sugar daddy is, because that’s what it says in the movie.”

She also said: ‘I just said it the whole time, you can even hear it in the video that I said it. I didn’t curse at anyone, I just wanted to watch my movie in peace.’
Melissa said: ‘That was what happened. I didn’t look for a fight with anyone, I didn’t raise my voice with anyone.
‘They simply took a child who didn’t behave to the cinema, but from the grandmother’s attitude, you can already imagine why. At no time was I rude to the child. I just said she wasn’t in her home.’
The cinema has reportedly not commented on the matter. It is currently unclear if the police are involved.
