I don't remember that incident myself, but if he "assaulted Ronnie" then he probably got the red card for the, y'know, assault.
I've got family in South America and follow South American football a bit (admittedly, more the Argentine side of things), and it seems that the consensus on Neymar is that he's unfathomably talented but he also gets so much protection from the Brazilian FA and refs. It's basically a guaranteed foul if you even touch him, and he'll make sure that he goes down to earn the freekick even it's a fair tackle.
