Actor Yudi Tamashiro, 30, suffered attacks from haters and lost supporters after declaring his vote for presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PL) for pursuing “Christian values”. In light of the fallout, First Lady Michel Bolsonaro, 40, hailed her “courage and strength” for supporting her husband in the 2022 election.
In a post on Instagram, the artist, who rose to fame as the host of the extinct Bom Dia & Companhia (SBT), shared a video saying he didn’t position himself in favor of the current president to gain likes or media .
This video is a tirade and for you who have been criticizing me since yesterday, texting me since I posted the video, saying that I did it to get attention, to gain followers, that I did it because of the media have done. you didn’t understand anything Yesterday I had 4 million followers, today I have 3 million and 900 and it just keeps falling and I knew this was going to happen but there was something that was bothering me because I know my stats and I know what I think . I know who brought me here. I know my life without Christ and in Christ, with the values of Christ and without the values of Christ, to fully recognize my life.

“I stop and think that our life really mimics social media and social media mimics our lives. When I said “I’m evangelical” five years ago, I live it and I don’t believe it. Many friends have distanced themselves, I After receiving invitations, many things have changed, but it has been a process. The most wonderful thing about all of this is that when you serve Christ, things happen and you bear good fruit,” he added.
After the recording, Yudi Tamashiro pointed out that one of the attacks received stemmed from memories of his father’s death from Covid19 the main criticism of the Bolsonaro government for delaying vaccine purchases.
That’s cowardice. I don’t have to remember that my father died from Covid. I remember every day, but I also remember that there were great doctors who took care of my father… I took one of the doctors to my father and she said to me: “Yudi, we don’t know what we are Father’s condition is just a miracle”. I believe in miracles and in the will of God. If that’s the way God wanted it, you’re not going to decide what’s right for me.

In the last part of the video, he refers his followers to the central theme of supporting Jair Bolsonaro for his “Christian values”. However, he makes it clear that Lula is not buying his vote by speaking of “picanha e cervejinha” in his speeches.
“You can’t forget your values in Christ. I know my preChrist and postChrist family, and a picanha and beer speech isn’t going to buy my values. Remember, this isn’t about Bolsonaro, it’s about the church and what I do believe… Feel free if you want to stop following me, but I will move on with the certainty of who I am and where I want to go. I want to serve the Lord,” he concluded.
