How do you feel about your mother being in the Famous House?
I have always supported my mother in all her projects and this is another one. It is her decision and I am happy that she can enjoy this opportunity.

The support is very great.

Do you think she is one of the finalists?
My mother is a gladiator and she will certainly go where she wants and the public decides. Ultimately it's a game and the audience decides.
But for me she is a winner because I see how people identify with her organized, disciplined, demanding and motherly style. Whoever screams sometimes, everyone screams at some point. But above all because she doesn't allow it and we've seen how many people see in her the courage to fight back.

What do you think of the people attacking her in the house?
When there is no more physical aggression, we are fine. I think the public already has that answer. You've seen how head-on he is. He always goes straight, so there's no aggression worth it. Such reality shows are like that, there is everything, drama, exaggerations and admiration with anger that is nothing but envy. But the most important thing is that nothing is personal.

My mother likes reality shows and had once refused to enter the celebrity house. He fully supported Madison Anderson Because they are friends, he kept voting for her and even sent her clothes. Before entering this reality show, she told me that she was worried because she was afraid of being separated from me and her businesses. We didn't really say goodbye physically, I left her a note wishing her success because it was very hard for me to say goodbye to her. I know she got it.
