The singer also stressed that at the beginning of her career, people were not open about accepting the fat body. With that, she explained that she eventually lapsed into this biased talk several times and then sought ways to combat her own weight.
“THE fat phobia and all these prejudices are structural. People often thought they were nice to me,” he said during the interview.
The situation happened in the dressing room of the owner of SBT
According to the artist, she was invited to participate in the Silvio Santos. Before the recording began, Silvio asked her to call Preta to her dressing room. She even said that given the unexpected invitation, she would win a show on the channel.
But it was not like that. Silvio called Preta Gil into the dressing room to recommend an endocrinologist to see. Then the owner of the station said that the doctor was good and would help her lose weight.
“I have a story I never told. I went to Silvio Santos’ show and then to his dressing room, quite happy, I thought he was giving me a show SBT. Then he turned to me and said: “I want to give you a wonderful tip”. Then he took a piece of paper, a pen (and said): “This is a wonderful endocrinologist I go to. Look, I lost weight, you’ll be fine. And he gave me the paper,” he told the podcast hosts.
Finally, Preta explained that she was embarrassed at the time not knowing how to react to this situation. She just thanked the moderator and took the paper, but pointed out that if the situation happened today, the artist would simply return the note to Silvio.
