Rodriguinho took the lead in the final race; Problematic speeches attract attention
Advertising
Bursting, explosive, a bit sexist and fake. These were the terms that people who work with Rodriguinho used when speaking to the column. Before entering BBB 24, he was warned by his team to be careful with his speeches, which are often full of problematic terms and insulting those around him.
“He has a character to support at BBB. And hope the cameras don't catch him there. Rodriguinho is a fake,” a person who still works with the Pagodeiro told the column.
Interestingly, the above statement is part of a conversation I had with this source on January 5th, when Globo was promoting Big Day and the artist's name was confirmed. The person in question is still working with Rodriguinho and for obvious reasons we will keep his identity confidential. And just look at the message we received this Saturday (13): “I'm telling you that at some point the character will go down the drain and in the end he will show who he is.” Apparently the pieces started to fit together.
While he was part of the group Os Travessos, he fought with almost all of the members. Because he had an explosive temper and did not mince his words, he often insulted people he interacted with on a daily basis. It's no surprise that he hasn't had a conversation for years with Filipe Duarte, another lead singer of the group, with whom he only recently made peace after seven years of no contact.
Before joining BBB 24, Rodriguinho was instructed to reach out to old enemies to prevent these people from going public with reports of troubling experiences they had previously had.
For example, two of his exwives, with whom he had major problems, spoke positively about the singer. One of them is Nanah Damasceno, who revealed that she had been a victim of domestic violence on several occasions. Today she tries to erase the past and gives a positive speech about her exhusband.
Within BBB 24, Rodriguinho has made some problematic speeches in less than a week of detention. The main event took place this morning in the Leader's Room with Nizan Jokh, Lucas Pizane and Vinicius Rodrigues, with whom he spoke about various gaming topics. But the worst was yet to come.
The four decided to talk about Yasmin Brunet's body and the singer published the following sentences: “She's not a real blonde,” “She used to be better, but now she's older. But her face is beautiful,” “She is older and gave.” Today she ate 2 packages of cookies with whole grain cream cheese! She eats them! […] But out there, smartly dressed in the club, black guy, everything must be okay…”
Another speech by the Pagodeiro that was not well received referred to Davi Brito, who was considered xenophobic by Bahians. Speaking to Pizane, who was also born in Bahia, he said: “David has nothing guys, he's just an ordinary guy from Bahia. What's wrong with him? (sic).” And then he said, “That’s it. Just a guy from Bahia. I already had you. Why someone else who likes it?” The sentences were considered a stereotypical view of Bahians and Northeasterners in general.
Isabelle Nogueira also drew attention to the Pagodeiro after the Leader's Test on Thursday (11). During the Na Mira do Líder dynamic, he distributed three bracelets, gave one to the dancer and referred to her as an “Indian.”
“The term 'India' is a kind of derogatory term, the world understands that now. When you talk about an indigenous person, you are actually talking about an indigenous or indigenous people. 'India' was when the colonizer arrived in Brazil and wanted to say that we looked like the people of India,” she said.
