Jean Wyllys used Rita Lee’s music to get Boninho to put him on ‘BBB’

In a video on a social network, journalist, writer and artist Jean Wyllys revealed that she used a Rita Lee classic to answer two questions in the final round of interviews for the ‘BBB’ selection, in 2005.

The first question was asked by general manager Boninho: how did he deal with the rejection. Another director wanted to know if the candidate thought gays were lonely.

“My response was to quote a line from ‘Mutant’: ‘every time I feel a little rejected, a lump forms in my throat, I cry until my soul is dry of all pain, then I move on to another , as a mutant ; deep down, always alone, following my own path.”

The aforementioned song, composed by Rita Lee and her life partner, Roberto de Carvalho, is part of the album ‘Saúde’, released by the singer in 1981. (Watch the video at the end of the post.)

“There is our loneliness; us, the different, the strangers. We, the black sheep of the family,” reflects Wyllys. “Even surrounded by people, there is a loneliness that accompanies us.”

Selected, the brother faced homophobia on the Globo reality show. Supported by the public, he ended up champion. The first and only openly gay to win the program in 23 editions.

Now 49, the former federal deputy lives in Barcelona, ​​​​​​Spain, where he is a doctoral student in Political Science. Recently, he announced his intention to return to Brazil by the end of July. He intends to collaborate with the government of President Lula.
