The actress who gave up Globo 33 years ago refuses to gather fans in her office

“No, I’m a psychologist.”

“But isn’t that the actress?”

“I’m a psychologist.”

The above dialogue, reported by a source in the column, occurred more than once in the office of Lídia Brondi – also known as Dr. Lídia Rezende – in Itaim, an elegant neighborhood in the south of São Paulo.

The therapist refuses to be treated like a “TV star” by old and new patients. For her, her artistic career belongs to the past.

A graduate of the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC-SP) and member of the Brazilian Society of Analytical Psychology, Lídia helps people deal with trauma and conflict to improve mental health.

He does not give interviews or have a profile on social networks. One of the rare times she spoke to a journalist was in 2014, when she was approached by ‘IstoÉ’ magazine as she left her office.

“I know that it is inevitable that people talk about me, both because of my television career and because I am married to an actor, but this exposure compromises my work as a psychologist. It hurts me, it’s an issue that’s behind me,” he said, justifying his self-isolation.

The marriage with Cássio Gabus Mendes turns 33. The two fell in love behind the scenes on TV. They made three soap operas together on Globo: ‘Vale Tudo’ (forming the romantic couple Solange and Afonso), ‘Tieta’ and ‘Meu Bem Meu Mal’.

In the latter, in 1991, their characters (Fernanda and Doca) also ended up together, sealing their true passion. At the end of the recording, Lídia left her studies never to act again.

Trading fame and star status for an anonymous life has given her an aura of myth. In a world where celebrities are overrated, many people still don’t understand how their lives have changed.

Lídia Brondi probably left the artistic universe – marked by excessive vanity, cult of image and unfair competition – in search of freedom. Today, as he approaches his 64th birthday this October, he experiences the pleasures of being an ordinary person. Or almost.

The psychologist and former actress has an only daughter, Isadora, born from her relationship with the television director Ricardo Waddington. The young woman also studied Body Arts Communication at PUC and, like her mother, shows no interest in becoming famous.
