Known for poking fun at her experiences as a foreigner in Brazil, the German comedian Lea Maria (29) says he has to deal with machismo in the field. A victim of domestic violence, she says that, almost two years after the episode, she is still questioned about the veracity of her complaint.

To this day I face [machismo]but today I don’t notice it that much. Throughout the history I have lived, even today there are people who doubt me, who approach me in another way or who don’t think my success was deserved.“, complains Lea Maria, in an interview with With you!. “I’ve been through so much that it doesn’t affect me anymore.

In February 2023, the comedian reported having been the victim of domestic violence by her ex-husband, also a comedian Giuliano Gaspare. “I am yet another victim of domestic violence. Physical and psychological“he wrote in an Instagram post.

She takes this opportunity to leave a tip for other women who want to pursue comedy. “Surrender [risos]Don’t do it, look for something else“, he begins good-naturedly.”I would say to be together with other women, because we are increasingly united. There are always these open evenings where people can test the material, there is always a woman who will recommend you to someone else.”

Explain that each show is surprising, so you need to be prepared for different situations. “Every show is a box of surprises, sometimes there’s a drunk, a child… there was a deaf person I interacted with. Sure, sometimes we don’t joke and people don’t interact, but it’s a juggling act we have to do..”

This is even more intense with the Brazilian audience. “Brazil is a box of infinite surprises. It’s just that I will never be able to see everything that happens in Brazil, there will always be something new. I am passionate about music, I love discovering new artists. Brazilian culture is so rich that, for me, there is no way it can end.”
