Roberta Rodrigues opens the game on the trial against Globo

The actress Roberta Rodrigues, 42, gave her first interview after winning a cause against TV Globe for racism and bullying behind the scenes of the novel At the time of the emperor. In conversation with the Leodias portal, he revealed that, together with his colleague Dani Ornellas, he decided to sue the station after episodes of discrimination involving the artistic director Vinícius Coimbra. The Court ordered Globo to pay $ 500,000 in compensation to the actress.

Roberta reported that the black actors of the soap work have been summoned to a secret meeting, in which racism was explicit. He highlighted the lack of support from the management of the station in front of the complaints and underlined the importance of the struggle for justice: “Racism is a crime and we must run after our rights”.

The actress also said that many doubted the success of the cause, stating that she would no longer work on television. However, Roberta celebrated victory and encouraged other victims of discrimination to seek their rights, strengthening that justice can also be reached in front of large companies.
