Victim of childhood abuse, the actress sought the strength to overcome trauma and fight low self-esteem thinking she was ugly
The death of Claudia Jimenez, 63, a victim of heart complications and chest cancer, ends not only a successful career on TV, but also a life of surprising overcoming.
At age 7, she was sexually abused by a neighbor. She did not have the courage to report him. She only told her mother about her when she turned 18, after the death of her father.
The comedian said that episode of violence and suffering in silence damaged his relationship with the boys in his teens.
Also, Claudia had to face refusal to be fat. “They didn’t want to be with me,” she reminded her. “I didn’t even have a partner at the June parties.”
He has lived through years of insecurity and loneliness. “I had neither form nor vanity. I thought I didn’t have the power to seduce a man, ”she told ‘Folha de S. Paulo’ in 2011.
“Since I was meant to be loved, I went after women,” she revealed. It was the way found to “plug the hole of affection”. Dated some famous, however, they preferred to keep their identity secret.
Curiously, one of her most beloved characters, the owner Cacilda of ‘Escolinha do Professor Raimundo’, was an insatiable man-eater, desired by all for her large silhouette.

Claudia has experienced few, but great loves. The best known was with personal trainer Stela Torreão, with whom he has been married for 10 years. The friendship and business collaboration continued after the separation.
When he was already a celebrity, the comedian decided to give the male audience another chance. “I’ve had sex with a lot of male magic (laughs). I was experiencing what I didn’t experience as a teenager, ”he told the newspaper.
In 2008 Jimenez fell in love with Rodrigo Phavanello. At the time, the former lead singer of the Dominó group was at the beginning of his television acting career. “I was extremely in love with her,” the boy said.
The report uncovered in the press has spawned harmful gossip. The age difference – he 32 and she 50 – has bothered many people. “There were prejudices in my family too,” the heartthrob said.
Happy, Claudia did not listen to the opposing crowd. She lived intensely the months of the love affair with Phavanello. Mutual admiration remained after the friendly breakup.

On Instagram, the actor posted a tribute as soon as he learned of his ex’s death.
“Ciccio you came to this Earth and you became one of the most amazing human beings I have ever met! You have wonderfully accomplished your mission by bringing your joy and making us laugh! And there’s a phrase you’ve always said to me: NO ONE IS NORMAL LOOKING CLOSELY! I’m sure this was your truth about this step here! Rest in peace my angel! My deepest condolences to all the family you loved so much! Now you have become an Anja! ”, He wrote.
