Bruno, from the duo with Marrone, has published a video with an apology on social networks; Lisa also spoke
country singer Brunoof the duo with Marrone, he published a video on his Instagram this Monday 15 in which he apologized to the journalist Lisa Gomesfrom RedeTV!, after being transphobic with the journalist.
“I’m here to apologize to Lisa Gomes for what I asked of her. I was totally childish, I was totally inconsiderate, and I want to apologize. I’m sorry, Lisa Gomes,” Bruno said, via video.
Last Friday, the 12th, the singer asked the journalist a transphobic question. The episode took place before Bruno and Marrone’s concert at Villa Country, in San Paolo.
Videos circulating on social media show the moment the artist asks Lisa if she “has dick,” holding her private parts as she questions herself. The reporter is a trans woman.
In an interview with Earth, Lisa said she was exposed in a way she would not have liked. “This type of information is only about me … I’m not well, she has hurt me terribly. She has put me in a situation that I can’t explain,” she vented.
Lisa’s statement
After the singer’s apology, Lisa Gomes also used her Instagram to thank the messages of support received and underline that transphobia is a crime.
“I want to thank you for your affection, your welcome. I felt that hug, that positive energy from afar, but I can’t stop saying that what I went through was horrible. What I felt was horrible because it made me taken to a place again that I would not like. When we go through a transition process, it is a very painful, very difficult process, because I have never been able to handle body acceptance well. Everything you already know about trans women. Clearer, that we were born in the wrong body,” she said.
“I had my rights violated. I felt invaded, I felt my privacy exposed in a way that I didn’t want it to be. So, all this hurt me a lot, all this made me go back to a place that I didn’t want When it comes to an artist who is so renowned and loved by the public, because as a singer I think he is sensational, he has an incredible voice, but there is nothing more to talk about. I felt disrespected by you, yes, Bruno. No I wish you could hear it too because it’s really bad,” she added.
“I think the biggest retraction is recognizing that even what you did wasn’t nice, it hurt, it annoyed not just me, but an entire community, which is fighting for respect, space in the job market. Today I’m an advocate for so many girls, transgender women who want to enter this job market. That’s what I do,” she also said.
The journalist ended the video by asking for respect for trans women. “Transphobia is not an opinion, it’s a crime. And you have to be aware of it.”
