At one point the journalist Renata Ceribelli asks Gabriel: “Do you have any suspicions about Wilma?” The young man insists: “No one. I don’t think she could have done anything towards my mother. I don’t think she would have gotten to that point.”
“She was starting to feel cold, she was pale, her mouth was purple. I called SAMU. They answered and said, ‘do some surgery, cardiac massage’ until they arrived and nothing. But then Wilma said: ‘ It takes a little while. Lot. Call the [Albert] Einstein, call the Syrian[-Libanês, dois hospitais de São Paulo]. I called them both,” continued Gabriel Costa.
“They started talking to the doctors, I started crying a lot. I heard that he was dead and I left, because I needed to breathe. I don’t know what happened, but my mother remained there, in her bed, dead, until the day she died. be carried for burial.”
Wilma Petrillo, Gal Costa’s widow, reported: “I got to the room, she looked at me with sad eyes. She was a little out of breath, you know? I said, ‘Are you okay?’ She said she was very cold. . Then I put that thermal blanket on her. She remained calm, curled up.”
“She woke up, I said, ‘Are you better?’. I know better how to live without you. When she said she was sick, when she turned over in bed, I thought she was going to vomit. I called Gabriel to turn over. “I approached her. I put my hand here, she didn’t respond, she had no pulse, “the businesswoman continued.
Gal Costa’s body was not subjected to an autopsy
Regarding not doing the autopsy, Wilma explained: “The doctor said, ‘Do you want to do the autopsy?’ Then I remembered that we had seen a program on television about the autopsy, the autopsy, and Gal said : ‘God forbid that one day I have to go away and they have to do this to me.’ Because it was a very aggressive thing. And I said, ‘I don’t want an autopsy.'”
The singer’s son highlighted his discomfort with the decision: “There was no autopsy, so there was no way of knowing if it was something deeper, something more than cardiac arrest. [Isso me levou a pedir a exumação] because I wanted to be sure that was really the case.”
Where Gal Costa is buried
Regarding the burial place of Gal Costa – another point that has raised controversy – Wilma Petrillo declared: “Because she had the citizenship of São Paulo, but not only for this, because she liked São Paulo. She liked it more than me. She was part of my family. It was part of my family. It is in a grave that belongs to my family.”
The singer’s son questions the decision, and believes that the body should be transferred to Rio de Janeiro: “It was what my mother wanted. For me [ela] NO [falou sobre o tema]. But we have thousands of people who can prove it, friends, family… she built this tomb so that she and her mother, my grandmother, could stay there. It was a promise she made to my uncle, my mother’s brother.”
The relationship between Gal Costa and Wilma Petrillo
Gabriel also explained the allegations that Wilma was not Gal Costa’s widow, but just his former manager: “Yes, they had a very short relationship. Very short. And she actually became my mother’s manager. They started to live together. But without any type of relationship other than friendship and work.”
Asked if there was a possibility that Gal didn’t want to make her relationship with her son explicit, she replied: “I don’t think so. Because they fought every day. They fought badly every day.” When asked if it was a toxic relationship, he was direct: “Yes, definitely.”
“My mother was a very good person, so she couldn’t leave Wilma because she also had nowhere to go. So Wilma stayed with us,” continued the artist’s son.
Wilma, for her part, underlined that the two “never” stopped being a couple, and that their relationship was “very” harmonious: “We almost never argued.”
Gabriel Costa also stated that Wilma asked him to call his mother only after Gal’s death: “Because she wanted me to stay close to her. [Para] have power over inheritance. Only then can she be an heir with me, so she can get a percentage of the money.”
Regarding having signed a document recognizing the stable union between them, he stated that he had acted without pressure: “He told me that he would have to take care of us, that he needed to help me, he was putting things in my head, talking about this explanation, which was a good thing. I said, ‘I’ll think about it,’ but she always rushed me, pressured me to sign.”
