Karina Bacchi is criticized for condemning Giovanna Ewbank’s reaction to racism

Karina Bacchi, 45, is once again causing the internet. Without naming names, the presenter made a criticism that seemed directed at Giovanna Ewbank, 35, for defending her children Titi and Bless from racist attacks by a white woman in Portugal, at the end of last month.

“This week I was talking to friends. There was a case that appeared in the media of a mother who seems to have her children prejudiced,” she said on the Positiva podcast. “She, to defend her children, cursed that person a lot, spat, hit and everyone in favor of that person. ‘Wow, that’s great! She did little because a lioness mother does that, she has to do it to defend her son’. “

“I agree that we have to defend our children, but I don’t believe that the defense is in spitting, cursing, hitting, attacking and the people thinking that the person did little”, he continued. “I think we have to defend our children, but what example are we setting in our reactions, in the way we react? So, the world is applauding this and thinking it’s great. This shocks me too.”

Positivaly is presented by Karina and, this week, received Cris Poli (Supernanny) as a guest. In the episode’s description, it is stated that the chat “will undoubtedly make all the difference in the lives of countless positive families”. “Full of good reflections on creation, references and generational conflicts, the meeting addresses themes that, without a doubt, many people have never thought about”, says the text.

The comments received harsh criticism on the internet. Giovanna Ewbank did not comment on the matter, as well as her husband, actor Bruno Gagliasso.

The case of racism took place at the Clássico Beach Club restaurant, in Costa da Caparica, Portugal, on July 30th. Giovanna and Bruno were there with their children, who were playing on the beach, and realized what had happened when one of the children told the story.

Bruno says he saw the manager asking a woman to leave, and then the couple heard her refusing to leave and saying racial insults, such as “filthy blacks”, “go back to Africa”, “go back to Brazil” and “Portugal is no place for you.” The actor immediately called the police, while Giovanna yelled at the woman.
