Xuxa Meneghel recently revealed that she is in love with her son-in-law, singer João Figueiredo. The reciprocal is true. In the early hours of Saturday (15), he came out in defense of his mother-in-law about the constant attacks that the presenter suffers because of the film “Amor, Estranho Amor” (1982), by director Walter Hugo Khouri. In the production, Xuxa plays a prostitute and appears naked next to a 12-year-old boy. At the time of recording, she was 18 years old.
João made a post on Twitter comparing the works of other actors with controversial themes. “No one calls Arnold Schwarzenegger a murderer because he made a movie that kills people. Because he is an actor, but there are a lot of dumb people (who should be afraid of prosecution), but they call Xuxa a pedophile because she made a movie (before being famous), where her 15-year-old character was sold to a brothel, and had an affair with a 12-year-old boy”, began João visibly annoyed.
The gospel singer continued. “The film portrays children who are sexually exploited. Just as there are films that portray slavery, corruption, betrayal… but it doesn’t make the actors slaves, corrupt, etc. I conclude that this is obvious, and people know… but there can’t be anyone who rise up against their golden calf, which has become the target of slander and defamation,” he said.
Three days ago, Xuxa released a petition calling for the impeachment “before the inauguration” of senator-elect Damares Alves (Republicans-DF), who described alleged sexual crimes against children. The presenter was again the target of bolsonaristas because of the film. “Xuxa, the one who made a film kissing a child, totally naked, wants to ask for the impeachment of Minister Damares on the cases of pedophilia that she denounced? Oh, stop, right?”, wrote an internet user. “Xuxa contra Damares? It reminds me of the indecent movie from the 80s in which she had a relationship with a minor”, commented another.
