Dealing with her biography, Roberta Miranda talks about sexuality: ‘I eat everything’

Roberta Miranda, 66, was anxiously awaiting the phone call from F5 last Wednesday (8). She answered the call on the second ring and confessed: she wanted to talk and laugh a little to ease the tension of going to the dentist right after the interview.

“Who schedules a root canal treatment on Women’s Day? Explain? A festive day, and there I go to suffer”, jokes the singer, one of the pioneers in the sertanejo universe after Inezita Barroso and Irmãs Galvão, and owner of a fan club mostly female, who go crazy in their presentations.

The artist from Paraíba has the name Maria on her certificate (“Roberta is much stronger, right?”) and is writing a biography “full of truths” and stories that, according to her, were only told in therapy sessions. There are 26 years of analysis, essential to help her understand herself and feel better in the face of the difficulties she says she has gone through since adolescence. “I’m getting rid of the many ties that life has placed on me”.

Among the bars he faced, he remembers a specifically tough phase, in a hostile environment, which will be highlighted in the book. “When I left home to pursue my dreams, I ended up sleeping in buildings. Imagine a pure 14-year-old girl having to deal with drunk men at night? conclusions”, he says, without going into further detail.

With 37 years of a career that started in samba and without the support of her family, she says that she was very “humiliated and trampled on” at the beginning of her trajectory. This is the main reason why she thinks twice before accepting partnership invitations with successful artists. If Susana Vieira already said that she doesn’t have patience with who she’s starting out with, Roberta is the opposite. “I prefer to work with a person who has a dream than with someone who has already achieved one. My fight stuck in my mind”, she comments.

The singer assumes a certain resentment with the sertanejos and considers herself more prestigious among artists from other musical genres, such as MPB. “They have much more respect for me and for my trajectory. They applaud me more, praise me, and that’s a fact”. The reason for some disdain on the part of colleagues is on the tip of the tongue. “Honestly? I think there’s an insecurity going on, a shit sexism. And I don’t care”.

She misses the time when music artists talked and met, without the need for intermediaries. “There is no greater proximity due to professional and personal commitments. I understand. I just don’t talk to a producer or an agent. Artists talk to artists. If a colleague asks me to talk to a producer, I say thank you and say no. The language of the artist is understood by another artist”, he says, soon adding a story that involves Marília Mendonça.

“When I met Marília, identification was immediate. She cried, I cried, and we promised to do something together. But that didn’t happen because I never spoke to her again. I couldn’t reach her anymore because they shielded Marília. It’s a shame”.

Politics is a subject that interests her, and she does not rule out the possibility of running for office one day. Invitations abound. “Four presidents of political parties have already called me, they wanted me to join. I asked fans and friends and I was advised against it. I let it go. But, deep down, this idea of ​​contributing more to society moves me. , announces.

If that happens, one of your flags will be the defense of women’s rights. For now, she is using the strength of her networks (almost six million followers on Instagram alone) to denounce crimes of femicide and sexual violence. “My form of protest is to go there and put the stick in the scoundrel. I also don’t stop taking a stand in favor of stricter laws like chemical castration, for example”.

Recently, the singer revealed that she had dated a transvestite in her teens and said that she considers herself ‘trisexual’. To the F5, does not hide his sexual appetite. “I eat everything and I don’t feel like it,” she says, in a half-serious, half-joking tone. Having had sex with whomever she wanted and when she felt like it does not mean that Roberta exposes her love life, on the contrary. “I got married twice and nobody knew. I dated a lot and nobody knew the person’s name either. I’m very discreet”.
