Marlene Mattos confronts Xuxa in documentary: ‘I used you to make other people puppets’

by

Presenter Xuxa Meneghel spoke to Fantástico this Sunday (9) about the documentary “Xuxa, O Documentário” and how it was to meet former businesswoman Marlene Mattos in the filming. In one of the unpublished excerpts shown by the journalistic program, Marlene confronts the queen of the short ones about the accusations that they exchanged in the last decade.

“I was right a lot more than I was wrong. The world is not what you want it to be”, says Marlene. “We have to act realistically. You claim to be a puppet in my hand… I used you to make puppets of other people.”

Still in the documentary, Xuxa is scared and says: “I’m afraid to say: ‘What a monster this woman'”. “Your fans already see me like this”, counters the former partner of work.

At Fantástico, the presenter was thrilled. “That shocked me, that attitude, it marked the documentary too much. It was profound, because it touched a little box… not that I didn’t want to, but I had to go through it.”

OTHER SURPRISES

“Xuxa, O Documentário” premieres next Thursday (13), on Globoplay, and revisits other controversies in the presenter’s life. “”There will be a lot of things, because it was a surprise for me, what I experienced there. They will discover me as I discovered myself. It’s not to honor me, but to show what I’ve been through”, guarantees Xuxa.

In addition to Marlene Matos, the blonde meets actor Marcelo Ribeiro, in the documentary series, with whom she starred in “Amor Estranho Amor”, from 1982. Despite having a small role, Xuxa was attacked at the time because the feature was accused of pornography .” I was quite moved by what he [Marcelo] talked about, that people closed doors for him because of the work he did with me.”

Another point portrayed by the material, which will be released in five weekly episodes, is about the abuse that Xuxa suffered at the beginning of her career. She says they spoke of “call girl, about to shake hands with a bundle of money”. “Harassment was normal, as a model and woman, since I was getting to know myself, discovering myself. My head was in a knot. I became a sex symbol without ever having sex”, she adds.

About the material as a whole and the relationship with the fans, Xuxa does not see herself on a great pedestal. “[O documentário] it will be very important for them to see me differently. I saw myself differently. After I saw the whole doc, I said: ‘Damn, I’ve lived through all of this, conquered all of this, I am all of this, it’s strong, it’s very strong’.”
