Rodrigo’s stay in Big Brother Brasil 22 (Globo) has been difficult in the last days of reality. After only talking about gambling and scaring other prisoners, now it was his turn to mention the term “traveco” to refer to a transvestite, which caused Viny to revolt inside the house and followers outside it.
The term “traveco” became one of the most talked about topics on social networks this Friday afternoon (21). This pejorative way of referring to transsexuals and transvestites was said by him in a conversation during the night with Eliezer.
“Eli, I’m trying to sleep, but I’m remembering that naughty dick you got scared there bro,” he said. Viny corrected him immediately. “Traveco, no”, warned the brother. Maria also repudiated the comment, and Rodrigo apologized.
Many comments on the internet accused Rodrigo of homophobia. So much so that his team on Twitter apologized for the participant. “Rodrigo had an unfortunate and wrong speech this morning where he uses ‘traveco’. We came through this statement to apologize”, says an excerpt.
Linn da Quebrada’s team also took a stand. “Transvestite: identity that Linn identifies with. Traveco: a pejorative way in which we shouldn’t treat transvestites and trans women,” he posted.
On the morning of this Friday (21), Rodrigo apologized for the X-ray, saying that it was the day he learned the most from his mistake. He also reached out to Linn to apologize and ask for guidance.
