A supporter of humanitarian causes especially favorable to those who live on the street, Father Júlio Lancellotti criticized a garment worn by presenter Marcos Mion. After sharing news that the sneakers worn by Mion at the Caldeirão would cost R$80,000, he called it “inequality”.
“It causes sadness so much inequality”, he wrote when tagging the Globo presenter himself in the post. However, minutes later Mion denied the information that his shoes would cost so much and gave an answer to the priest.
“Dear Father Júlio, I need to make it clear that this news wants to have exactly that effect: shock. I didn’t pay and I would never pay that amount for a sneaker. There is a market of overvaluation of sneakers like any other product, but I’m not part of it “Mion began.
“These shoes that I have, which reach these values in this parallel market, either I won from the brand or bought in the store, at the launch, paying the market value. I am 100% aware of my privileged place and for that reason I take as an obligation to help others, as I have already done, for example, donating and also publicizing their causes”, he amended, who also said he was at the priest’s disposal.
After everything was clarified, Father Júlio made a new post praising the presenter’s response and thanking him for his words. “United in the fight for the weak and discarded. Daily coexistence with the poorest hurts us too much. Every day I see the marked feet of so many who even work and don’t even get a slipper. God keep us and Mary too”, he wrote.
In August 2021, before stepping on Globo for the first time, Mion showed in her Stories the suitcase she set aside for her first trip to Globo, already as an employee. “It’s not just any bag, I’m packing the clothes that I’m going to enter Projac, record Tatá and participate in ‘Fatimona’, on Friday”, said the presenter.
“I’m going to take a selfie with her, it’s going to be cardboard,” continued Mion, referring to the program Encontro com Fátima Bernardes (Globo). The artist then began to show the sneakers he would use to step foot in the station’s studios for the first time.
“Sneakerheads, I know you’ve always thought about when I would wear my ‘Red October’, and I found the occasion: the first time I enter Globo Studios, Projac. I’m going to put these sneakers on to enter with morals” , he said.
