Felipe Neto, 34, is another famous person who decided to comment on the confusion involving Samantha Schmütz and Juliette Freire. But the youtuber chose to take a stand in the opposite direction of most celebrities and came out in defense of the actress, after the repercussion of the controversy over the “BBB 22” champion being considered an artist or not.
“I love Samantha Schmütz and, from the bottom of my heart, for a person that I admire a lot and like a lot and who I’ve exchanged ideas with a few times and is a love of person… It wasn’t cool Sam! that it is not up to us to say what art is”, begins Felipe in the video published on his social network this Tuesday (17).
“Because she asked, ‘Oh, is Juliette an artist?’ meaning Juliette wasn’t an artist. Just as funk has been mocked, belittled, and demoted as a ‘non-art’ for decades, you might be doing the same thing. It’s not up to us to say what art is or not because we think it’s good or bad, and from the moment Juliette sings and earns money from it, she’s a professional artist, period. he said.
Felipe also asked that his followers do not continue to feed the hatred of the actress on social networks. “Everything is art. Juliette is art. And reduce the hate, Samantha is a wonderful human being and prone to mistakes like all of us”, he added in the publication’s caption.
The case began when Juliette Freire was present among the guests of the Globo show Altas Horas last Saturday (14). Justifying political manifestations by artists, the singer said that she felt an obligation to participate in everything that is reflected in society. On Twitter, Schmütz wrote “I think it’s great that she takes a stand, but is she an artist?” and then deleted the post.
In response to the actress, who is in Cannes, France, the former BBB wrote this Tuesday (17) that “art embraces, enchants, excites and transcends any label. Being an artist is something so beautiful and bigger than all that… It’s touching the other with the best in you, it’s donation, it’s love, it’s true”, said Juliette, who added: “So, yes, I am an artist and a learner of many things”
