With criticism of the Brazilian actress’ appearance, Mercedes Cordero and colleagues Victoria Casaurang and Paula Galloni said that not even Fernanda believed in winning the Golden Globe
Argentine presenter Mercedes Cordero found herself at the center of a controversy after making offensive comments about the actress on her television program “ Vamos las Chicas ”. She and colleagues Victoria Casaurang and Paula Galloni said that not even the Brazilian believed she would win. “I was so convinced I wasn’t going to win that I didn’t even get my hair done for the awards,” said Victoria. After the negative repercussion, Cordero decided to speak out, claiming that the reactions he received on social media were exaggerated and disproportionate.
In her defense, Mercedes highlighted that her intention was not to belittle Fernanda’s career, but just to make a joke about her hairstyle. She expressed that the attacks she has been suffering are not only offensive, but also threatening, which made her feel uncomfortable with the situation. “A joke about an artist’s hairstyle does not disqualify her. There’s an entire country attacking me, threatening me. I never referred to her in professional terms, I didn’t make fun of her. Receiving a ton of insults is disproportionate.”
Cordero’s comments, which were made in jest, generated a wave of indignation among the actress’s Brazilian fans. Presenter Tatá Werneck, for example, expressed her dissatisfaction on social media, questioning Mercedes’ “courage” in criticizing Fernanda so directly.
