The humorist said he even made fun of the singer’s illness, but not about his death, and that he even sent a message to the profile of Preta on Instagram when he learned of the diagnosis
The humorist used his YouTube channel on Sunday (27), to say that he has never made jokes directly about the death of Preta Gil and that he no longer intends to make jokes involving the singer, who died last Sunday (20). Without directly citing what stories he refers, the comedian criticized part of the press: “They took a news from a month ago, made very unfair and dishonest, about jokes written two years ago, now publish notes saying that I am making jokes about the death of Preta Gil, even assigning me the sentence, saying that I said: ‘ About the death of. ”
He then said that he even made humor with the singer’s illness, but not about her death: “I know they’ll say, ‘Oh, you didn’t talk about death, but you’ve spoken of cancer, she’s died, too wrong…’. ‘He wrote the joke two years ago, but she couldn’t…’.
In June, when Preta Gil was still alive, a report from the newspaper O Globo indicated that Leo Lins quoted Preta Gil in the first show made by the comedian after his conviction to prison. The presentation took place at the Gazeta Theater, in São Paulo, in front of 720 people. At the time, according to the newspaper, he would have done the following joke: “Preta Gil came to sue me because of a joke from years ago. Three months after the process arrived, she appeared with cancer. Well, it looks like God has a favorite. I think he liked the joke. And at least she will lose weight.”
Léo Lins says he won’t make jokes with black gil anymore
In her YouTube video, Leo Lins continued: “I take the opportunity to say that I no longer do the jokes (on the subject). Because they were about the process. As there is no more process, there is no more why to continue with the jokes.” The humorist also shared Print Screen with a message that would have sent Preta Gil’s profile on Instagram, but was not answered or viewed, dated March 10, 2023, just after she was diagnosed with cancer: “I just saw a news about your health. I know your improvements.
Léo Lins, finally, wished the singer’s family forces. “My feelings to all of you. I’m sure they are going through a difficult time. Especially you who have followed as closely how much she fought against this cancer. I leave my sincere feelings.” “I say goodbye with a joke. For you who are my fans, and made for you who don’t like me. Rest assured: Black Gil won’t find me and hear my jokes anymore, because she’s in heaven, and I’m going to hell,” he concluded.
