Samara Felippo reported this Friday (14) on social networks about an unpleasant episode that happened recently during a flight from Spain to Portugal. The actress said she called a Brazilian passenger a racist after the woman criticized the choice of black actresses to star in several soap operas.

Interpreting the character Celina from the soap opera Chocolate com Pimenta (2003), which was recently shown again on Globo, Samara replied to the woman, “That’s good, isn’t it!? And it’s very necessary ma’am,” she continued, “Oh no, I see. Not that I…” Samara recalled, noticing her face turning red before replying to the second comment. “,You are that!!!’ Racist! “Certainly, and I think there will be more and more black people on TV,” he added.

The actress also recalled that there was an initial sense of uneasiness among the passengers watching the scene. The passenger’s daughter then cut in midconversation and apologized. She commented on going close but wasted no time: “Tell your mother I have two black daughters. Thanks to these black people, who are increasingly appearing in soap operas, they feel that they belong and are represented,” concluded Samara, who reposted a picture with the cast of “Malhação”. She covered the face of Mário Frias, former culture minister in the Bolsonaro government and former conspiracy collaborator, with a clown emoji.

Samara is the mother of two girls, Alicia and Lara, from her relationship with former basketball player Leandrinho Barbosa. In the comments, followers sent messages of support. “Unfortunately, some people are still proud of that thought. They are racist and arrogant,” commented one fan. “The fight against racists is long and hard,” added another follower.
