RIO DE JANEIRO, RJ (FOLHAPRESS) - Days after returning to the center of a controversy involving her ex-husband, Whindersson Nunes, Luísa Sonza, 27, used social media to make a long outburst about misogyny, cancellation and how women are treated when they are in the spotlight. The singer stated that, over the last ten years of her career, she has learned that famous women are often cast in the role of villains, regardless of their efforts.

"One thing I've learned from being a public figure in these ten years, being a woman, is that you will try to destroy a woman's life and make her the villain, even if she does everything she can to be the best person in the world," she said.

According to the artist, the pressure to undermine the female image does not just come from men. She said she believes that many women also end up repeating this behavior for fear of becoming the next target of attacks.

"They want to distance themselves from these cancellations and the destruction of careers, often for the simple fact of being a woman," she declared. "I'm not a saint, I've had a lot of mistakes in my life, but I've done so much more than any man would do."

Luísa also stated that she stopped worrying about public judgments and criticized men who, according to her, feel free to condemn their attitudes. "He didn't do 1% of all the things I did, including my mistakes and my successes."

In the report, the singer said she believes she will continue to be the target of criticism throughout her life. "I'm going to be torn apart until the day I die. No matter what you do, you're going to be hunted until you die. And maybe even after that."

She also encouraged other women not to shape their behavior in search of acceptance. "There's no point trying to join the ball club, trying to be nice and chasing after your mistakes to be a better person. I stopped being afraid. There's no point in being afraid of something that's going to happen."

TikTok Video A cancellation, whether of a public woman or not, is ALWAYS disproportionate. When commenting on the debate on gender violence, Luísa drew attention to the fact that misogyny is not classified as a crime in Brazil. "Misogyny is not a crime yet. A woman has no right to talk about anything, about her life, about her body," he said.

The singer ended the outburst by asking women to support each other, instead of reinforcing attack campaigns. "I don't cancel a woman in any circle. In the queue, there are a lot of people passing through unharmed precisely because they are men."

The statement came a few days after Whindersson Nunes was criticized for a joke interpreted by internet users as a reference to the turbulent period Luísa experienced after the end of her marriage. Then, fans noticed that the singer stopped following the comedian on Instagram, while he kept her profile among the accounts he followed. The artist also published a message seen by followers as an indirect message to her ex-husband.
