Cleo Pires is today's guest on the "Pode Ask?" Actress and singer Cleo Pires opened up space to talk about some of the most delicate moments in her personal life during her participation in Pode Askar. In a conversation led by autistic people, she answered questions about binge eating, sexuality, family in a chat marked by reflections and sincere reports. One of the most moving moments of the interview happened when Cleo talked about binge eating. She said that she has lived with the disorder since a very early age, but only managed to understand what was happening after she was 30 years old. "I think I've had compulsion my whole life. And I discovered what compulsion was after I was 30." According to the actress, the treatment was built in several stages, with medical monitoring, medication, therapy and behavioral changes. "It was a profound work. To this day I always have to keep an eye on it." 'I thought it would be liberating' When answering a question about the decision to speak publicly about her own sexuality, Cleo stated that she believed she was helping other women by treating the topic naturally. Over time, however, he realized that part of the public reacted differently. "I thought that talking openly about what was natural for me would be liberating. But we live in a very prejudiced and sexist society." She said that the exposure ended up having the opposite effect to what was expected. "People, instead of it becoming a cool thing, tried to reduce me." According to Cleo, this had an impact on both her career and her emotional life. "Many men approached me with the wrong ideas, confusing things." Relationship with Fábio Jr. and Orlando Morais There was also space to talk about family. When asked what she admired most about Fábio Jr., her biological father, and Orlando Morais, who raised her, Cleo highlighted different characteristics of each one. About Fábio Jr., she said she admires the authenticity. "He was him no matter what. He always made that impression on me, and that's something I wanted to achieve." When talking about Orlando Morais, he highlighted the way he sees the world. "He has a very innovative vision, very free, very loving, very human. It's something I've always admired." At another point in the interview, Cleo commented on the controversy surrounding calling Orlando her father and stated that she could never understand why this generated public debate. According to her, Orlando helped fill in the gaps left by the absence of her biological father. "He was always a very loving guy. I think he also showed me that there are nice men."
