In 2021, Prime Video released a new musical adaptation of the classic “Cinderella” starring Camila Cabello.
The reimagining even brought in Billy Porter as the Fairy Godmother. More than a year later, the production attracted the attention of prejudiced and conservative celebrities who criticized the film because Porter starred in it.
The comments began when actor Carlos Vereza posted a video saying Porter’s casting as the fairy godmother is a continuing attempt by Hollywood to “destroy the sexuality of children.” It didn’t take long for another conservative actress and bolsonarist, Regina Duarte, to share the video and share the same sentiment as her former Globo colleague.
Duarte made the post on his social media and wrote, “Help moms and dads. Aunts and uncles, grandparents, parents in general, true Brazilian childhood friends: Disney’s Cinderella [sic] threatens the values of our children! “.
Have fun watching:
In another post, Duarte wrote: “thanks for the alert, Vereza! You’re absolutely right. We have to protect (sic) our children”.
Internet users were quick to take a stand against the words of the former actress, accusing her of homophobia.

The only good thing about this movie is that fairy godfather, the rest of the movie I didn’t like, but hey, that’s my opinion. Regina Duarte is just a layman.

Conservative logic: this one, which has nothing to do with the old fairy, but is white and “straight”, can // this one not because she “doesn’t look like” the fairy in the drawing pic.twitter. com/hTZP3cIJ9m

I find it very funny that Regina Duarte remembers her opinions and prejudices and goes out into the public to speak. .. Too bad she never remembered the lines from the NOVEL, she opened the point to remember the lines 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ even Jade Picon decorates the text
