São Paulo

Excited, Astrid Fontenelle announced this Wednesday (29) her departure from Saia Justa (GNT). The presenter premieres this Thursday (30) the new season of Arrivals and Departures on GNT (the program is also shown on Fantástico, on Globo) and is preparing for an authorial project in 2024.

“The time has come to say goodbye, see you soon, goodbye to Saia Justa. It’s been 11 years here on this couch,” he said.

During this period, Astrid presented 528 programs and discussed around 1,500 topics. She cried when remembering the months in which she went to the studio with few people and without her couch mates, during the most serious phase of the pandemic.

“It was a lot. A lot of philosophy, a lot of Harvard research, a lot of quotes, a lot of crying, a lot of emotions, a lot of confessions, a lot of revelations and a lot of help,” he recalled.

The anchor cited the collaboration of the directors and other employees and thanked everyone, mentioning the names of all the women who have been part of the program. He also said that parting is not easy and thanked the public especially.

“There is no certainty about what time is. But I gave my time. That time was good, it was very valuable.”

Singer and actress Larissa Luz also announced her departure from Saia Justa. Crying, she said she will dedicate herself to her artistic career. A new album is expected to be released, with a tour.

“I take learning, I take gratitude, being sure that I was whole and gave the best of myself.”

Larissa said that she felt honored and loved on the streets, when she heard praise from people for her participation in the debates.

The two will still be on the couch next Wednesday, when Angélica will be the special guest. And on December 13th, a farewell program will be aired. On the 20th and 27th, two episodes will be re-aired with the current lineup.

Gabriela Prioli and Bela Gil remain on the attraction in 2024.

On air for 21 years, Saia Justa has cast renewal and diversity of ideas as part of its history.

On social media, Astrid was praised after announcing her departure.

“I saw Astrid help a lot of people over the decades. Mutual friends, people we work with, people who crossed her path by chance and, finally, me”, commented journalist Barbara Gancia, who was already part of the program.

“I wasn’t prepared for this news. Congratulations and good luck, Astrid”, said presenter Fernanda Lima.

“You will always be the soul of this program”, stated former deputy Jean Wyllys (now in the PT, ex-PSOL).
