The team that manages Jacques Costa’s Instagram page, a competitor in the current edition of Big Brotherfrom TVI, issued a new statement, this Monday night, on social media.
“Dear followers, in the midst of all the hateful messages we have been receiving, messages of support and concern have also reached us. This statement serves to clarify some of the concerns that have been raised regarding Jacques’ stance on the game“, reads at the beginning of the note.
“The Jacques that his friends and family know is a happy, charismatic, humble and empathetic person. Unfortunately, that is not what has happened beyond the screen. It is important to recognize that, although the topics covered by Jacques are extremely important, the program may not be the best space to present these issues. There were several reasons that led the 20 contestants to participate in the program and we know that the reason that led our Jacques to compete was the opportunity to promote empathy and awareness of these same topics“, he adds.
“As a person interested in debating issues of importance to society, Jacques is always willing to listen to other people’s opinions, even if they don’t agree with her own. Because only then can we open up space for debate. At this time, we wanted to ask you to join us in sending Jacques love and support. We will strive to create an environment of respect and empathy, both inside and outside the Big Brother house“, he concludes, by way of appeal.
