Actress Cleo Pires Talks Public Disclosure of Her Sexuality on Fantástico

Brazilian actress Cleo Pires appeared in the "Pode Perguntar" segment of the TV program Fantástico, where she was interviewed by a panel of autistic interviewers. She explained that she had hoped speaking openly about her own sexuality would be liberating for women, but the public reaction was different from what she expected. Pires criticised the double standard that praises women as objects of desire while condemning them for expressing desire, describing society as "reductive, prejudiced and sexist."

During the conversation she recalled personal moments, including supporting her brother Fiuk during his stint on Big Brother Brasil, reconnecting with her biological father Fábio Jr., and reminiscing about being a fan of Xuxa as a child. The interview concluded with a heartfelt tribute from the interviewers, which Pires accepted with gratitude.
