In an interview, Gloria Maria told details about the report in Jamaica that became a meme: ‘I don’t smoke or cigarettes’

Gloria Maria, who died this Thursday (2), threw herself headlong into her guidelines. The journalist did not shy away from sharing her experiences with the public. In 2016, in a report in Jamaica for “Globo Repórter”, she participated in a ritual in which she tried “ganja”, an herb compared to marijuana, and took a test drive on a roller coaster. The reporter’s reaction to the situations was liked by netizens and became a meme. In an interview with EXTRA, she told a detail about the report that many people may not know.

“I don’t even smoke cigarettes. That report in Jamaica that had repercussions was a job, I had to sign a commitment to participate in the ritual. But, thank God, I don’t smoke. I’m terrible, but I’m not a smoker,” she said. .

The article with Gloria was about “Roberto Carlos — Emotions in Jerusalem”, a 3D concert by the King recorded in Terra Santa in 2011 and presented by her. For so much intimacy with Roberto, she revealed, through ten titles of the King’s songs, details of his life. Check out:

‘Perfect love’: “Love is love. You don’t classify it as perfect or imperfect, good or bad. I already had many loves. But I’m not talking about that.”

‘How great is my love for you’: “Oh, for my daughters. I always sang this song to them, since they were babies. It was Laura and Maria’s lullaby”.

‘Emotions’: “I don’t cry easily. When I lived through it all (the brain tumor), I didn’t shed a tear, I’m not one to victimize myself. Now, my emotions, I live them and keep them with me forever. It’s like Roberto says: ‘Whether I cried or smiled, the important thing is what emotions I experienced’. And I’m sorry, my life is made only of emotions”.

‘Smoking is prohibited’: “I don’t even smoke cigarettes! That report in Jamaica that had repercussions was a job, I had to sign a term of commitment to participate in the ritual (the journalist smoked marijuana for an article by “Globo reporter”, in 2016). But, thank God, I don’t smoke”.

‘I’m terrible’: “Oh, I’m really terrible! Much more than you can imagine. I am rebellious, I am indomitable… But I am free, and I intend to die like this. I’m not even there for internet cancellation. I’m not from that era. This kind of thing that happens nowadays doesn’t affect me. I’m from another time, from another planet. Cancellation is not part of my show.”

‘Break-up party’: “The 2000 New Year’s Eve, which I gave with Narcisa (Tamborindeguy) was really a smashing party. We shook Rio de Janeiro. There never was a party like that and there never will be, for sure!”

‘Proposal’: “Indecorous proposal, they never made me. But bold, yes, and I loved them all! But these we don’t count, we accept and keep”.

‘They want to break up with me’: “I don’t care about bad vibes, because I’m surrounded by good ones. Envy usually hits those who are envious. That kind of feeling was never part of my life. And if they wished me evil, it never came to me”.

‘If you think’: “… that I’m not going to get out of this, sorry, love, but I already got out (laughs)”.

‘I just want (A million friends)’: “I may have a million acquaintances, but friends are few and far between. I don’t have and I don’t think I want to have that many”.
