Actor Guilherme Winter has taken to Instagram to address a recent controversy surrounding his name, stemming from comments made by his ex-partner, Giselle Itié. During an episode of the podcast ‘Exaustas,’ Itié, alongside actresses Samara Felippo and Carolinie Figueiredo, candidly discussed her sexual experiences during her pregnancy. In the episode, Itié revealed that her son, Pedro, was conceived after she and Winter rekindled their relationship. However, she alleged that Winter expressed feelings of disgust towards her body during that time, stating, “He felt a lot of disgust for my body, he said that, he felt disgusted by some smell that exuded.”
The statement quickly gained traction on social media, prompting Winter to issue a public response. He stated: “I would like to speak out about a recent lie that has been circulating about my life. This statement is just another untruth that does not reflect reality. I have never come to social media to complain about the misfortunes I have suffered/suffer or the countless lies told there; such as being a single mother. I lead my life with discretion and respect, especially in relation to my son. My concern has always been and always will be his well-being.”
Winter continued: “I strive to be an exemplary father, offering good examples and being present in his life. What really matters is that my son will grow up and form his own conclusions, based on his experiences and life experiences. I am proud of what I have been building and the role I play in his life. I thank everyone who really knows me and knows the truth.”
In the same podcast episode, Itié also discussed the pressures placed upon women to maintain a sense of ‘chastity’ during pregnancy, highlighting the need for open conversations about female sexuality and the complexities of navigating relationships during this time. The actresses highlighted the lack of support and understanding women often face in their sexual lives, particularly when pregnant.
While Winter’s statement denies Itié’s allegations, the controversy underscores the ongoing discussion about public figures and the way their personal lives are scrutinized in the media. The incident also sheds light on the complex dynamics of relationships, particularly during pregnancy and the aftermath of separation.
