Isabel Macedo had to address a sad controversy last year regarding comments made about her youngest daughter, Julia’s weight. She shared photos of Julia, who was 7 months old at the time, and received unpleasant messages about the baby’s weight. Reflecting on the incident as a guest at Mirtha Legrand’s table, Isabel mentioned that social media has the power to both connect people and allow for hurtful comments.
Despite the negative comments, Isabel remained composed and focused on raising her daughters with love and empathy. She emphasized the importance of seeing beyond physical appearances and valuing people for their souls. Isabel expressed gratitude for the support she received and called for a kinder world where negativity is disregarded.
In response to the controversy, Isabel posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, defending her daughter’s right to be loved and accepted as she is. She also appeared on a television show with her husband to discuss the pressure on bodies, even in childhood, and the impact of social media on self-esteem and mental health.
Isabel highlighted the need for greater awareness and sensitivity towards body image issues, especially among young girls and adolescents. She chose to respond with love and compassion, rejecting anger and negativity in favor of a more positive and understanding approach.
