Lucía Maidana: the new Big Brother eliminated tells why she chose the program to talk about her sexual orientation

This Sunday Lucía Maidana was eliminated Big Brother (at 10.30 pm, on Telefe) by public decision. The participant lost on the phone with 47.7% voting against Fury and Lysander.

Less than 48 hours after her first contact with “the outside”, Lucia spoke to her Clarion about his alleged love affairs at home, his game and the controversial sayings with which he caused a stir on social networks.

– What went through your mind when you saw how the house looked without you?

-A bit of helplessness in not being able to tell them “guys, I’m fine, I’m not sad”. It made me very sad to see them like that. I didn’t imagine they would become like this. As Santi said, it was one of the greatest deaths among all those who left. I wanted to hug Zoe and Rosi and tell them: “calm down girls, I’m fine”.

-With Rosina and Nico you always seemed very affectionate, even in greetings. Do things happen to you with either of them?

-Those who have never been there don’t understand it. But when you come in you have no affection. Yes or yes, you have to hold on to people. I am very close to Nico and Rosi, they are two people I love. It’s a friendship. When things were bad they were always there. We are very affectionate at home. A hug, a handshake, or going to bed for a nap with someone doesn’t mean you’re in love, but it made your day.

-Weren’t you worried about how your girlfriend would feel seeing you being so affectionate with them on camera?

-No, I talked to her about it a little while ago and she told me to stay calm. I was a little worried about this, but I did it all subconsciously. I knew my girlfriend trusted me a lot because we have a super healthy relationship. People paid special attention to Nico and Rosi but I always kissed and held everyone’s hand. Inside the house, right there Big BrotherWe were all very affectionate.

What was your game?

-Many people didn’t understand very well what your game was, how would you define it?

-They greatly underestimated “Las Superpoderosas” (the group he formed with Rosina and Zoe). We were actually playing and having fun at the same time. We had strategies, we knew more or less who we were voting for. Our game was at a healthier and calmer level than the others, also to keep your head in there. Because if you stay focused on the game all day in isolation, you will go crazy and want to leave.

-You were always pretty quiet, but every time you spoke you dropped a bomb. Was it part of your game or is it your personality?

-It wasn’t my game at all, it’s 100% my personality. I am a person who does not share many things, I am very solitary and reserved in my words. But when I need to talk about something, I can’t stay without doing it. I dropped a few bombs, but they were part of my life and I felt very comfortable at home talking about those things. The reality is that when you’re inside, If you feel comfortable, the body asks you to speakbecause that’s the only thing you can do.

-At one point you confessed to having stolen a camel and everything exploded. The owners even came out to talk…

-The truth is that it was a long time ago. A thousand apologies to the owners of the premises. It was a little joke, I was 16 or 17, I don’t remember. It was with some friends who said let’s do it, it was fun then, but today I wouldn’t do it again. I apologize to the camel owners. I told it because it was funny, but maybe it seemed a little bad. I saw it as a joke at the time and I clearly regret it.

Determined to break the mold

Since she entered the house, Lucia had the feeling that she would not have much support from her province. “I knew I wouldn’t be a reference for Saltabecause I am the exact opposite of what the province is,” said the now former participant, referring to his sexual choice, which he spoke openly about at home.

-At home you said that your father didn’t accept you and treated your homosexuality like an illness. But then your sister Giacinta came to deny it. Why do you think this contradiction occurred between you?

-We should see what my family says. But for the first few years I lived it as I had described it. My father is the kindest person in the world, but he is a little closed off because of his religion. He told me several times “you are sick”. I understand my sister, who definitely wanted to take care of my father. I also take care of him and love him, even though I have several problems with him. The reality was as I said, because otherwise I wouldn’t have told it that way.

-Have you already managed to talk to him?

-Not yet. They told me it’s fine, but I didn’t communicate. I think everything happens for a reason. I got into the program for a reason and I said so for a reason. I was saving it. It’s a topic I haven’t talked about much in my life. It was a great opportunity to express myself and tell my story.

-Why did you decide to tell your story?

-The people of Salta are very closed and I feel that there are many girls who are experiencing the same thing. I didn’t tell it in the role of victim. I did it so that people would become aware that it doesn’t have to be like this.
