“Finally, the topic It’s not what you wear, it’s that they want to do shit to you (sic),” Contador added. The television face recalled an uncomfortable situation that he experienced years ago in a taxi: the driver of the vehicle told him “your legs are very chubby“.

The comedian also referred to a moment that was quite painful for her. Years ago, a newspaper headlined the cover with the following phrase: “Javiera Contador: I feel good, but I dress badly”. Faced with this, the comedian said that she had had a terrible time: it made her insecure to the point of not knowing what to wear to work.

“I didn’t want to go (to work). I really didn’t know what to wear. Crying, ‘what should I wear?’, I started dressing in something like blue, something neutral, so that it wouldn’t be a theme, but it was still a theme,” said the entertainer.

“Now it makes me laugh… When this happened, I had a terrible time.. I’m telling you now because it doesn’t happen to me now, but In that minute I had a very bad time, I cried a lot, I didn’t want to go to the canal, I didn’t know what to wear“, revealed the presenter.
