The start of The Hotel of the Famous put the focus back on the dynamics of reality shows. And if we talk regarding this type of program, which had its explosion at the beginning of this century, it is inevitable to talk regarding Big Brother. The Dutch format that premiered in our country on the screen of Telefe, left some of the most memorable moments on television in the last twenty years and added to the entertainment staff some proper names that remained forever.
One of them is the Tamara Paganini, runner-up in the first edition and, together with Gaston Trezeguetone of the great figures of program that ended up winning Marcelo Corazza. Leaving the house, she had an unexpected shock of popularity and a meandering media journey, with its corresponding lights and shadows, until she completely withdrew from the flashes to face a new life. And to talk a little regarding all this, she was one of the guests on Thursday at BLUEthe program that drives Angel of Brito for America.
Tamara said that she entered the most famous house in the country as the great cliché of the castings. She accompanied him to her boyfriend of hers at the time, who had seen the Dutch version, and did not hesitate to sign up. But the one that remained was her, she entered an unknown world in a very different context: “At that time there was not even a phone with a camera, I was learning what an email was, there was no information”revealed the former participant, and summed up in one word what would come next: “We weren’t expecting anything that happened to us.”
Next, the woman gave some examples of what she was living at that time. “I mightn’t understand that people were running from me in the street, that they had a T-shirt with my face on it,” she admitted, and she compared the situation to twenty years ago, which in this case is everything. “People love you or hate you, but at that moment the hater I literally spit you out in the street. I used to go walking with my boyfriend and two 20-year-old girls would stop in front of me and call me ‘shitty whore,’ ” she pointed out.
To avoid these situations of harassment, Tamara said that she had to resort to a strategy. “I had to dress as a man to walk with the street. He wore a hat and a false beard. I put on a girdle and walked like a chabon so that they don’t even look at me as a woman”, he acknowledged. But there were times when the situation got out of control: “I’ve left bowling alleys with injured private parts, a nipple, my clothes have been ripped.”
To escape from these situations, he believed that he had found a solution by moving away from the big city: “I went to live in CordobaI thought that leaving the media with so many people who want to be famous was going to be easier, but I became a difficult figure and they looked for me a lot“, lament. However, out of necessity, he had to return to the environment from which he had left, since he might not get a job in another field. “I didn’t have anything to eat. So he would take a photo in Paparazzi and they called from bowling alleys”, he remembered.
But with the passage of time, Tamara was able to channel her life outside the cameras, to which she returns every so often but knowing that there is another possible path. She has been working for eight years in a highly complex laboratory and allows himself to look at his experience in the most famous house in the country from a different perspective. “I’m just now healing. It took me 20 years and all this time from therapy to therapy,” she admitted.
