Cássia Kis is the next Globo veteran to lose her steady job
Cássia Kis is one of the Globo veterans who will soon lose her job. The announcer decided not to renew the actress’ contract after the end of the TV series “Travisia”, which is shown at the height of its programs.
The decision to turn off Cassia was already made even before the current TV series went on the air. The actress, who has been a ratings leader for nearly 40 years, knows that she will be without a stable job at the end of the recordings.
Although Cássia upset Globo’s management, its co-stars and a slew of art professionals by making anti-gay remarks in an interview with Leda Nagle, the dismissal had already been issued before then.
So much so that at the telenovela’s launch party, which took place a week before the premiere, Cássia told fellow reporters who were there that Travessia would say goodbye to her at Telenovelas Globo, and that she intended to retire shortly thereafter.
But it is important to stress that this decision did not come from her. Globo has drastically cut her payroll and promoted cuts to the permanent cast without the blink of an eye. Even the veterans did not deliver, as happened recently with Marietta Severo and Osmar Prado, who collect unforgettable works in network dramas.
However, they are already on the radar of some authors to participate in new productions by Globo and Globoplay. Cassia, who will soon join the team of the unemployed, will not be so lucky anymore. Although she also has an impressive track record, her recent statements have taken a heavy toll.
Plus, she’s been doing a lot of work behind the scenes of Travessia, as my friend Lucas Pasin, of UOL, expected. The actress tortured actors via WhatsApp by sending several fake political news, gave a star-studded show in the studio, and was disparaging her cast and still trying to promote prayer chains before starting recording. Real horror show.
It is important to note that the column sought Globo to comment further on the veteran’s dismissal after the end of Travessia, but the broadcaster declined to comment.
