I want to thank and congratulate Oprah's team! Today we saw Oprah's around the world show in Brazil, amongst other countries.
Few years ago you did a similar show that displayed Brazil through the life of Andrea Garcia that is the wife of a very rich and famous actor in Brazil: Marcio Garcia. That woman was portrayed in the show as a middle class average mom.
I wrote an email to you saying that that was just not right, she could not represent middle class mom at all.
And I suggested that you should have filmed her maid's home to disclose the contrast between rich and poor here.
I guess more people must have had the same opinion at that time, because finally you corrected that mistake to eyes of people world wide. Your network is one of the most powerful and loved in the world. People gives great credit to Harpo, you have to be accurate.
I was grateful and touched when you showed Aline, a real middle class mom, her small yet very well decorated apartment and her poor housekeeper's house in the slum. And that was a pretty neat slum to say the least.
Thank you for showing to the world reality as it really is here in Rio de Janeiro. Thank you for remembering our emails after such long time we sent it. You're the best!
We are very happy that Oprah accepted our Mayor's invitation to come to the Olympic Games, for it will be such a joy to have her and all her team here in this beautiful event! We promise everybody will just love Rio de Janeiro!
Send Oprah my love and admiration!
