Guta Stresser Calls Out Abusive Comments on Instagram About Her Appearance

Her replies highlight the stigma people with chronic illness face on social media.

Overview

  • After posting a smiling photo from a celebration in Curitiba, the actress answered users who mocked her looks and called the remarks gross and prejudiced.
  • She pushed back on a follower who wrote “didn’t recognize,” saying an actor’s ability to change is a virtue and treating the note as a compliment.
  • Supportive followers referenced her health, and she thanked them for their empathy in direct replies.
  • Stresser was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021 after first symptoms in 2020 during the TV dance segment Dança dos Famosos.
  • Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord and can cause weakness, tingling, and memory problems; she has since moved to Curitiba, noting heat makes symptoms worse.
