Rafa Kalimann Defends Documentary After Backlash Over Nattan’s Role in Late Pregnancy

Kalimann frames the series as an unvarnished look at pregnancy’s mental strain.

Overview

  • Clips from the first episode drew heavy online criticism of singer Nattan, who urged followers to watch the full program before judging.
  • Kalimann addressed the reaction Wednesday, saying she was not abandoned and explaining that Zuza’s birth was induced near 41 weeks for safety.
  • The documentary shows Kalimann battling depression and panic in late pregnancy, seeking psychiatric care and using antidepressants to function day to day.
  • The couple describe emotional distance as she felt alone while he toured and socialized, with Nattan saying he struggled to grasp her needs even when at home.
  • The four-part series on GNT was produced by Kalimann, and both say Nattan reviewed and approved the edits to present a candid, non-utopian account.
