That fatphobia exists is true but that Norma Duval subscribes to it is more than doubtful. The artist, the legendary first figure of the Folies Bergère theater in Paris, has been a paradigm of inclusion since we have known her and refuses to be involved in a controversy that hurts her because it is unfair: in a recent press conference a reporter pointed out that there was a lack of diversity in the selection of the 16 dancers from TVE's new talent, Dance as you can.
However, in this cast we find parity between sexes, nationalities from the five continents and a notable contrast in physiognomies. Where does the obstacle lie? In that there is no prototype of a “chubby” person. The matter spread on the networks and both the program (to be released) and its biggest star have been forced to face a controversy with little foundation.
As this newspaper has learned from sources present at the press conference, the fuse has been lit in a completely unfounded way. Norma Duval, colleagues present there explain to La Vanguardia, stood up and invited those selected to appear before the media to show how unfounded the accusation was. However, it was considered at that time that it was not appropriate to fuel any controversy before releasing the program. This is the statement that Norma has just posted in a 'stories' on her Instagram profile.
