Vanessa Mai wears what she likes – she is often attacked online for that. With strong words, the pop singer is now demanding equality.
Backnang – Vanessa Mai (30) usually only raises her voice when she performs one of her many hits (“Cloud 7”, “I die for you”). Here and there, Andrea Berg’s daughter-in-law (57) also uses her fame to use clear words to fight sexism or bullying. This is also the case on International Women’s Day (March 8, 2022).
Vanessa Mai finds clear words – pop singer defends herself against hostilities on the net
Not only vocally, but also fashionably, Vanessa Mai plays at the top of German hits. The 30-year-old with Croatian roots (born as Vanessa Marija Else Mandekić) has a penchant for airy looks: regardless of whether it’s summer dresses, hot pants, bandeaus or bikinis. But of all things, something as harmless as your own taste in fashion brings the “Wolke 7” interpreter here and there pejorative hostilities.
However, the pop singer does not want to let that sit on her: Under a photo that shows her in a white, backless tank top, she takes a clear position on Instagram against the hurtful and superficial criticism that she repeatedly gets because of her clothing style. “For me, freedom of movement also means empowerment,” explains Vanessa Mai, adding: “You don’t have to dress lightly to be perceived as a strong woman. But if you like to dress sexy, it also doesn’t say anything about my soul, my morals, my talent and what I ‘need’ to be out of.”
No “bitch” because of an outfit – hit star Vanessa Mai criticizes prejudices
Your request is clear: Women should decide for themselves what they wear – regardless of what outfit it is. “Does the jogging suit make me a slob or does the bikini make me a slut?” she asks rhetorically. “Is it a contradiction? Because it doesn’t seem to work either way. And it’s incomprehensible to me that we still have to have these conversations, over and over again, year after year,” the 30-year-old continued.
The singer also commented on the subject of “envy among women”: “Women have been taught for years and generations to watch each other with eagle eyes and to be careful that [ihnen] another woman does not dispute the small piece of the cake. ”Vanessa Mai demands that this change in the future. Other hit stars are currently causing a stir: Eva Luginger (35) is said to have hit on Stefan Mross (47) for a long time – much to the annoyance of Anna-Carina (30).
