Thalia Twitter & Instagram: Singer Tells Followers She Was Bullied for Losing Her Father and for Being Famous
At 42 years old, Thalia has taken to running an anti-bullying campaign on her social media accounts.
She has told her followers that bullying can be so heartbreaking for a child, and she has firsthand experience with this matter. The singer and actress revealed that she was bullied when she was a child because she didn't have a father figure in her life, according to TV Notas.
Thalia's father, Ernesto Sodi Pallares, died when she was five years old.
Her classmates made fun of her because of this, and said she was the girl without a father.
"I arrived to school and I remember that the children circled me and said, 'The girl who doesn't have a father... her father died, boo-hoo,'" she said. "I remember that and it traumatized me. I was five or six years old."
Later on, the children stopped making fun of her for having lost of her father, and now laughed at her for being on TV and starting to become famous.
"When I was in secondary school, I began in the entertainment industry, and being more recognizable and a little famous, the words they used were strong," she said. "Children can be so cruel, and I suffered very much in that time."
Thalia has gotten many celebrities to take pictures with signs that read "bullying is not a game."
She recently launched an album for children, so perhaps this has reminded her about how terrible bullying can be. Of course, she is also a mother now, which changes things for her.
Thalia is now focusing on her next album, which she says will be a little sexy, according to Billboard.
"Right now, I'm recording an album," she said. "Everything is moving. We have half of it... I'm actively writing, co-writing, producing and co-producing. I'm doing everything. This album, I find, is a little bit more sexy."
The first single will be released at the end of this year, and the album should drop at the beginning of 2015.
