Ana Paula Renault talks about TV plans: "I want to make women feel comfortable"
Ana Paula Renault, 44, spent a hundred days being filmed for 24 hours, gained a legion of fans, won Big Brother Brasil 2026, but she's not even close to stopping there. In a conversation with CNN Brasil, behind the scenes of the debut campaign for "Rancho Dutton" on Paramount +, the journalist took stock of its impact on the public.
For her, the results of her journey - which is not close to ending - come from receiving a response from her female audience, who report how her example made them assert themselves in family relationships, at work and even in their own lives. "What I can be a little proud of is this: that my public voice is collaborating with the voices of all other women. So, we end up expanding this, becoming a unison and being stronger."
"What I really want is to make women feel comfortable", he reflects when thinking about returning to television. As a viewer, Ana Paula believes she misses content that combines good humor with information and credibility, which instigates the public to the point of generating an impact.
"It's complicated, but I think it's possible to do it. If I could align my personality, my desire to bring knowledge and entertainment to people, it would be incredible", he states as a condition. "I'm trying to find the middle path."
"I think that the more productions that show women with autonomy, intelligence, with a life of their own, even occupying the place that society expects of us, the better", she says when relating her desires to the proposal for the spin-off "Rancho Dutton", which releases weekly episodes on the platform. The plot follows Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser returning to their characters from "Yellowstone" in an attempt to make a fresh start in South Texas.
Beth Dutton (Reilly) represents precisely this type of woman who causes discomfort when exercising leadership in an environment still marked by patriarchy, even if she plays the roles of mother and wife. "Her image exudes a lot of security. And a confident woman is not something that everyone accepts very well, especially in society there, a more conservative region", assesses Ana Paula.
"Often, decisions come from her, and you have to understand that, nowadays, a large part of families are headed by women, single mothers. This force has always been there, it just wasn't recognized (...) It's obvious that it's women who are the breadwinners of the family, who make things happen", he concludes.
