Extremely harsh outburst from Melissa Satta who denounces how, at the end of a very difficult year for her, she was defined by some media, mostly British, "with the aim of making the news tastier" about the end of her relationship with the tennis player Matteo Berettini "in a shocking way", even with titles like "sex addict", an unfair definition which "deeply tears" her.
"Psychological violence - she says - is as serious as physical violence".
"For a year I took buckets of shit for my relationship that just ended", he continues, and "now that it has come to an end I once again have to suffer these things. And I find it unacceptable. Now I will take serious action with my lawyers."
Satta recalls that before being a public figure, she is a woman and the mother of a 10-year-old child, born from her relationship with Kevin Prince Boateng, "who goes to school and has friends with whom he talks".
"I don't want to exploit sexism - he explains - nor do I want to give in to the easy temptation of recalling news stories which daily see women suffer the unhealthy gestures of some disturbed mind, but I believe that it is time for the press to assume its responsibilities and carry out its role of information according to the usual canons of truth and correctness, avoiding transmitting messages (on the internet they are generated like a form of virulent epidemic) which can have devastating effects on the most labile minds".
After apologizing to the journalists who carry out this job with "awareness, commitment and preparation", she says she is "determined to go all the way and denounce any repugnant newspaper smuggler who should give in to the temptation to denigrate me in such an unmotivated and gratuitous way and to endanger my own personal safety!".
"I believe that this is not a personal battle but an achievement of civilization", she writes on her social media in a letter signed together with her lawyer Marcello D'Onofrio.
