Rai state broadcaster on Wednesday opened disciplinary proceedings against a journalist accused of body shaming rapper BigMama after her appearance at the Sanremo Song Festival on opening night Tuesday.
Rai's CEO Roberto Sergio, the broadcaster said, "upon learning of the disparaging tweet against a competing artist, asked Rai's Human Resources Department to open disciplinary proceedings against a journalist for body shaming".
Proceedings have also been opened against another journalist who criticized Trentino authorities after the culling of a bear, M90, who had become over-friendly, the statement added.
