During the seasonal debut of Dancing with the Stars , the first hard fight between competitor and judge is staged.
Protagonists Iva Zanicchi , in the role of dancer, and Selvaggia Lucarelli . Tension arose at the end of the performance of Ligonchio's eagle, with the journalist harshly commenting on the performance and then assigning a "zero" as a vote. Zanicchi at that point addressed her with a very ugly sexist epithet, whispering "bitch" in the ear of her dance partner, Samuel Peron. But forgetting that the microphone was open .
The offense did not escape the viewers, who flocked to social media to comment. So Lucarelli asked Zanicchi for an apology. Arrived several times: "Unfortunately sometimes I say things without thinking about it, I hope you understand that there was no meanness", wrote the singer on Twitter.
Sprinkling the head with ashes again in Francesca Fialdini's studio in the program “Da noi a free wheel” on Rai1. "What I said is very heavy, I am aware of it, I apologized to Selvaggia last night. In the theater he had not heard, not even the judges, Matano, Milly Carlucci, but the videos arrived immediately ... I said it , I do not hide it, but I was so upset by the zero received that I approached my partner and whispered this dirty word , a stupid word, not remembering that Samuel had the headband with the microphone open, otherwise no one would have heard, but it would have been unforgivable anyway ".
Lucarelli intervened on the phone: "It is true that yesterday Iva after the broadcast apologized, she was a bit dazed, now I am hearing what she is saying, but she did not say a stupid word, she used
a sexist and rather serious epithet . I accept the apologies, I do not ask that the offense be washed with blood, but it must be defined very clearly. The fact that you say there was no meanness makes me think that you use that word automatically in life, and it would be even more serious. I'm also a fan of hers, she really enjoys it when she's in a good mood, with her irreverent utterances, but there is a big difference between being a caciarona and being a woman who uses a sexist epithet to mortify and delegitimize another woman "."It is a dirty word, an interlayer that is used in my country and that does not want to be offensive but it is, I realized I was wrong, I have no justifications", reiterated the singer. From Lucarelli a jab also to Samuel Peron : "I consider him as guilty as Iva Zanicchi: whoever joins and makes an accomplice chuckle is as guilty as the other, I expect an apology from him maybe not public, but also private".
