"It took me two months to watch that off-camera bit again, and when I watched it again, I didn't recognize myself in it. I felt embarrassed for myself because I'm not like that."

Andrea Giambruno returns to television and interviewed by Paolo Del Debbio on Dritto e Rovescio on Retequattro talks about the off-air broadcast on Striscia La Notizia, which in October 2023 led to the separation from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after almost ten years of relationship and a child.

" I apologize to the people who saw that off-camera comment," he said, "and to my family who suffered so much and who I should have protected differently. There is a woman I should have protected, a family I should have protected, and I didn't ." And again: "I was sorry that Andrea was portrayed as a monster. I'll tell you an anecdote. While I was on the couch with my daughter, a guest on a show called me a 'serial molester.' I am not a molester, be careful how you use words. This experience hurt me deeply."

The people involved in the off-air - he continued - "are people I've known for years. I continue to do the same job. With these people I confused a climate of friendship with a climate of work. It was a mistake and I will never do it again. I apologized to my colleagues and they accepted it because they know what kind of person I am. Among the people who have remained closest to me is the one involved in the off-air, so evidently I'm not such a monster ."
