«And here I am, once again forced to assume my self-defense before the court of the media inquisition, without having committed any 'crime' or any behavior characterized by moral reprehensibility».
Thus begins Melissa Satta 's harsh and embittered post against the rumors and insinuations that have circulated in recent days regarding the end of her relationship with the tennis player Matteo Berrettini . The media and gossip sites are in the sights of the model and showgirl of Sardinian origin who, she writes, did not fail "to make the news tastier with the obvious aim of selling some paper copies or earning a few more clicks, defining me as 'sex addicted'".
«Now know – continues Satta on her Instagram profile – that just having to write about myself reporting a definition that deeply tears me apart requires enormous psychic strength because I feel like I'm catapulted into the dock, forced to defend myself in a perverse system in which the presumption of innocence does not apply, but that of guilt , for which, based on this a burden of proof on the contrary - if I am not able to prove facts in my defense - I will be considered guilty".
Furthermore, the former showgirl, announcing her intention to take legal action against anyone who circulates false and insinuating information about her, writes: «I have thought several times, and I still think, that I belong to a world of people for whom fate has reserved the fortune of being public figures and of having to take into account some inevitable invasion into my private life, but it is not the first time that I find myself forced to defend myself from some pen salesman who, in order to stimulate the imagination of readers more sensitive to the topic, does not fail to invent spicy stories about me, without caring in the slightest about the suffering caused to me as a mother, before that as a woman and as a person ."
«I don't want to exploit sexism as fuel to fuel my outburst - concludes Melissa - nor do I want to give in to the easy temptation of recalling news events that daily see women subjected to the unhealthy gestures of some disturbed mind, but I think it's time for the press to assume its responsibilities and carry out the role of information according to the usual standards 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 . For this reason – concludes Satta – this time I swear to myself that I will not think of the episode in question as a simple hiccup on the bumpy road to fame."
