A quarter of an hour of pure agony, with the interviewee increasingly resentful and the interviewer continuing but uphill. Teo Mammucari's guest appearance on Francesca Fagnani's Belve ends with a "fuck you" and an indignant exit from the studio. "I'm not comfortable. It's all bullshit," the entertainer began after just a couple of questions, immediately showing himself annoyed by the confidential "tu" behind the dressing rooms and the detached "lei" in the studio, but also arguing about the "darkness" and the silent audience. "Why do you put them all in the dark? When you say good evening and welcome it means 'shut up'...", attacks the entertainer. "You, very ironic, are not self-deprecating. If you haven't seen the program, why did you ask to come? If someone who attacks everyone doesn't take an interview...", replies the journalist. "It's not an interview, it's an attack," he replies.

"If it was her who proposed and wrote to me, why did she want to come here?" she asks. "Because you're good, you're intelligent, I follow you and I said 'I'd like to go'. But then I realized that the topics are very serious, you address me formally, I'm not comfortable. Do I regret it? No, the things that scare me are other things. I'm sorry, I don't want to do the show but I'd like to be confidential like we were in the dressing rooms."

"Relax, have fun," Fagnani suggests, reminding him that the format is designed like this, to tickle the interviewee and make him talk about himself starting from his past statements or "they say about you." But Mammucari is not happy with any of this : "It's all bullshit, shall we do two hours like this? I'm not Flavia Vento." The situation becomes increasingly tense: "Francé, let's stop... You're making me look like an idiot, full of myself... Guys, I'm leaving, I apologize." She tries until the very end to convince him to stay: "You can't expect only compliments." "You asked me to come," she blurts out, then switching to informal "you," "if you haven't seen the program, why did you ask me to come?" "I'm not comfortable if the questions are all like this. Thirty questions all 'they said about you'."

"This is how the program works, does he also want to design the studio? He took it badly, that's fine. He wanted to come and do the show," Fagnani continues. "You can decide to go whenever you want, I'm not kidnapping you. I'm happy if you stay. You feel uncomfortable, that's fine." "I prefer Francesca behind the scenes," he insists, "the one who sent me messages on WhatsApp in a nice way and who spoke to me on the phone in a nice way. I didn't make it? You didn't make it, you're not the same person." And after a final altercation standing up, he gets up and leaves, without giving up a flurry of "fuck yous" captured by the microphone.

The audience was speechless, Fagnani was dismayed: «It's the first time this has happened».
