Aurora from “The Jackal” and the controversy with the Match of the Heart: “You’re a woman, you can’t stay here”

Aurora Leone and Ciro Priello dei The Jackal they will not be at Match of the Heart tonight at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. They will not be there because she, as a woman, according to her complaint on social media, was expelled from the organization.

Both had received an invitation to be part of the team of Champions for Research, led by Andrea Agnelli, who must challenge the National Singers, in the match that every year marries a charitable cause: in this case, to support theCandiolo Institute – Piedmontese Foundation for Cancer Research.

During the dinner preceding the meeting, however, Aurora Leone was removed from the table. His story is on social media. “Ciro and I sat at the table with the National Singers, but the general manager Gianluca Pecchini said we couldn’t sit there».

«We thought: he is telling us because we are from the opposing team. We try to get up but we are told that Ciro could stay and I could not, because I was a woman. “You are a woman, you cannot sit here“”. The actress then said that she had been called up as a player of the match. This is the answer she received: “Don’t let me explain why you can’t sit here, just get up.”

She also reports that they told her that she did not play: «Eh, you will put the outfit in the stands. Since when do women play? ». He also adds that the singers who were at the table apologized for what happened. “The research president has apologized and I don’t want all this to obscure the good cause of the project.”

Messages of support have arrived on social media from many, including Fedez: «It is disconcerting that a charity event turns into the saga of machismo. Honestly, the silence of the participants in the initiative who witnessed the scene is especially striking. @ciropriello let’s organize a beneficial basketball match, whenever you want ».

The National Singers he recalled that many women, from Gianna Nannini to Rita Levi di Montalcini, have participated and supported the group’s projects. «Our staff is almost entirely made up of women, as this year the hosts and the referee of the“ Match of the Heart ”are women. The Italian National Singers has never discriminated against sex, fame, musical genre, skin color, type of success and followers. There is only one thing in which the Italian Singing Team has never compromised: us we cannot accept arrogance, threats, rudeness and verbal violence from our guests».
