A little sorry that to silence the rumors that they wanted them close to separation already in February, Ilary Blasi and Francesco Totti have chosen the path of irreproachability, the one that led them to defend their privacy by talking about lies, inferences, inferences and jokes specially packaged by the Italian press in order to damage them. More than the story on Instagram of Totti, who spoke of repeated fake news published by newspapers and information sites without worrying too much about the children who could have read certain headlines the next day, what remains etched in the memory is above all the clarifying interview that Ilary Blasi granted to very true by her friend Silvia Toffanin on the occasion of the broadcasting of the second edition ofIsland of the Famous that he would see her in the role of host. More than the anticipations on the reality show, what impressed the audience were, in fact, the very harsh words that Ilary reserved for journalists who had allowed themselves to report untrue rumors about him and his family, launching himself in an invective that today, a few hours after the double press release that formalized the end of the Totti-Blasi marriage, it is not a little disorienting.
After having hinted several times that behind there was who knows what plot and who knows what plot to damage them – a concept repeated also in the interview released a few weeks later to Beasts, the one in which he explained that his marriage could never survive a betrayal -, Ilary Blasi has chosen very harsh words towards the reporters and Elzevirists who in February had dedicated page after page to the alleged Totti crisis, hoping that the rumors would not were true because in the end the Totti have always been the Italian royal familythe only couple to have survived for a long time that football-letter combination that in the 2000s was the Pretty Woman of all eighteen-year-olds who dreamed of social and economic limelight. “It was all disgusting “Ilary told Toffanin adding that all the main Italian newspapers, from Republic to the Courier«They broke the news as if it were certain, making a great shit figure“. Strong words that now the Italian press does not forgive them because if it was clear that with Francesco there had been an air of crisis for some time, choosing the path of aggression proved to be a double-edged sword.
We understand how important it was at that moment to independently manage the communication of a delicate matter such as the end of a marriage, yet look at the camera – of the telephone or of a television studio – in the face and talking about slander and media fury seemed a little smart move, above all because it was clear that sooner or later the news would come out. Both Ilary and Francesco could have chosen another path: evading the questions, softening the answers and, above all, avoiding telling the obviously well-informed journalists that they had done it out of the box. Many might say that, in the end, “it’s their business,” and they would be right. Suspending any kind of judgment, we limit ourselves to saying that, in hindsight, it would have been the case to rely on a communication expert a little more far-sighted than the one who followed them in February, because it is a pity that the news of the end of such a long story is now overshadowed by the aggressiveness of those denials that later turned out to be false.
Totti and Ilary Blasi really break up (and yes, everyone’s sorry)
