Melissa Satta against the haters: “I’m accused of I don’t know what, maybe of being a woman?”

Matthew Berrettini doesn’t win? It’s because he fell in love. Actually no, it’s his girlfriend’s fault: Melissa Satta. In summary, this is the (very high) debate that has arisen on social media since Matteo Berrettini and Melissa Satta they made theirs public love story. And what happened a moment later is that the bad moment that the tennis player is going through, recovering from several defeats since the beginning of the year, was directly linked to his love story. The vulgate has decided: the problem is Melissa Satta. Thus, comment after comment, the former tissue has become the target of the fans who have begun to accuse her of the cause of the tennis player’s defeats. Up to the headline of a newspaper that she wrote: «Melissa Satta brings bad luck». Would the same have happened if the tennis player had been “the tennis player”? Would anyone have ever dreamed of writing that it was all the fault of the actor who was next to him, for example? The answer, in all likelihood, is no.

Thus, Melissa Satta, tired of being attacked, decided to respond by posting a video on social media in which she told what was happening. «I have been experiencing a rather surreal situation on social media for some time. I have been receiving messages of insults for a few months now which I define as bullying and also as sexism, two very important topics and to which I am very sensitive. It is a message that I want to send to the many girls who experience situations like this every day. I am attacked for my personal story, for the sentimental story I am living, but there are many girls who are bullied every day for many other reasons. I think that in 2023, neither this type of bullying nor this type of sexism should exist anymore. Many years ago I chose and accepted to be a public figure, I accept whatever it takes to be a public figure, I’m happy to talk about myself on social media, to tell you about my job, my role also as a mother, as a woman, but I still love to keep a few things for me.’

The attacks following the officialization of their story led the tennis champion to almost have to justify himself during an interview and say that basically he is just a boy in love as happens to many boys of his age.

“Right now I’m simply trying to live a sentimental situation with another person,” continues Melissa Satta in the video. «I simply want to try to be happy, to find my moment of peace and tranquility. I think it’s not a fault, I’m a public figure but also a normal girl, who is a mother every day and lives a really normal life away from the spotlight. These days I’m being accused of I don’t know what, maybe of being a woman? Do we really have to point the finger at a woman in 2023 because her partner is experiencing a slightly more difficult moment in his job? And if it was the woman who experienced a difficult working moment, would the man have been blamed in this way? I think that each of us can experience a somewhat complicated moment in our career, there are ups and downs in everyone’s life. I love social media, but why insult?». And finally the attack on the media. «A very important newspaper also made a surreal headline “Melissa brings bad luck”. Over the years I have learned to let these things slip on me, I do it for the many girls who experience similar situations of bullying and sexism every day. Let’s all examine our conscience, I don’t want my son to grow up with all this hatred.”
