Stefano De Martino, Emma and that unbearable insistence of the public

If on the evening of 4 June you didn’t have the television on Rai2, it is very probable that you have come across the names of Stephen DeMartino and of Emma Brown and travel with your imagination. Why, 11 years after their farewell, do the two find themselves at the top of the trends of the platforms we frequent every day? The reason is very simple: Stefano and Emma leapt to the attention of the curious not for something they said to each other, but for a scene that, to a careful eye, would have been framed as perfectly normal. The facts: during the Napoli Scudetto party broadcast live on Rai2 hosted by De Martino in the presence of 50,000 people, it happened that several artists reached the center of the stadium to dedicate a tribute or homage to the city. Among these there was also Emma who, after performing her song, greeted the audience without realizing that Stefano De Martino was slowly advancing behind her to greet her.

Well, according to common opinion it seems that Emma “ran away” to avoid a confrontation with the conductor as well as ex-partner despite the fact that over the years they have spoken very well of each other, definitively burying the hatchet. The public, of course, remained fixed on what happened during the tournament Friends in 2012, when Stefano, then engaged to Emma, ​​started dating with Belen Rodriguez who, in that edition, was in the cast of professional dancers with him. The bomb for the lack of confrontation between the two in Naples generated a hornet’s nest of controversy which led, a few hours later, Emma herself to intervene on Instagram to calm the waters. “I’m sorry because actually there was no frost. Indeed, Stefano was very good, he maintained an extraordinary evening in the midst of 50 thousand people, I am proud of him» said Emma. «I didn’t even hear him speak behind me. So I wanted to reassure you: there is no frost, I didn’t run away anywhere because i never run away and i definitely don’t run away from a person to whom I want a world of good and of which I’m really proud», Emma pointed out who in fact, a few days later, even went to dinner with Stefano and Belén, as immortalized by a photo taken together with a fan and shared on Instagram. The question, however, remains: why are we so obsessed with the fact that there must necessarily be tension between Stefano and Emma?

We’ll tell you: because, in this world, conflict rules the world, and that’s why we hope to believe that there is bad blood between certain characters. It matters little that Emma and Stefano De Martino meet as friends and that Emma has even hosted an episode of Hyenas together with the then rival Belén Rodriguez: people believe what is convenient for them to believeand it is for this reason that, in the wake of historical feuds such as the one that divided Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, it is convenient for everyone to think that the two alumni of Friends make the best of a bad situation. We would like to reassure even the most skeptical with the hope that they will find peace: Emma and Stefano get along very well. Eleven years have passed since the end of their story, in the midst of which there have been a son, a marriage, a separation and a flashback (with Belén). Let’s stop being malicious and let’s stop this unbearable obsession. She does no honor to anyone.
