Meet the firefighters, promote free screening for cancer prevention, inaugurate public parks, award prizes to deserving citizens. But of all that Matilde Celentano, mayor of Latina, 65 years oldposted on his social networks, documenting his institutional activity with consistency and in great detail, some users only seem to be struck by his physical appearance. The alleged “facelift”the “sleeveless lips”, the “remade” face.
And she decided to reply. «Unfortunately, the insults on social media by the so-called “keyboard lions”, who are never lions, do not stop with my physical appearance. With my lawyers I am collecting all the screenshots to formalize a complaint as soon as possible. It is unacceptable to be judged not for the work I do as mayor, but for the suspicion of having resorted to cosmetic surgery. No male colleague, before me, has been pointed out or mocked for the color or teased hair, if anything attacked for his political or administrative actions. It’s absurd what is happening to me, I find it vulgar behavior.”
Already some time ago, in the city council, the mayor had tried to silence those insinuations by revealing that she had fought an illness. «I have already explained publicly that my body has undergone temporary changes due to the therapies I have followed for cancer treatment – which also includes cortisone – and which I am still following.”
But Matilde Celentano still wants to underline that «even if I had chosen to have cosmetic surgery, I don’t see why anyone should judge me or any other woman for a personal decision. I find these types of attacks deeply disrespectful and offensive. No one should feel judged or attacked for their appearance, especially considering what, in many cases, people face personal or health battles that are not visible to others. Because of body shaming perpetrated on social media, many women commit suicide, this must be said.”
