The Satta-Berrettini couple and the controversies
For the most talked-about couple of recent months, it is certainly not a moment of flat calm. Indeed… E their presence at the evening in Cap d’Antibes for the amfAR Cinema Against Aids Cannes Gala wanted to silence controversy and criticism.
In recent months, in fact, the couple had to face many attacks. Melissa Satta was in fact accused of being the cause of the tennis player’s sporting problems. A distraction indeed. And Berrettini, for his part, is experiencing a complicated moment for his career as a tennis player. And the pressures to which he is subjected are many.
In an interview, the tennis player had stated that love is “a feeling, not a distraction”, trying to debunk the criticisms. And demonstrating all of his love for her girlfriend.
Melissa Satta: «Do we still have to be this sexist in 2023?»
The showgirl, on the other hand, had decided to respond in her Instagram Stories. «I am experiencing a rather surreal situation on social networks. It’s been a few months now that I’ve been receiving a lot of messages of insults, messages that I define as bullying and sexism. This is a message 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’m living. But then there are other girls who are bullied for many other reasons », she said.
Then he concluded with a very interesting reflection. «These days I am being accused of I don’t know what: perhaps of being a woman? Truly we still have to be that sexist in 2023 and pointing the finger at a woman because your partner is experiencing a different or maybe more difficult moment in your job?».
It’s a provocation. «What if it happened on the other side? If perhaps it was the woman who experienced a more difficult working moment, would the man have been blamed in this way?».
