«I never believed that note» confesses Orietta with a touch of emotion «I experienced it very badly, people excluded me. I couldn’t go on TV anymore, we didn’t do interviews anymore. Only the strength of my audience kept me alive. I felt guilty, but I wasn’t to blame».
At the end of the interview, Francesca also subjects Orietta to a hilarious test on rapper slangasking her the meaning of words like “ghostare” or “flexare”. «I don’t know, because they talk normal to me!» the singer replies with a smile.

If a family member gets sick, the whole family gets sick.”
Speaking of serious episodes of the child – drugs, detention and ADHD diagnosis –, Martina states: «I’m not a super mom. I am a mother who acted from the heart, who asked for help. It was about making our son safe, even with painful choices. But if you have a child with cancer you have him undergo chemotherapy and if you have a child who has psychotic episodes you have to have it done by someone who is competent.”
