«An innocent and joking gesture»
On his profile Instagram, that day in October 2022, the singer apologized for having «offended the sensitivity of Jessica Morlacchi and all the viewers. However, I would like to point out that what happened, certainly unsuccessful compared to his intentions, it was just an innocent and playful gesture towards an esteemed work colleague” wrote Memo Remigi.
«Woe to being disrespectful, especially to a woman»
But this afternoon, February 2, 2024, the artist reiterated the concept and indeed took it as a starting point to give a message to all men. «Woe betide anyone who lacks respect, especially towards a woman. I am the first to carry forward this fundamental principle, especially in the life of a man: a man cannot take advantage of certain situations, to make a woman feel weaker, to put her in a state of inferiority. Making certain gestures towards a woman I think she is demeaning to man himself: he is no longer a man, he is an unspeakable person”, he said firmly during the broadcast on Rai2.
