A service of Strip the News understandably infuriated Francesca Fagnani. Antonio Ricci’s satirical news program focused on the jewels worn by the presenter Beasts on several occasions, like al Sanremo Festival. The journalist’s response was immediate and piqued, holding the program responsible for voluntarily painting a negative image of her, allowing untrue things to be hypothesized about her.
The Striscia la Notizia report
Antonio Ricci’s satirical news program was concentrated in one report on the jewels shown off by Francesca Fagnani on multiple occasions. The reason? All belonging to the same brand: “A necklace with a brilliant chain and a single flower of precious stones, combined with a choker with four rows of diamonds. Two eye-catching rings with the same floral motif do not go unnoticed. Jewelry for a total value of approximately 110 thousand euros”.
An in-depth study of which it is difficult to understand the meaning, if not that of possibly hypothesize a relationship with this brand. The latter’s creations were also shown off at Sanremo Festival 2023as reported in a press release.
“Ethically speaking, will this display of designer ornaments be correct?” Here’s what you ask Strip the Newswho in fact launches allegations about the journalist, defined as “journalist-influencer” on the program’s social networks. Here is the response of the person concerned, in tone and in a clear and harsh manner.
Francesca Fagnani’s reply
Franceca Fagnani’s response was not long in coming. She came through Dagospia and aims to underline the clear intent behind the report: “The images you have broadcast, which concern me, lead the public to believe that may have received some benefit from wearing certain items on my television show.”
What the service makes, in a not too veiled way, is a strong accusation. As much as we try to make the tone provocative and joking (and fail), speaking for example of a journalist-influencer, we actually suggest what Fagnani then explains: “It would mean that I would have systematically violated professional lawthe rules that regulate my relationship with Rai and above all betrayed the relationship with the public”.
The journalist describes this representation as false and harmful. Something that offends her deeply. So what is the explanation behind all this? Something that Strip has not included in its service.
The products worn and shown off, without any recognition guaranteed to the producers, are supplied and made available free of charge from time to time for the interview. It is a free process that does not generate advantages or benefits “neither for me nor for others”. The only benefit comes from not having to purchase accessories to complete the costume.
“What was broadcast evidently exposes me to a negative judgment from the public, misled by your reconstruction in judging me and my conduct negatively”.
