In a video on Instagram on the last day of the year, the model brought up by Fabrizio Corona in his complaint about the «Signorini System» tries to explain his state of mind: «I was a victim of the manager at the time»
«I want to be very clear on this: I never slept with Alfonso Signorininot the first time, and not after… Never.” On the last day of the year Antonio Medugnothe 27 year old Neapolitan model with 3 million followers only on TikTokturns the camera towards himself and in a vodeo published on his social channels he tries to tell his truth about the “Signorini case” again and this time without the “filter” of Fabrizio Coronathan on his Falsissimo.it has uncovered an affair which first led the journalist to announce complaints against the “king of the paparazzi” and, in the last week of the year, to suspend himself from all professional commitments with the Mediaset networks and to the opening of a file against him by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office for crimes of sexual violence and extortion.
In the video published on New Year’s Eve Medugno admits that he understands «the suspicion, because around this context there have been many suggestive messages, and of a relationship that in hindsight I recognize as wrong» and says he wants to take «my responsibility: I handled that situation very badly, I left room for that ambiguity that I should never have accepted».
«I am not looking for sympathy, nor am I looking for approval, I answer calmly and with facts to the questions I read everywhere, because In recent days many false things have been said about me» adds Medugno. Who says he feels exhausted in the face of the outcry that the turn of events has taken: “Honestly, I’m very tired of it.” Tired of a story that «for years I tried to bury it, when you are involved in dynamics of shame and fear, you often don’t report it right away. You close yourself off, you blame yourself, you fear not being believedbut above all you fear the impact on your life and work. It’s a documented thing: too many people delay reporting these events. In those four years I did therapy and tried to move forward. I decided to protect myself legally only when the situation became public. I understood that silence would destroy me, because in that period I didn’t have the clarity that I have today.”
Antonio Medugno admits: «Were there messages? Yes, and in hindsight I recognize that they were ambiguous messagesand that perhaps I should have put a boundary much earlier. But – try to justify – when you are young, when you have a lot of pressure on you, when you fear missing out on job opportunities, you don’t always think clearly.”
Then the accusation. «At that moment, unfortunately, I trusted my old manager blindly, so I downplayed everythingbecause they had manipulated me into thinking that this was right – underlines Medugno -. I didn’t go there to have sex or get favors, I went there thinking of making things clearto demonstrate what kind of person I was, and what kind of values I had. It was a naive choice, I admit, but naivety means neither consent nor guiltbecause when you experience an unbalanced dynamic you don’t always escape immediately. You often minimize, rationalize, and tell yourself you can handle it. What will pass…”
